The older sister started crying for help. The mom, who found the bathroom door locked, kicked it down to find her baby stuck in the potty. When the mom pulled her out, the baby was blue and not breathing.  First responders were able to perform CPR and resuscitate the girl; she was then airlifted to the hospital, where she was listed in serious condition.
