Launceston boy, 4, calls Triple Zero to save his mum

A four-year-old boy dialed 911 when his mother suffered a seizure a day after she taught him how to do so.

Last month, Wendy Cocker lost consciousness in her home in northern Tasmania, causing her son Monty to put his training into effect by dialing 911.

Just before paramedics arrived, an operator answered the call.

Wendy Cocker demonstrated to her son Monty (pictured) how to dial 911 after seeing an ambulance station at the Tasmanian Agfest.

In a recording of his call to triple-0, Monty stated that his mother had collapsed.

He also disclosed that he was four years old and that his dog was often barking at people.

Ms. Cocker told ABC that she attempted to contact her husband when she felt bad, but she passed out after the call went to voicemail.

The registered nurse stated, “Within a couple of minutes after that, Monty dialed 911, and that’s about all I recall.”

“When I regained consciousness, everything was occurring and an ambulance was present,”

The previous day, the Launceston mum instructed her boy on how to dial triple zero from a locked and unlocked mobile phone.

She observed the ambulance station at the Tasmanian Agfest while there with her son’s school.

As she had been experiencing seizures, she demonstrated how to make the call to him.

Emergency service employees who responded to the incident awarded Monty with a certificate of appreciation (pictured, the boy with his award, alongside paramedics who responded to the emergency and his mum)

Ms. Cocker remarked, “He is extraordinarily unique; he is a very bright young boy.”

The responding emergency response workers presented Monty with a certificate of appreciation.

Danielle Masters, a paramedic for intensive care, was astonished by how perceptive the young boy was for his age.

Ms. Masters remarked, “I was astounded at how he realized he needed to contact an ambulance and how to do so.”
