Little girl saves mother

A little girl from Newton has become the most famous person in town. Frances Brown, who is starting school next year, called 999 when her mother, Lisa, fell down the stairs. The emergency services immediately sent an ambulance to her house.

‘She’s an amazing little girl!’ said a doctor. ‘She knew that she had to call 999 to speak to someone who could help. She gave her name and her address, and she described what the problem was. She said her mother had just got out of bed and had fallen down the stairs. She said that her mum was sleeping, but there was something wrong. She looked after her mum until help arrived.’

When the ambulance arrived at the Browns· house, they found out that Lisa, aged 30, is expecting her second child. The doctors kept Lisa in hospital for 24 hours to check that she was all right before allowing her to go home the next morning.

When Lisa found out what her daughter did she told friends and family. Then the local newspaper heard the story. Frances’s father, Liam, aged 32 and a teacher at the local school, said: ‘Frances’s quick thinking saved her mother’s life. Lisa is careful around the house, but accidents happen.’

Lisa is going to have a baby in two months, and she thinks this is why she fell down the stairs. ‘I’m so big now that I can’t see my feet!’ she said. ‘I can’t wait to give Frances a baby brother.’
