Cute Toddler Calls 911 And Cop Can’t Stop Laughing When She Arrives
By Mike-Ross
Emergencies can be quite different for adults and toddlers. While grown-ups may think of incidents like finding someone unconscious, witnessing a burning building, or hearing gunshots as emergencies, young children might perceive them differently. For toddlers like Aaliyah Garett, running out of cookies, not being able to find Waldo, or having to go down for a nap can be considered devastating emergencies.
Fortunately, Aaliyah's mom had always taught her what to do in case of any emergency – call 911. So, when the 2-year-old from Greenville, South Carolina, found herself in a particularly challenging situation, she knew precisely how to handle it.
One afternoon in the spring of 2016, Aaliyah was really struggling. She had an emergency on her hands. So, she called 911.
When the dispatcher answered, he wasn’t able to get much information out of her, though. She said “hello” a few times, then hung up.
Luckily, a deputy was nearby, so she drove over to make sure everything was okay.
Aaliyah’s grandfather had no idea his granddaughter had placed the 911 call and was understandably shocked when Deputy Martha Lohnes showed up at his door.
Martha remembers, “she just comes running around and she’s like ‘HEY!’ And she has one pant leg on and the other pant leg is off.” Yes, little Aaliyah called the cops for… help getting dressed. The deputy got her pants on and then Aaliyah asked for help with her shoes, too.
Martha was positively delighted by the girl’s call for help.
“My heart went out to Aaliyah, because not too long ago, I was the little girl dialing 9-1-1 just so I could see police officers show up at my house,” she said. “I was so enamored by police officers as a kid.”
After Martha left, Aaliyah’s grandfather placed a call of his own — to her mother, who was away at work and therefore missed the whole debacle.
“My dad gave me a call and was just like, ‘Your daughter just called the police on me!'” she laughed. “Then he said Aaliyah wouldn’t let the cop leave.”
Since then, the two have kept in touch and continue to be adorable friends.
