In January 2010, the Greenfield Emergency Services (number 061 in Spain) of Greenfield in Indiana / United States received a call from a man who, after dialing the number (911 in the United States) could not say a word . Mr. Hensley handed the terminal to his five-year-old daughter who explained the problem to the operator, and remained calm throughout the conversation, and despite the status of his father.
And it is that Mr. Hensley, noticed how he ran out of breath while reading a story to his daughter in bed, and after getting up to find his phone and call the emergency room, he realized that he suffered a heart attack. At that time the mother was not at home, although she also answers some questions in the transcript of the interview that NBC Universal subsequently published. Both parents were then proud of the girl's behavior, which despite her young age was not only able to have a calm conversation over the phone, but also he encouraged his father, and told details related to the environment.
Savannah was very brave and determined, and surprising how quickly she solves the questions asked by the operator who attended her. It is also very nice to realize how he is aware of everything around him: he tells the father not to worry, he attends to the puppy that seems to be barking, tells that he is in pajamas and that he should dress; Y all while making sure that the ambulance will not take long to arrive to help his dad.
I know that many fathers and mothers wonder what would happen if being alone with young children, something happens to them; and I know that one of the telephone numbers that many children have memorized is 061. I am also sure that any child is given the necessary confidence and is led to believe in his possibilities would be able to successfully solve a complicated situation like the one that Savannah lived in first person. We wish it would not happen, and we would be the ones to take care of them, but our children would respond well if they had to take care of us, sure.
