My little hero

The Advertiser: My little hero :

"Mrs Baldwin still gets emotional talking about Caleb's actions. 'I'd taught him if he could not wake mummy he was to dial the three circles on the telephone and tell the operator he could not wake mummy,' she said."

Just goes to show. Children can be taught to be very responsible if you find the right way. The parents are excellent for teaching their little boy since he was the one who would, more likely than not, be with the mother if anything happened. He took it in his stride. He responded to the cues , and his mother , who is only 27 , is safe and well thanks to him. His parents were good to include him as a resource since it was a life or death situation and for him it was a set of things to do. The ambulance people will now be aware of him and the mother and can create a meaningful relationship with the family so that this type predicament can be dealt with routinely. The ambulance people did well to get there so fast. It's a great community approach. Maybe there's some techno gizmo which he can press with her details or something like that which would automatically make the call or alert. Somehow it is easier when everyone is in the loop. What a fantastic story.
