3-year-old uses song lyrics to call 911 for mother
A mother taught her 3-year old daughter a simple song which would let her call 911 when her mom fainted. The song was called "911 Green" and little Madelyn used that song to call for help on her mother’s BlackBerry phone. She punched the numbers 911 and pressed the green send button which was taught by her mom just a week prior to the time she passed out.
Madelyn was connected to a dispatcher and she was able to answer questions regarding her house and that lead emergency workers to their home.
A year ago, Madelyn’s mother, Jessica Eaves first learned she had a condition that can cause frequent fainting and made up a simple song around the lyrics "green, green, green." When Eaves lost consciousness back then, Madelyn picked up a cell phone and pressed the green button, which called the last person Eaves had called and that person called for help.
So Eaves revised the words to "911 green, 911 green," referring to the color of the send button on most cell phones.
Do you have a link to this Yukz? Pretty interesting stuff.. I also trained my kid on how to dial the phone to either me or her mom in case anything happens to the either of us.
