(Detroit, April 6, 2006,
11:00 P.M.) An investigation is underway in Detroit after a six-year-old boy
called 911 to get help for his mom, and the operator acted as if it were a
joke.

Detroit NBC Affiliate WDIV reports that six-year-old Robert Turner called 911 on February 20. He thought his mother 46-year-old Sherrill Turner hadpassed out. She was later found dead.911 tapes detail the call, where the boy tells a female operator that his mom had passed out. The operator demands t0 speak to an adult before sending police.

The boy eventually hung up and called back a short time later. This time the same operator warns the boy that he could get in trouble for making a prank call to 911. Taylor says police didn't arrive until three hours later and found his mother dead.
The family is now pursuing a lawsuit. Detroit police are investigating and say they are not sure about what, if any, disciplinary will be taken against the 911 operator.

There is no reason this women should keep her job. A six year-old, calling for help, is treated poorly and his mom dies. And police say they don't know if the operator will face any disciplinary action?
