7 Year Old 911 Call Audio and Video.  Imagine this – your seven (7) year old son locked in a bathroom calling 911 while gunman have you and your spouse held up at gunpoint. This is exactly what happened to one family recently in Los Angeles Count.

The dispatcher credits the boy with saving his family.  By calling 9-1-1 the 7 year old was able to get police out to the residence quickly, and once the authorities were on the way the robbers left.  They left empty handed because they wanted to get as far away from the home before police arrived.

Unfortunately, the criminals are still at large.  However, police are looking for them.

It’s said that the family’s door was unlocked. The robbers rang the doorbell to gain access to the home.

Had the boy not called the emergency number, the whole family could have been killed.

The audio of the 7 year old 911 call can be found here.

A video of the press conference where the little boy, name Carlos, came face to face with the dispatcher that helped him through the scary ordeal can be seen here.

Parents should make sure that their child knows that they need to call 911 in the event of an emergency and follow the instruction of the dispatcher.  This little boy saved his mom, dad, and little sister.
