AUDIO: Clever six-year-old saves unconscious mother with amazingly calm 999 call

What a fantastic little girl.

Little Tianna Measuria has been drawing praise from all quarters this week after she bravely helped ambulance crews to save her unconscious mother.

Tianna - from Falmouth in Cornwall - woke to find her mother, Jazmin Carter, in bed unconscious with blood coming from her mouth last month.

In a situation that would drive most adults into a panic, the bright six-year-old picked up the phone and called 999.

Call handler Vicki Fallding picked up the call and heard the youngster ask: “My mummy's a bit poorly, please can you help?”.

Fallding was amazed as Tianna calmly and clearly responded to her questions in order to help get a crew out to Jazmin. Tianna followed the lessons taught to her by her stepfather to give the operator all the details she needed.

The six-year-old then even courageously tried to put her mother on her side, but found her mum too heavy for her to move.

Selfless Tianna can even be heard warmly reassuring her mother that help was coming saying: “Don't worry mummy, don't worry, it's fine.”

Shortly after the call a local policeman called to help and was swiftly followed by the UK South Western Ambulance Service to aid Jazmin, who has since made a full recovery.

Call handler Fallding has full of praise for the calmness tiny Tianna displayed.

“I was surprised at how mature and calm she was. It was like speaking to a much older child. I’ve spoken to adults who, in similar circumstances, are very distressed and not always able to answer all the questions,” said Fallding.

“Not only was she able to answer the questions I posed to her, but did so in such a clear and concise manner. We were all so impressed with the level of detail she was able to provide and would definitely encourage all parents to teach their children how to get help for them should a similar situation arise."

Mum Jazmin was obviously tremendously proud and grateful for her daughter’s quick thinking.

“Tianna’s step-dad taught her what to do in an emergency situation. He works away and impressed upon her the importance of knowing what to do. I am very proud and also very lucky that she was with me and knew exactly what to do,” said Jazmin.

Tianna was recognised for her bravery with a certificate from the ambulance trust this week and, dare we say, a career in medicine awaits.

Well done Tianna!!
