911 Emergency Calls
The following is an actual occurrence that happened on the morning of 911 and I found it to be most interesting, but its was not relayed to the public and was drowned out by all that happened with the Trade Towers. Take a look at the call:
This is the transcript of the Monday morning 911 call 5-year-old Tia Hernlen made after she found her mother dead or dying and father badly hurt in the bedroom of their New Smyrna Beach home:

Calls Emergency
Oh my God! If you could see me now you would see a grown man trying to choke back tears at work! I am imagining a child seeing his parents bleeding all over the place, having no idea what has happened. How terribly tragic and horrible.
My oldest is almost five, and there is no way he would be able to do that. He doesn't seem to want to learn unless he is told he wont go to school unless he will. It seems awefully advanced for a five year old though. I don't know that the average five year old would be able to do that.
911 Emergency Calls UFO & Writing Art Education Sciences
This is a very inspiring story. Knowing that a 5 year old has the knowledge and the ability to get help in a situation such as this is remarkable. Unfortunately not every instance is exactly how this call played out. In a more recent story:
Child Scolded By Dispatcher
A 5 year old boy in this case called into 911 after his mother had passed out. The dispatcher disregarded this call as a childs prank and even went so far as scolding him for playing with the telephone. I have read the actual call log in the last few weeks but I was unable to find it with my search this morning. In this case however held did not arrive timely and the boys mother died soon after.

Calls Emergency
911's deadly flaw: Lack of location data
A USA TODAY Network investigation shows that lives are in jeopardy because millions of cellphone calls aren't sharing the caller's location with 911 call centers that send out police, fire and ambulance crews during emergencies. In some cases, callers have died while waiting to be found. Ref. USAToday
