dave submitted a story about how a 911 operator got a call from a 6-year-old and believed it to be a prank.

That's what happened when six-year-old Robert Turner called 911 when his mom passed-out. The Detroit boy's mother, 46-year-old Sherrill Turner, died February 20th. Robert says he called the operator to help.

Dispatcher: "Where's the grownups at?" Robert: (unintelligible) Dispatcher: "Huh? Let me speak to her before I send the police over there."

Robert says of the dispatcher on the phone, "I tried to tell them she wouldn't talk! I kept telling them - she wouldn't talk." Confused, traumatized and scared the operator was going to get him in trouble, Robert hung-up the phone and started playing around the house, thinking about his mom and hoping she'd wake up.

When police finally arrived - more than three hours later, they discovered Robert's mother had died. Robert's family plans on filing a lawsuit.

Shouldn't every 911 call be taken seriously regardless of the possibility it's a prank? If someone called in saying there was a killer in their house, would this guy be like, "Yeah, right! He's behind the curtain, look out! Hahaha, a killer...that's priceless. Call me when you have a serious problem."
