6-year old calls 911; dispatcher thinks it's a joke

They keep on showing this on CNN. I just love how the news story is just a rotation of the clip showing the little boy and one single tear falling down his cheek as he gazes off the screen mournfully.

I'm a horrible person for finding that even remotely amusing.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

1 in 4 calls in Detroit are prank calls.

If anyone heard the actual 911 call, it's pretty disturbing. The operator scolds him for playing around and says something along the lines of "I don't care! Get an adult on the phone or you'll be in serious trouble." As a kid, you're scared enough with everything going on and with a 911 dispatcher saying you'll get in trouble, it's probably terrifying.

The kid is probably tramatize for life. His family needs to up the lawsuit, with the death of his mother through negligence as well as emotional trauma to the child.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Why do people always think lawsuits help emotional trauma?

They don't, but that's the beauty of the America. You can sue someone and then fill in your empty hole of sorrow with an endless supply of cash. Or at least use that money to be able to afford a ridiculously expensive therapist when you get older. Because in case you haven't heard, money buys happiness.

Besides, what's the alternative. No matter what, the end result is what it is so how else is he going to reimbursed for what he went through and going to go through, having had his mother taken away from him for the rest of his life.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
