Oh my gosh, how terrible and sad . That poor boy! He would have been panicking about his mother at that time, I can barely imagine what kind of state he would have been in when that operator was clearly taking him for a pranker, and was also rather rude aswell.

the operator said: "Now put her on the phone before I send the police out there to knock on the door and you gonna be in trouble."

What an idiot. Threatening that poor kid when he was desperate to help his mother. And another thing, has this operator ever spoken on the phone to someone unconcious before? I think not.

This is terrible...
I used to work at walmart and once the police called and started yelling at me that there were kids outside calling 911 then hanging up, really how the hell was I supposed to know they were doing this on a payphone and to call me inside the store and tell me to get out there NOW and tell them to stop really made me mad, he could have done it alot nicer but the thing is why would he phone and yell at me like it my fault some kid is dialing 911... I think they need to work out some glitches in their system for that childs sake!

EVERY 911 call should be taken seriously. Shame on the dispatcher.

When I was an Auxiliary State Trooper, I was in a bank line (in uniform as I was on my way to work). This little boy was hanging on the velvet ropes and was just plane bore waiting in line with his mother. She was getting annoyed at him and tried to get him to stand still (the kid wasn't more than 4 years old). She looked and pointed at me and said, "If you don't stop your figeting, I'm going to tell that police lady to take you to jail!!" I was SOOOOO pissed. Parents shouldn't teach their children to fear the police, or threaten them with something like going to jail. I very politely told her what she did was wrong, and I didn't appreciate her making me look like a bad guy to her kid. I then went over to the little boy and had a little talk with him. He asked me if my gun was real and if I was going to take him to jail. I told him no, that he shouldn't be afraid of me that I put bad guys in jail, not little kids. I then gave him a piece of gum.

Some parents are SOO stupid. That really made me angry.

I'm glad the family of the little 911 boy is suing. Maybe it'll prove a point, as moot as the issue is right now.

Wow. Now that was stupid, wasn't it? That kids going to grow up being afraid of the police.

I'm glad the family is suing too. My heart goes out to that little boy and his family. That 911 operater should be ashamed of herself.
