A three-year-old girl has been praised for saving her heavily pregnant mother with a 999 call after she fell down the stairs at their home. Report by Cara Legg.
@Alex O'Toole You do realize a 3 year old wouldn't even know what the emergency number is much less what to say unless her parents specifically trained her to do so? And children are absolutely heavily influenced by parenting style used with, good or bad.
@Alex O'Toole I highly doubt most three year olds would know how to emergency dial, they usually have to be taught that. Both of them deserve credit, the parents for teaching her this and the child for being responsible and doing what she was taught.
Fernanda - I hope you meant the hypothetical one that MSEIL was joking about. This call was done very well in my opinion. That's probably a difference in training from U.K. TO USA, though.
I loved how the dispatcher assisted the little girl. Her voice is very comforting and reassuring. Thank you so much for your service. Keep loving your work. 🥰
999 operators are so much better than American 911 operators when talking to children omg its heartbreaking listening to children calling 911 they are going through something scary and operators just ask the questions they need to while not offering any comfort to the child. i wish 911 operators were more like this 999 operator.
i love how everyone is saying that most of comments are about how americans didn't know that not all countries use 911 when all i can see are comments about people saying that most of comments are about how americans didn't know that not all countries use 911

Cause I've scrolled down so far now, that all the comments have 0 likes or just 1, and still haven't come across a single comment, like the ones everyone are talking about, so they would have to have been non-liked comments, in which case, why do SO MANY PEOPLE care so much?
+Slushdog 101 takes 2 seconds to google it instead of commenting saying how stupid the girl/poster is for thinking it's 999 instead of 911. Just shows a lot of ignorance tbh.
Britain was the first country in the world to introduce the standard short emergency number 999 in 1937 after a fatal fire with multiple deaths. A phone call to the fire brigade couldn't be quickly put through the phone exchange because of the busy time of day. 999 was chosen because on the old mechanical exchanges 9 was the last number on each rotor and thus bypassed all other numbers. USA, playing catch up, took another 31years to introduce 911 in 1968.
neville mason 999 was also chosen with an eye to the then obviously impending war, as it was easier to find and dial on a rotary dial 'phone during an air-raid blackout
@@jessie-ht7bc In the UK it is 999 or 112 or, if calling from a roaming cellphone, 911 as well. They all work. Support for Advanced Mobile Location (AML) has also been implemented so if you call one of the numbers from your mobile phone your GPS location is automatically transmitted and the operator knows where you are even before the call is answered.
This story is the most lovely one ever, imagine having a beautiful, smart daughter like Emma and know that she saved your baby and probably yourself when she was 3yo!
Bruh to all the Americans freaking out because other countries have different emergency call numbers, *get a grip* I'm American too, but after about two seconds I realized that *logically* other countries would have different numbers for emergency services. It would be different if everyone in the vid had strong American accents and were clearly American, but it's obvious that they are British. Like I seriously don't get how stupid some people must be.
+Opalleaves Finally someone who gets it. I was losing faith in America. I mean I didn't know the UK's number was 999 but I know that every country has a different number. Thats really all you need to know to connect the lines, but some people not just Americans are sadly uncapable of understanding this.
Bless her, so young but so smart deserving of that bravery award & in years to come she’ll realise how much of a true inspiration she was in helping save the life of her beautiful baby brother xx
What the hell does it matter whether the emergency number is 911 or 999. It's the way the call centre deal with the call, particularly if a small child is calling and probably needs some friendly and calming reassurance and assistance. I assume that all call handlers no matter what nationality ARE trained to deal with childrens calls, aswell adults. All i can finally say is Emma, you're a jolly good girl, very clever, and a brave girl too.I hope that very soon, you will be able to have lots of fun times, playing with your baby brother that you helped to save. I know that your mummy and daddy are very proud of you and also very happy to have such a big, brave, clever and beautiful giri as THEIR little girl. Well done sweetheart.
@@missprimproper1022 and again. It's such a nice term of endearment for a child. I've never heard the word poppet but it is such a pleasant sounding word
The whole context of the emergency call was quite scary, but at the same time, the toddler is being so calm on the phone with the dispatcher, and she just has the most adorable voice!
I'm a mother of four, and this video nearly made me cry. I love the little girl!, who reminds me a little of my 5-year-old girl, my youngest. Thank goodness the mother and baby boy were OK!
I know this is a few years old, but darn it makes my heart happy. Everyone involved was so incredible from the dispatcher to the clever little girl, and what a beautiful baby brother! She truly saved his life, which makes her the best big sister ever 💜
A lot of former Asian British colonies also use 999. Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong. Also a lot of former British colonies in the Middle East also use 999. Some African and Caribbean countries too. Canada, a former colony was also 999 originally, but changed this to 911 in 1959.

I love how the woman's voice changes when she hears it's a child. And the constant reassuring. That's someone with great people skills.
The other hero is the 999 responder...
Her being younger was probably what saved her mother’s life. The girl didn’t panic because she didn’t understand how bad it was.
Oh! Good point. But still, she knew what to do in an emergency. Smart girl. Or well-trained by her parents for such a young age.
Well maybe she did and knew to stay calm

History is so cool!
And 911 wasn't adopted nationwide until much later. I still remember the police and fire numbers from growing up in the 70s.
the irony! when you realise 911 is similar to 9/11 and the attacks in america. yep strange coincidence

Such a BRAVE little soul!!! Thats a good thing and the mother is REALLY lucky to have her!!😊😊😊
I just wish 911 callers were this nice. Even when they're genuinely helping, they sound snappy.
If this was America they would ask her fifty times "so your mom fell down the stairs?"
