A 8-Year-Old Girl Calls 911 and Says, ‘It Was My Dad and His Friend… Please Help Me!’ β The Truth Brought Everyone to Tears
The truth leaves everyone with tears in their eyes.
Emergency dispatcher, Vanessa GΓ³mez, had answered thousands of calls in her 15 years at the Pinos Verdes County emergency center.
Most were predictable: heart attacks, car accidents, fallen trees.
But the call that came in at 2:17 on that Tuesday afternoon in September took her breath away.
β911. What is your emergency? βVanessa’s voice was calm and trained.
There was silence for 3 seconds.
Then a tiny voice appeared, trembling between whispers and sobs:
βIt was my dad and his friend. Please help me.
Vanessa straightened in her chair, fingers ready on the keyboard.
βSweetheart, are you okay? Can you tell me your name?
βMy name is Liliana. I’m 8 years old βthe girl replied with a broken voiceβ.
My tummy hurts so, so much. It’s big and it keeps growing.
In the background, Vanessa could hear Mexican cartoons playing on the television.
No adult voices, no noise.
βLiliana, where are your parents now?
βMom is asleep because her body is fighting her again. Dad is at work. βshe whimperedβ.
I think what they gave me made me sick.
Vanessa motioned to her supervisor while keeping her voice calm.
βWhat do you mean by that, Liliana? What did your dad and his friend give you?
βFood and water. But it was after they came that my tummy started to hurt horribly.
The girl’s breathing quickened.
βAnd now itβs all big and no one wants to take me to the doctor.
While sending Officer JosΓ© LΓ³pez to the tracked address, Vanessa kept the girl on the line.
βCan you look out your window, sweetheart? A police officer is going to help you. His name is Officer LΓ³pez and he’s very kind.
Through the phone, Vanessa heard footsteps and then a little sigh.
βThe patrol car is here. He’s going to cure my tummy.
βHe’s going to help you, Liliana. Stay with me on the phone and open the door when he knocks.
Officer LΓ³pez approached the modest one-story house on Maple Street. Watch: [in comment] – Made with AI
