A "Good News" Christmas story

Emma is three. Her pregnant mum fell down the stairs, so Emma phoned 999.

Here she is talking to the emergency services.

What teamwork! Emma got an award.

A big "Well done" to Sarah for keeping her so calm and controlled.

I saw that on the news tonight, what a complete and utter star. I was spellbound, teary and amazed all at once.

I was amazed, too, when I saw it on the tele tonight.

Credit must be given to her parents too, for bringing up such a sensible little girl.

Oh what a clever little girl!!! :D

So glad Mum and baby were ok, I fell down the stairs when I was expecting Christopher - from about halfway down, straight onto my stomach and skidded right across the polished hallway floor! Totally unhurt, as was he :shock: Talk about lucky........

I thought that the call handler was excellent.

She kept Emma engaged, did not panic her, and got her to do the right things to keep mum safe. She was equally a star in my mind. She was so calm and 'conversational' in order to keep three yr-old Emma concentrated on the basics without scaring her.

Such a great result all round.

She was great, they get excellent training - one of Mick's old rugby friends is a police call handler :)

I bet her mum is proud of her. What a bright little girl; and yes the call handler did brilliantly too.
