Two year old's life saving 999 call inspires mother's message

Available for over a year

Jo Keeling had her life saved by her two-year-old daughter. A decade on and she wants parents to educate their children on how to dial 999 and when it's right to do so. Jo emailed the show saying '10 years ago I was home alone with my two young children and I had an anaphylactic shock. My daughter had been inadvertently taught to make a 999 call after a game of doctors and nurses and also watched an episode of the Tweenies about emergencies. When it happened the phone was in another room so I shouted for my daughter to bring it to me only she called 999 herself aged two and a half.'
