AUDIO: 7 Year Old Calls 911 And Saves Family!

A 7-year-old boy who called 911 from a locked bathroom while armed robbers threatened his parents hugged and high-fived on Wednesday the sheriff’s dispatcher who took his call. The boy, identified only as Carlos, told reporters at a news conference that he remained calm during the ordeal because his mother used to make him practice dialing 911 in case of emergencies. How did his mother say he did? “Excellent!” the second grader said. Carlos, sporting a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Dept. baseball cap, gave a hug to dispatcher Monique Patino, who called the boy “my little hero.” “I said he was very brave and I’m very proud of what he did,” Patino said, occasionally dabbing tears from her cheek. The assailants held the parents at gunpoint Tuesday while the boy and his 6-year-old sister hid in a bathroom. Carlos told Patino breathlessly that there was “some guy who’s going to kill my mom and dad” and begged authorities to “bring cops. A lot of them! … And bring soldiers, too.” About 90 seconds into the call, his sister starts screaming as someone apparently breaks into the bathroom. The line stays connected, and a distraught-sounding Patino can be heard telling colleagues what she’d heard.
