I love the 20 posts/page thing. Praise Synth.

Officials said the 911 operator will be disciplined, but because of her years of service she will not be fired.

What the hell? That's just stupid, seriously stupid. Her ass should be fired ASAP.

I also find it odd that she had years on the service but she considered this call to be a phrank. Usually people like that are inexperienced and have very little years behind them.

Re: 911 Call Treated as Prank

When i was little my cousin's phone number started with 916, so i would sometimes accidently call 911 and hang up in a panic, and the cops would come to our door, lol

But yeah this is sickening, she should be fired regardless of her years of service

I feel bad for the kid. If I was the operator, I would kill myself right now... Seriously.

She made a mistake.

Unfortunately, regardless of your line of work, mistakes happen.

This is a tragic event, but it is certainly not a reason to condemn this woman, especially when we don't have any details on the content of the call itself.

Completly sucks for the kid, I feel for him. I would take a cops gun and shoot the operator to be honest.

Re: 911 Call Treated as Prank

I think we can all agree here that the problem solely lies in the fact that the operator was a woman.

Mistake my ass. More like negligence.

The bottom line is that she's supposed to treat every 911 call as if it were real. It's not in her authority to pick and chose between what is real and what isn't.

Re: 911 Call Treated as Prank

That's horrible.

We do community service here in my school and we work with 911 operators.
We were taught how kids/adult make prank calls and how we still need to send the police/ambulance over.
We never got a prank 911 call.

Ps. It's pretty cool you get 6 months of training and actually answer calls of the operators and get to be driven in the ambulance+ helping the paramedics.

Re: 911 Call Treated as Prank

Yeah, I saw this on the news. Showed the call and everything, it was horrible. I'm actually doing a research paper on Fahrenheit 411 and I'm making the issue about people mistreating their responsibilities as an employee of an important position. I'm using this story as a main source. It's not the best issue and I don't have much to back it up though. It's just so sad....Oh I meant the death of course.

Re: 911 Call Treated as Prank

Thats horrible.

When i was younger My friend was being a total muppet and jumped through an abandoned retirement home window. He was 14, drunk and a twat. Anyway i called the operater to be fowarded to the hospital. She thought i was pulling a prank. Luckily after about 10 minutes of pleading i manged to convince her. Pranking the police and so on isnt funny at all. My friend had to endure 10 minutes more pain and blood loss and whats worse is that other kid lost his mum. If so many little twats didnt cry wolf then that poor boys mum would be alright.

Re: 911 Call Treated as Prank

Reminds me of the time I was in the Nakatomi Plaza when it was taken over by high-tech German thieves. After procuring a SMG, radio, and detonators, I managed to make my way up to the roof, where I placed a call to the police station on the radio, and...

ME: I need to report a hostage situation at the Nakatomi Plaza
LADY: Sir, this channel is reserved for emergencies only.
ME: NO ****, LADY! DO I SOUND LIKE I'M ORDERING A ****ING PIZZA?!

Needless to say, they sent a solitary cop-car over.
