    RealAge answered:

    Don’t move your child if you suspect a head, neck, or back injury. With any serious head injury, assume your child also has a broken neck, just in case. Cover your child with a blanket and wait for the paramedics.

    From The Smart Parent's Guide: Getting Your Kids Through Checkups, Illnesses, and Accidents by Jennifer Trachtenberg.
