Articles labeled: 911

Teaching your kids little songs to remember important things like their address or what number to dial for help seems like a great idea. It certainly was for one Oklahoma mom.

Jessica Eaves taught her daughter, Madelyn, the song a week before she fainted due to a medical condition called vasovagal syncope (vayzo-vay-gal SIN’-kuh-pea).

When the 24-year-old and 3-months-pregnant Eaves fainted, Madelyn picked up her mother’s BlackBerry phone.

She pressed 911 and the green button and was connected to a dispatcher.

In the recently released 911 call, Madelyn was able to answer questions about her house and cars outside that led emergency workers to the home.

These teens may have saved their own lives and the life of their loser “father” by being proactive and calling the cops on his ass:

Authorities said Robert Montoya, 52, was drunk behind the wheel with three teenage girls trapped inside, two of them his daughters. One of the daughters made the frantic call to 911 as she attempted to get her dad to pull over. Dispatchers described the girls as being very frightened.

And I thought it was cool when my 2 year old could be persuaded/taught to get my slippers and a diet coke:

There’s a 2-year-old hero in Oak Harbor, Wash.
When Erika Miller collapsed in her home Tuesday, her toddler Alana picked the phone and dialed 911.

And she knew just enough words to get her mom some help. The tape of Alana’s 911 call reveals the resourceful little girl’s plea for help.
