Hello everyone,
Welcome to week thirteen of the blogs. Have a awesome weekend!!
SOUTH PASADENA, CA --
The quick thinking of a nine-year-old South Pasadena boy helped save his three-year-old sister's life when she was choking on a grape.The boy and the paramedics who responded to his 911 call were honored at a news conference on Thursday. The incident was used as a lesson on choking hazards. Yaleona Santos' snack time became a life-threatening emergency as a grape slipped down her trachea.
Question: Do you think younger children nowadays are more experience in using 911?
Why our why not?
http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/story?section=news/national_world&id=9431943
I think it really depends on the child's cultural background. For example if the child were to be Caucasian from a well of family, then they would have no problem contacting the police. But if someone from a minority group needed help from police officials then they'd be more hesitant to contact them. Although they'd be more hesitant I think they would still call the cops if it was a real emergency. So overeall I do think that nowadays, younger children are more experienced in using 911.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard about how a cultural background can help save someone's life. As you say a caucasian will have a easier way to contact the authorities is not all true. We have caucasian people that sit in bad poverty also and dont even like the authorities. We also have religious beliefs that can tie into separating each other. I do agree on how children know how to use 911.
DeleteI do see where your coming from with the cultural background thing . Alot of people in minority group probably would think calling over choking on a grape can be thought of a joke . But it shouldn't have to be looked at it by that way .
DeleteI do not think it depends on the children cultural background. It all depends how much the parents teach the children about safety.
DeleteI do not think it depends on the child's background. We should teach our children about how to call 9-1-1 , but we as well need to let them know that's only if something bad was to happen .
DeleteI disagree with you I don’t believe it has nothing to do with the children’s background. I believe parents should teach their children how to call 911 for an emergency no matter what type of child it is.
DeleteI totally disagree. I don’t really think the child’s background really matters on contacting the police. I think it depends if the children’s parents taught them how to contact 911. But the children now a days seem to be learning how to use technology pretty fast so it shouldn’t be a problem for them to contact 911.
DeleteI totally understand what you’re trying to say. You didn’t mean to put the race thing out there but you actually meant to say that it really depends on the child’s economic status. There are poor and rich people out there from all kinds of races. There is poor African Americans, Caucasian, and Hispanic, as well as there is rich African Americans, Caucasian, and Hispanic. So there income status does make a difference on if the child would be able to reach the technology fast enough or even at all to make a 911 call.
DeleteI personally don't believe that their cultural background has anything to do with being able to call 911. I don't agree with you at all because it depends if they even know how to dial 911.
DeleteI don't think that a childs ethnic background has anything to do with learning how to call the police especially at a young age. I think it depends on how the parents of the child raised them and if they taught the child to call the police in case of an emergency.
DeleteI most likely disagree with you with you; I believe your statement was very irrelevant to this topic. Children do not need a background check in order to know or call 911. A child’s ethnic does not matter a good parent will teach their children how to call for help to 911, however it is not required so many parents do not care and don’t even bother to think about teaching their children
DeleteI agree with you Erika. It doesn't matter where the child comes from or where they live. Any parent that desires to keep their children safe will teach them to do the right thing. I know I would teach to my children how to use 911 if a burglar was ever trying to break in or even something as simple as choking on a grape.
DeleteI do believe that children are getting more experience in using 911. We do have problems with younger children. We are seeing children getting lost and dont know their parents name. We should teach our younger generation to learn what to do in case of an emergency. So yes I do believe that younger children know how to call 911. We all teach them how to be safe and how to learn to use the phone.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree . We should teach our children about how to call 9-1-1 , but we as well need to let them know that's only if something bad was to happen . Children now in days use phones way better than adults . It is terrible that kids Harley know what to do if they were to get lost .
DeleteYes, I agree the younger generation is more experienced with calling 911. As a reply to your comment on my main post, I'd like to say that I didn't mean it that way. I didn't mean to be stereotypical, because I know there are poor white people. I just meant that as an example. It's just that sometomes children learn to fear cops because they see that their parents hide from them.
DeleteI agree with you Crystal, we should teach our children what to do in case of an emergency only if it’s an emergency because children are starting to use electronic, but when incident occur they will not know what to do so is best to teach them how to call 911 for an emergency. Also I agree if they get lost and don’t know where their parents at or what’s their number is best to teach them who can they contact to.
DeleteI strongly agree with you Crystal Charles. We should teach our younger generation what to do in case of an emergency. We should explain to them from an emergency and non emergency. That way they will know the right time to call 911. They could be in a situation where they don’t know what to do and this is why it’s important to explain to them about calling 911 for an emergency.
DeleteI agree with you Crystal, children should be taught at a young age to use a phone. This will be very beneficial for the child.
DeleteYou are so right Crystal, crimes are getting tough out there and children needs to learn to use communication for 911 calls, also the parents should teach their children to know which is a emergency and what is not an emergency. These teachings to children can really help families become more safe.
DeleteI agree with you crystal.Children are having more experience on contacting 911. And it does keep them safe
DeleteI strongly agree with you Crystal. Children need to be taught and educated about how to dial 911. Some parents have been doing a good job in teaching them what it is and how to use it, however, other parents have just neglected their children so they are ignorant.

ReplyDeleteJuanita,
ReplyDeleteThanks for interjecting your perspective and you are right; the children in our society are definitely acclimated as it relates to 911 and the reason for this service. Nonetheless, smaller children know the consequences if they prank call 911, so most of the calls are typically warranted due to an emergency.
Additionally, Juanita thanks for being the first of many to respond to the blog fir this week.
I'm not really surprised that the young boy knew what to do . kids now in days know what to do .so The fact that he called 9-1-1 was great . We as humans have grown . Each generation gets more advanced then what the last generation was. My question is where we're the parents during this incident .why did he have to call and his parent I'm just glad that the boy as able to respond and know what to do . I'm sure his sister is thankful for him now .
ReplyDeleteWell maybe the parents had left them to have their snack time. While they went to finish something they needed to do. Scince they proably didn't think snack time would endanger their children's life. But your right if the boy had enough time to call the cops and save his sisters life, why hadn't the parents noticed?
DeleteI looked into what happened come to find out she was there when her child was choking. Jennifer Santos saw her three-year-old daughter hopping up and down in distress and then the toddler started fading in and out of consciousness. The mother didnt know what to do in that time frame. Now, her mother has learned that grapes and hot dogs are major choking hazards. She says she is going to take a first-aid class to learn more. I agree that the sister will be grateful to him.
DeleteI absolutely agree with you, Debeney. Each generation gets more and more advanced as the days go by. The mother or father should have been around their kids when this accident happened.
DeleteIn my perspective, I do believe children are getting more experience in calling 9-1-1. This was shocking that the little boy knew what to do and who to call. As humans we have gotten better with each other. Each generation gets more developed than the past generations. The question everyone is going to ask, "Where were their parents at this time?" I am very positive that his sister was grateful to have him around and saving her life.
ReplyDeleteI am also wondering where were the parents at when the incident took place. Also I do agree with you on how we get more developed with each generation. Plus it's not very surprising that the boy knew what to do with many dangerous things taking place in this day of society children need to know what to do when something occurs.
DeleteI agree with you Stephanie and how children are getting more experienced at calling 911 when the time is needed. Also, I also was wondering were the parents were at the time that all of this took place.
DeleteI agree this young boy out of the act of being afraid made the right decision. Yes1.young man calling 911 was very unusual but its not that uncommon to use 911. A lot of kids use 911 now a days but still this kid is a hero
DeleteI strongly agree, We should teach our younger generation what to do in case of an emergency. We should explain to them from an emergency and non emergency. That way they will know the right time to call 911. They could be in a situation where they don’t know what to do and this is why it’s important to explain to them about calling 911 for an emergency.
DeleteI do agree with you Stephanie. A lot of kids know how to use the internet, phones, and even tablets. But I am wondering where the parents of the kids are. Maybe if the parents were there they wouldn’t have to worry about little kids calling 911. It was a good thing that the little boy had the knowledge to dial 911 and be able to get help just in time for his sister. Something else could have happened, it could have been even worse than what it was.
DeleteI agree with you Stephanie. Kids are getting smarter by the years. And yes where were the parents in the first place.
DeleteI never thought about that question until you mentioned it. His sister should be grateful and his parents should be ashamed that they weren’t there while she was choking. And yes, it is a good thing that children are starting to get more developed into using technology in case something goes wrong. The little boy has very good knowledge.
DeleteThat’s the same question I asked myself, where were the kids parents? This just shows the miscarriage of some parents but their good parenting skills as well. The fact that the little boy knew what to do at that very moment was phenomenal. He saved his sister’s life and that forever will be remembered of course all thanks to the parents as well.
DeleteIn my mind children are more experience with calling 9-1-1 now than past generations were. As time passed parents realized that more crimes and accidents are occurring more often so they decided to teach their children at an early age on who to call and what to do when an incident occurs.
ReplyDeleteYes, as parents realize more crime and incidents are occurring they should start teaching their children who to call and what to do whenever there’s an emergency. It is best to teach them early age because we will never know when an incident occurs and how can they respond to it.
DeleteI agree with you Juancarlos, parents today must teach their children about these sort of things, so the kids know what to do when this is necessary. It is also good to teach them at a young age because their mind will take in any information that is thought to them.
DeleteYou took the words right out of my mouth. It makes perfect since to teach children how to respond to an accident.
DeleteI agree with Juancarlos that the children need to know how to contact the authorities with so much dander around. It should also be used for emergencies only. It's up to the parents to show then that it's only for emergencies only and to never play around with the line.
DeleteI believe young children are getting experience for calling 911 nowadays. The reason they experience 911 is because some parents teach their children when to call 911 in case of an emergency. It was a good think that the nine year old boy calls 911 to save her sister from shocking on a grape. Nowadays is important to teach our children how to use the phone for an emergency and know what to do when incident occur.
ReplyDeleteI agree, many parents do teach their children about dialing 911 in case of an emergency. Children nowadays are really experienced with the use of technology so they are more advanced than the rest of us. The nine year old made the right choice which saved his sister.
DeleteI strongly agree with you Crystal Alcaraz. Parents are teaching their children about calling 911 when there is an emergency. They explaining to children when is the right time to call 911 and when something is a non emergency. That way the children will understand that calling 911 is no joke and not a game. The nine year old boy did good by calling 911, he saved his little sister from chocking on a grape.
DeleteI strongly agree with Crystal, most children have experience on calling 911 because of their parents teaching them about what to do if there were an emergency.
DeleteI completely agree with you, there are more parents in our society that are teaching their children about 911. Kids are now becoming more aware of the emergency number in case of an emergency. It is very important that parents continue to raise the awareness of 911 as well as what to do in an emergency.
DeleteI think that children today are more experience with 911 today. This is because today there is a lot of things that kids take in, and they learn. Today's social media is almost on the spot with everything, and kids have access to tons of information. This is why I think that kids are more experience with communicating, through many ways, such as this, like through the phone. Also they are able to call 911 because as I stated earlier they learn a lot of information that can help them in the future with situations like this.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteI agree, children would want to help especially if someone is in trouble. If there were an emergency the child would be able to call 911 and get the help that you need. These children are exposed to all the social media. They know so many things and they learn every day by watching television. They have a lot of knowledge about what to do in case of an emergency.
DeleteI agree with you, Cesar, children have access to social media and have experience with communicating. So if someone were in need for help, the children would have the resources to communicate with 9-1-1. Children learn new information dealing with incidents like this.
DeleteI agree with you cesar, nowadays these kids have more access to communication recources than they did before and they are exposed and risk them selves to much more things today.
DeleteI think that kids these see more 911 calls in their lifes.The social media puts out stories that kids save other peoples life.Kids use the technology they have to an advantage in this situation.They use what they see to call 911 in this circumstances saving their sibling life.We learn that kids can save a life in the world.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree ! kids now have the advantage of technology other dint have back then and they use it such in cases like so , children mock what most of the time they see either on Tv or somewhere else to which later they use it in circumstances or situations they are in.
DeleteI strongly agree with you. Parents are teaching their children about calling 911 when there is an emergency. They are explaining to children when the right time to call 911 is and when something is a non-emergency. That way the children will understand that calling 911 is no joke and not a game. The nine year old boy did well by calling 911; he saved his little sister from chocking on a grape.
DeleteI believe that children nowadays are more experience using cellphones or computers. I think little children have the capability to dial 911 for an emergency. The other thing is how there are many crimes and other things going on that they learn how to call 911.The young boy did a good example why young children need to learn more about 911.
DeleteI agree, jaun. If parents teach their children how to use 911 correctly then alot more lives can be saved. This could help th world out tons.
DeleteI believe that children nowadays are more experienced with technology, so they’re capable of dialing 911. Their knowledge is ten times greater than ours because they already know how to work a tablet and some adults do not. This nine year old was able to save his sister without panicking that was really brave of him. Young children should be taught how to react and what to do in case of an emergency. By the looks of it, they already know. I think if it was any other person they would have panicked first then reacted. When the children are old enough their parents teach them about 911 and when they should call the authorities. By then they know right from wrong, so they are really experienced.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree about children are more advanced in technology so they are more capable of calling 911.
DeleteI agree with you Kimberly. Children are becoming more advanced in technology. For these type of things it's good. When things like this happen people don't really think they panic.
DeleteI agree with you Kimberly. The reason why is because many children’s are experienced with technology. Also, they see how many things happen every day everywhere in the world, which makes them understand on call 911 in bad situations.
DeleteI agree with you one hundred percent. Children do know how to use technology a lot more efficiently then we did at that age due to the increase of it. The world is also more dangerous now so we have to prepare the kids in anyways we can so in case an emergency were to happen.
DeleteIn my perspective, I do believe that children nowadays are more experienced in using 911. It is a good thing that children are more experienced with 911 because they can be in a situation where their mother or father are hurt and aren’t able to reach nor call 911. These children have learned in school about calling 911 for an emergency and they are taught the difference between what’s an emergency and a non emergency. It's a good thing the boy knew to call 911, he saved his little sister's life.
ReplyDeleteI strongly agree with you, Marisol, children might be in a terrible incident and should know what to do and who to call. I also agree that schools have taught younger kids the difference between a non-emergency and would know what to do if that ever happens.
DeleteI agree with you, many children have also been taught when to make an emergency call in school. Children should be aware of what to do in a dangerous or an emergency situation. Teaching kids about 911 can help reduce crime in our society and it can also save many lives.
DeleteThis young man calling 911 was an amazing thing to save his sister. Alot of kids don't know how to use 911 alot of parents should really teach their kids how to use 911. In case of an emergency but this young man is once again is a hero this show and displays courage and heart. There has been a lot of people saying that if your white your more likely to know how to use 911 but that's not the case you can be Mexican black any race and be able to use 911 just all depends on how you were brought up.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Joe this young boy is an amazing boy for saving his sister. If it was you Joe choking I wouldn't call 911 I would of call the Army,Navy,Air Force,Marines or the president to help me out. I would do anything to save your life Joe your an important person I would done CPR on you.
DeleteI agree that your ethnicity plays no role in your capability to handle any situation. How a child is brought up will have profound effects on the individuals adulthood. Therefore, it is the parents' job to raise a responsible kid.
DeleteI agree with you Joe, ethnicity has nothing to do with a child being able to use a phone to call for 911. The young boy is amazing for saving his little sisters life when some people can't even pick up a phone. But Hugo on the other hand seems rather obsessed if I were you I would watch my back.
DeleteThe little boy who called 911 was extrodinary ,because a young man as himself picked up the phone and called the ambulance and saved his sisters life. They way society is now a days the smaller children learned how to use all the technology that we have now that some adults have a difficultly using. So yes i do think that children are experinced using 911.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you it was extrordinary on how the little boy knew what to do and kept his conposure at the time. Also you are right now adays children have a better understanding with technology than most adults so it would only be natural to teach then on what to do when an incident occurs.
DeleteI agree with you ,Kristina. As time goes by and technology evolves the new generation is becoming more alert on how to use things in a way others couldn't their age. But children need to be thought how and in what situations can 911 be used.
DeleteI agree because I believe the children should be experienced and exposed at using the technology that we now have be able to use it to our advantage.
DeleteI totally agree with you kristina. Technology has made a huge impact on children. Many kids learn safety prcedures because of games or television.
DeleteI agree with you Kristina, technology has help many children in this generation in using it. Children are being more experienced in using it. Children are learning more safety because of this.
DeleteI agreee, the new generations are more experienced in using the latest technology but the old generations lacks capabilities in using the latest technology.
DeleteI agree with you Kristina, children are the most vulnerable because they are the most trusting. They think that because their parents are caring and nice that every other aldult will be that way, and that’s how they get abducted and raped. Most of the times these crimes are carried out by people the children know.
DeleteI am not surprised that the young boy saved his older sister by dialing 9-1-1. He did an amazing thing, he saw that his sister was choking so he did what anyone else would do. I do believe that as the generation grows with technology children are aware of dialing
ReplyDelete9-1-1 if there is an emergency. I believe it is necessary to teach our children these emergency procedures because what if were in a predicament with a child and no one else is around.. what now?
I am also curious to know where were the parents when this occurred? Furthermore, the little boy did an amazing job saving his older sister's life because of him she is now alive. This is a beautiful story to hear, it seems as children are becoming the heroes now a days.
I personally think that yes and no. Yes, because more and more cases of children contacting 911 for emergencies are becoming more frequent and some get honors for it and so on. Now to my second respond which is "No”, is because as time goes by the new generation is becoming more advance and technology is becoming a distraction to children which means some kids won’t even bother to pay attention on how to use a phone to contact 911 or to what exactly can he or she call for .
ReplyDeleteI agree, it looks like children are been awarded for calling 911 and saving peoples lives. But the question is. Where are the parents? Why did they leave them alone in the first place?
DeleteI do not agree with julia at all,because its good for kids to know how to use technology that way when something like this in any situation happens its good that the children know how to call for help. The most important question is where were the parents at during the whole situation.
DeleteI highly agree with Debeney and Marisol on there view of the advance in technology that children are enduring in the new generation. In further looking into the case the mother panicked when she seen her daughter choking so in act of nervousness she was not aware of what to do next. That is when the younger brother stepped in and not only help his sister but reassure his mother that help is on the way and everything is going to be fine.

DeleteI totally agree with you Alexis. Children have learn a lot from technology. Many programs at school have also made an impact on kids pertaining emergency dials.Our generation has develop so much knowlege from technology advancements.
DeleteI honestly most c hilderen in this generation are more cautious about things & know to dial 911 for help. Mostly because of all the issues that are going on parents teach their c hilderen to call 911 for any bad situation. So yes c hilderen do have more expierence on calling 911.
ReplyDeleteIdo believe the younger children nowadays are better at using 911. I do believe this because we teach them ourselves as their guardians and at school. I think every child that has access to a phone must know how to use a phone for emergency purposes.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Jair, children nowadays are better at using 911. Yes, children's guardians are now teaching their kids. And yes, every child that has a phone should know how to use it for emergency purposes.
DeleteYes, I believe younger children are more experienced in using 911. Many schools have a variety of programs in which kids learn about safety and emergency dials. Also the advanced in thecnology and other methods of media imteraction have caused a great impact in children's quick response to an emergency. Children are also more open up to violence on television and in some programs or movies a reaction to the person being attacked is to dial 911. Many children have expanded their knowledge pertaining safety procedures such as the little boy who became a hero for saving his baby sister.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you flor because its true most of the schools are not teaching kids how to be safer. Hence, this is probably why kids are now smarter in the way that they use technology. Thats why kids are more aware of techniques that they can use to be safer such as 911.
DeleteThe young boy did a good thing calling 911 to help his sister. I believe that this generation of children are more experience in using 911. Children are now using more teleology and are learning how to use it. This can help the society. So, yes I believe that children are more experience in using 911.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you Adrian today days children are more intelligence in technology than grown ups. It was very smart that the brother called 911 for some help not a lot of kids would do that.
DeleteI agree with you Adrian. The new generation of kids are getting smarter when it comes to technology. It's a good thing the brother knew how to use a phone. The sister was lucky her brother there to help her.
DeleteAdrian is so right the boy did do a good thing by calling 911and help save his sister life. Our generation of childeren specially the younger kids is good to know how to use all the new top technology we have that way in an circumstances we have a way to get help and get injured people to doctors or even hospitals.
DeleteYes, I believe that younger children this day are more experienced in using 911. Mostly all the children knows how to use today's phone and there's programs were they teach kids how to use the phone to call 911. Childrens are getting smarter and smarter by the year that past.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Hugo. Children are getting more familiar with technology. Most children know more about technology than adults. We just need to teach the children how to call the emergency number, which is 911.
DeleteI agree with you Hugo. Children are becoming smarter and smarter with this technology stuff. It's a very good thing because most parents when they go through situations like this they panic and do not know what to do. So it is important to teach children what to do when things like this happen.
DeleteI agree with you. Kids are becoming more intelligent when it comes to using technology. It's also very important to show kids how to handle a situation like this at an early age.
DeleteI agree with you Hugo. Children are becoming smarter and smarter with this technology stuff. That’s why is also very important to show kids how to handle a situation like this at an early age.
DeleteI agree with you Hugo, kids are getting more experienced and intelligent because of the programs that are available for them.
DeleteI do believe that children are getting more experienced with phones. . Children nowadays, are getting better at using technology. Young children easily know how to use a smartphone. The problem is that many young children don't know the emergency number. We should attempt to teach our children more about contacting the emergency number and by doing that we could save a life.
ReplyDeleteYes i do agree i think children knowing to dial 911 is a great thing. Now in days children knowing the power of technology is for the best.
DeleteI surely agree with you José, I do believe that children are getting more experienced with phones. . Children nowadays are getting better at using technology.
DeleteChildren are becoming more experienced when it comes to using 911 calls. Kids nowadays are learning to use technology at such a young age. I'm not suprised that a nine year old kid knows how to use a phone. In fact, parents should teach their children to use 911 for emergencys.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you because kids are learning so much at a faster rate then us the way the younger kids are using technology is impressive. Therefore without a doubt the way that the nine year old saved his sister is amazing.
DeleteI agree with you that a children now a days know how to use 911 because of technology.
DeleteAfter reading the article it is pretty clear to me that our generation is well equipped and very familiar with today's technology. It is not a surprise to me that little children have the capability to call and handle a 911 call while the paramedics arrive at the seen. It also helps that technology allows for us to see adds anywhere, anytime promoting safety procedures.
ReplyDeleteI do believe that children are becoming more experienced in what to do when an incident like this happens.It is a really good thing because sometimes when something like this happens the paramedics don't come in time and tragedies can happen. Teaching a child at an adequate age to know what to do when things like this happen is something good for them.
ReplyDeleteI believe that kids are either more aware of how to dial 911 or their parents are letting them know of safety, if that's the case then the parents are doing a good job. The way that the young boy came to the rescue by dialing 911 lets everyone know that even tho he was a nine year old he was able to follow instructions and save his sister. Therefore i believe that yea kids are aware of dialing 911 when needed and are more advance than us older generation.
ReplyDeleteI'm very surprise the 9 year old kid knew the right thing to do. Other children wouldn't have responded as fast and smart like he did. But then again kids now a days are very smart when it comes to technology. Parents should teach their kids when to call 911 for help and when not to. Some kids might just be playing around and that's nothing to play around with, they should also know that.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, as well. These children are very smart when it comes to technology. These parents should also help teach their children to do the right thing and learn how to call 911 for help.
DeleteYou're right about parents taking on the responsibility to teach their children how to properly handle 911 calls. Not all kids might behave such as that responsible individual.
DeleteI agree with you. Parents should take the time to show their kids how to properly handle 9-1-1 calls.
DeleteI believe that children are experience with calling 911 like they should. Parents need to teach children to use the technology of communication because who knows when both parents are in danger and the child doesn't know what to do, so it is pretty much mandatory for them to know how to use 911 calls for emergency. The 9 year old kid made a good example of why children should learn. That being said, children are indeed becoming more experience with 911 calls.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about the parents should be teaching their children how to use the technology of communication. If they do, the children can be more of a help. Since some parents let their young children have phones and other technology at a young age, they should teach them.
DeleteHonestly, I do think that children are becoming more experienced with calling the 911 dispatchers. Our generation are becoming smarter and a bit wiser, as well. When incidents happen like this, the young children are taking caution to do the right thing and become someones hero. These children are learning how to use phones and other technology objects, which is not a bad thing.
ReplyDeleteI agree that younger kids now in days are very more experienced in handling 911 calls. Because of the constant exposure to social media and current events, they are not so sheltered, and can recognize danger a lot easier. Maybe so much exposure is negative, but being able to handle situations such as that is definitely a positive effect.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Mariajose, Kids now of days are more experienced in handling 911 calls. Kids can recognize danger easier so should be able to call for help.
DeleteI do believe that children are getting more experience in using 911. We do have problems with younger children. We are seeing children getting lost and dont know their parents name. We should teach our younger generation to learn what to do in case of an emergency. So yes I do believe that younger children know how to call 911. We all teach them how to be safe and how to learn to use the phone.
ReplyDeletei agree with you that younger children should be thought how to use 911 in case of an emergency. i do not believe that childrenn are experienced with 911.
DeleteI agree, Denise. It would be good idea for us to teach young children how to use 911, the resposible way. This can help alot because sometimes there might not be an adult around like this situation.
DeleteMost defintley , I do agree that kids now in days are more experienced In handling or dealing with emergencies. With so much danger going on kids need to know how to contact the authorites. This will help them for future refrences as well. However, they are kids and kids like to play around with these kind of things. Unless we or the parents/guardians of them teach them its for emergency use only.
ReplyDeleteI agree with erika that the children need to know how to contact the authorities with so much dander around. It should also be used for emergencies only. It's up to the parents to show then that it's only for emergencies only and to never play around with the line.
DeleteChildren are more getting more experienced when it comes to contacting 9-1-1. Some parents chose to show their kids how to dial 9-1-1 just in case if there is ever an emergency. Our generation is getting smarter nd wiser and more prepared to handle situations that may approach them. It is a good thing that kids are getting more affiliated with this kind of knowledge.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Diana because the children are getting wiser and they do need to be informed about this information to save their life or of others. I also agree that its a good thinh that the children are getting affiliated with this knowledge.
DeleteI agree with you, because the children are getting wiser and they do need to be informed about this information to save their life or of others. I also agree that it is a good thing that the children are getting affiliated with this knowledge. It is important that they know a thing or two about emergency calling. Many people do not think that the younger generation is eligible for these types of problems caused.
DeleteI believe that kids now a days do know a lot about the 911 emergency dial and thats a very good thing. Children are the most vulnerable just like the elderly and if they learn to dial 911 they can probably save their life and the life of others. So yes children should know about 911. They are the future of our country and we need to show them to be safe and dial 911 in an emergency
ReplyDeleteI agree, children are the most vulnerable because they are the most trusting. They think that because their parents are caring and nice that every other aldult will be that way, and that’s how they get abducted and raped. Most of the times these crimes are carried out by people the children know.
DeleteI agree , children are familiar with all this technology and with it it showed they are the future of our country
DeleteI believe that young children have become more used to 911 as an emergency number. Today in our society there are many parents that give their child a phone at a young age. Children are even taught in school that the emergency number should be called in an emergency. Hence, children have been introduced to 911 at a young age and are calling the emergency number more often.
ReplyDeleteI agree, I also believe that children in this day and age know that the 911 number is for emergencies only. Since the children are being taught now about the 911 number there is no need to prank call 911. Now children can get out of that stage where they think that every one is going to be like their parents, because in this geneation anyhing can happen.
Deletei do believe that younger children are more knowlegable about 911 because they are being taught more because of all the crimes that are constantly increasing and transpiring. parents are starting to become more involved with teaching their younger kids about safety. also, teachers are becoming involved and younger kids are learning about stranger danger and other security tactics to keep them safe. younger kids are also learning about the seriousnees of dialing 911 and how making false calls can effect them and someone else.
ReplyDeleteI agree with shawnise, due to the constant crime that is happening. We have to make sure our children are being more aware of whats out their. So they are able to protect themselves when their parent's aren't around .
DeleteI believe that there are some kids that are experienced with 911, but I do not believe that a lot of kids know how to use 911. I believe that there should be some classes for young children so they can learn how to use 911.
ReplyDeleteI also agree with you Jose because there should be classes to teach kids how to dial 911 for emergencies. I know that in my elementary school people would go talk to us and show us when it was appropriate to dial 911. But yes there should be classes because maybe there isn’t classes like the ones we would take in elementary school.
DeleteI believe that some children do know how to call 911 but some don't. Parents should teach their kids how to call 911 just incase if something happens to one of them or one of their family members.
ReplyDeleteYes Francisco some kids do know how to call 911 but the ones who don’t should learn immediately. It’s important for the kids to know how to call 911 because they can help someone out or save a life like this young boy did to his sister.
DeleteI believe that some children are experienced with 911. The reason why is because many parents give their children phones in a young age. The other thing is how there are many crimes and other things going on that they learn how to call 911.The young boy did a good example why young children need to learn more about 911.
ReplyDeleteI also agree with Yessica, many of these little children know how to work a phone. They know who their calling, and I believed that's because they watch and learn from the parents.
DeleteI also agree with yessica because kids in this generation know more about law enforcement and emergency numbers so they know what to do when the time comes or when someone is in danger
DeleteI also agree with you, parents give young children phones in case of an emergency , for exapmle this one that just happen. The boy had easy acess to call 911 and he saved her sister.
DeleteYes,I believe children are way more experienced with 911, and also how to respond in these types of situations. Now that we have a more advanced generation when it comes to technology. We are able to teach children more about how to deal with fire hazards ,and other emergency's. I also remember fire men and police officers coming to my school teaching us what to do in case of a 911 emergency. So honestly it all depends on the officers and firemen that come to these schools and teach the children for their own safety, but for the most part the parents inform them as well.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you because the generations are becoming more aware of the situations and know what to do when they are caught up in one.
DeleteI agree with you because nowdays we have younger children with very well technolgy experience,sometimes way better experience then older people.
DeleteI believe that yes kids are becoming more experienced in using the emergency number 911 because as tgey are being brought up parents are starting to give children cell phones at young ages and one of the first numbers they learn is the emergency one just in case. Also many kids witness crimes and learn to use the number and become more experienced.
ReplyDeleteI do believe that children nowadays are more experienced with technology, so they’re capable of dialing 911. Their knowledge is ten times greater than ours because they already know how to work a tablet and some adults do not even when it comes to cell phones. Young children should be taught how to react and what to do in case of an emergency. By the looks of it, they already know. I think if it was any other person they would have panicked first then reacted. When the children are old enough their parents teach them about 911 and when they should call the authorities. By then they know right from wrong, so they are really experienced.
ReplyDeleteI frankly believe young children are getting experience for calling 911 nowadays. The reason they experience 911 is because some parents teach their children when to call 911 in case of an emergency. It was a good think that the nine year old boy calls 911 to save her sister from shocking on a grape. Nowadays is important to teach our children how to use the phone for an emergency and know what to do when incident occur.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, Miguel. I also believe that parents teach and should teach their children to call 911 in case of an emergency. If this occurs then kids will become more experienced. As a result, children will be saving lives as this little boy saved his sister.
DeleteI believe that children nowdays are more experience with technology such as phones,computer,etc. I think young children nowdays are caple of dialing 911, since they have a little experience to dial 911. In some part of the state we have police officers go to elementries showing young kids how to use 911 calls in case of an emergency. So i think young kids are now more experince for 911 emergencies.
ReplyDeleteI do believe children are getting more experience in calling 911. This was shocking that the little boy knew what to do and who to call. Many older people do not know how to use many of the technology we have today .As humans we have gotten better with each other. Each generation gets more developed than the past generations. The question everyone is going to ask, "Where were their parents at this time?" I am very positive that his sister was grateful to have him around and saving her life.
ReplyDeletei believe that the younger generation know how to use 911. because kids use more and more technology everyday. today there more and more technology being used by kids today.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Chris Gonzalez, the younger generation are becoming more involved with the technology now these days. They also are being more today more than ever. If only you wrote a little more that I can also interact with. Just know we need to teach the younger generation how to do the right thing so when they get older it's a habit.
DeleteI do believe that the younger generation are beginning to know how to use 911 for an emergency. This is not the first time a child has called 911 for an emergency and became a hero out of it. Due to all the upgraded technology the younger generation are becoming more fond of how everything works. If there were more children who are taught to use 911 for an emergency than we will already be bringing up a better generation. In fact, we have adults who still doesn't know what 911 means and the fact that this little boy knew who to call and know exactly what to do is amazing.
ReplyDeleteOur generation also has a lot of technology, so it's not like they don't know how to use it. If it comes down to where they need to call the police for emergancy then they are capable of doing that.
DeleteI believe that the children are getting more comfortable with dialing 911 for emergencies. This generation is gaining more technology therefore, children are getting smarter and smarter. And they are gaining more experience because parents also teach them to do so. I believe children are getting more used to dialing 911 in case of emergencies.
ReplyDeleteI agree Jocelyn, everyone should teach little kids how to and when they shall call 911. With the technology used today it's easier cause on cell phones they have an emergency button they use to dial 911.
DeleteI honestly most c hilderen in this generation are more cautious about things & know to dial 911 for help. Mostly because of all the issues that are going on parents teach their childeren to call 911 for any bad situation. Also, in elementry school many schools teach the kids how to dial and when to dial for 911. So yes childeren do have more expierence on calling 911 and they know that when they do its not a joke its serious.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what you say 100%. Schools should start kids at that age and teach them the importance of using 911
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI do think that kids now and days are really more experienced than children back then because now we have more use with technology, and the kids are smart they look at the adults on what they do and how they use the cell phones and they learn from it, It is learned as time goes. I’m not saying its bad because think about it if that kid hadn’t called 911 his sister could of probably been dead or in serious conditions in the hospital, 911 can tell you what to do in situations like this even if they are not physically their. It is good to teach our kids about safety to warn them that bad things can occur when you least expected and that they have to be prepared and know how to react instead of not knowing what to do our generation is very experienced due to the timing.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, Angelica. I also believe kids are more experienced because of technology and because they look up to adults and learn from them. It is good that we teach our kids about safety and what to do if a situation were to happen unexpectedly. Our generation has become faster and smarter.
DeleteYes, I do believe children are more experienced in using 911 now. If this little boy was smart enough to pick up the phone and dial 911 it means we're doing something right. We have taught and are teaching children from a very young age what to do in case of an emergency. Children have picked up a lot of strategies due to technology, books, and school. However, we should keep passing our message along so more kids know what to do and realize the importance of 911 and also how it shouldn't be taken as a game.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. Kids need to have the knowledge to use 911 in a clever way. Anything can happen, and they need to at least have the knowlege to use 911.
DeleteIn agreeing with you, we are doing something right. My parents tought me how to handle an emergency encountering. Children have developed their strategies from technology.
DeleteI believe that children are more experienced at using 911 now a days. The boy was smart enough to to call 911 in a moment of distress . He knew how to handle himself long enough to make the phone call to save her life. With that being said I do believe that children are experienced in using 911
ReplyDeleteThe boy was smart in calling 911. In the moment of distress, he had a mindset in calling 911 of a quick reaction. Knowing how to save her life in calling 911
DeleteYounger children should be more experience with using 911 because their schools should be teaching them in case of emergencies. Schools used to educate elementary kids with how to properly use 911 but so far it seems like they are not doing that anymore. Many kids aren’t that experienced because most households are using cell phones instead of house phones, so that means that children can’t really reach for them as easily. It’s surprising how the young child knew what to do so quickly. It looks like every generation seems to be getting smarter with using technology.
ReplyDeleteI like the point you brought up, because I know that there isn’t a house phone in my house. Also schools seem to not be teaching kids what to do in case of an emergency. I also agree with your statement about “generation seems to be getting smarter with using technology.” I happy that a simple call saved a life.
DeleteYes, I do believe younger kids have become more expeienced with using 911. This was a perfect example. Maybe its tv or commercials that are helping kids understand how to use 911. It came in handy and he was able to save his sister's life.
ReplyDeleteI believe that younger children nowadays are not more experienced but well informed about using the 911 emergency lines. Today, children are taught since the age of 3 to call 911 in case of any emergency. Parents even teach their kids the house escape routes in case of a fire or a burglary. However, this young boy knowing what to do and how to do it is very impressive. I’m astonished that the young boy was able to act in a helpful manner while others would expect him to not know what to do or panic during this moment of adrenaline rush. Watching his sister choke could’ve made him react the improper way but he manage to keep calm and do the right thing by calling 911.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Kharim. If it is an emergancy, kids know how to dial 911. It's easy to remember.
DeleteI agree with you Kharim. I remember as a kid in our elementary school many people would come over and show us what to do suring an emergency.This has help a lot because like in this case this little boy mannaged to save his sisters life.
DeleteMost small children nowadays have iPads, iPhones, all different new types of technology. It's not like how it used to be when you would play and run outside. Teen pregnancy has also gone up, so the kids really have to raise themselves in a way because mom and dad are still growing up too. So children do have more experience with 911 because if they need to use it, they are smart and know how to work technology so will do it.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, I do think children are more experienced with using 911. Children are very absorvant, so it also really depends on their parents. Not only that, but schools should be teaching them how to properly use 911.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you that not only parents should teach their kids about safety ,but also schools should be more precautious. It’s a good thing that they know what to do in case of an emergency.
DeleteChildren,in my opinion, are more experience with the use of 911. Reason being because maybe of the commercials as the children are watching of their shows. This type of cause helps the children give them a sign of a inconvenience going on. With that being said, the children will react to wanting to call 911.
ReplyDeleteMany children now days are being tough diffrent ways what to do during diffrent types of emergencys. This has had a positive impact on the people. Because in a worse case senerio even a little kid can call 911 for help.
DeleteI personally believe that children do know how to use 911, however they won't call them unless their parents tell them to. The first instinct of a child is to help their parents if they are in danger or hide from a threat. They do not think of calling the cops until an adult says to call them. I believe the children need to be reminded how to diall 911 and what to do whenever the operators answer so they won't waste their time. That will help ensure the safety of them as well as that who surrounds them.
ReplyDeleteI think that children are becoming more accustomed to violence and emergency situations that they know what to do when an emergency were to occur. Another thing is they have speakers that go to our schools now that explain to the children what they should do when an emergency were to happen.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteChildren always known that if in a problem 911 was one of the best choices that that is provide to help. Children are more into the knowledge of calling 911. Since pre-k I was taught to call 911 so that I will learn how to use the services. So it is a great thing that children can learn to call 911
ReplyDeleteI’m not surprised that the young boy saved his older sister by dialing 9-1-1. He did an amazing thing, he saw that his sister was choking so he did what anyone else would do. I do believe that as the generation grows with technology children are aware of dialing
ReplyDelete9-1-1 if there is an emergency. I believe it is necessary to teach our children these emergency procedures because what if were in a predicament with a child and no one else is around.
I am also curious to know where the parents were when this occurred. Furthermore, the little boy did an amazing job saving his older sister's life because of him she is now alive. This is a beautiful story to hear, it seems as children are becoming the heroes now a days.
I agree with you, I’m wondering where their parents were at. But this young child did do an amazing thing, by dialing 911 and saving his sisters life. He knew that he’s sister life depended on his reaction on in the next minute or so. I proud of him for saving a life
DeleteI think that it depends on how the child is raised or being raised. Also it depends on the school that he or she is attending because some schools teach you how to call 911. I think that we should teach our children how to make a 911 phone call because accidents like this can happen at any moment.
ReplyDeleteI agree we should have all children learn how to dail 911 and how to stay calm and tell the operator what's going on. I also like how some school do actually do teach them about 911.
DeleteYes children are being educated more and more in how to call 911 in an emergency. I like that they are doing this beacuse some times parents leave their kids alone. Even if its just for a minute anything can happen and if no one is there then its a problem. There are many stories about children being heros. Childrens need to be thought how to call the police it will save lifes.
ReplyDeleteI do believe now and days the children have learn more about 911 and what they should do when there is an emergency. Back in my day all i knew was if there was a fire or if someone got hurt to dial 911. Little kids now know to dial 911 only for emergencies and tell the operator what's going on and to stay calm.
ReplyDeleteI strongly believe that kids are more experienced now than back in the day since there are more programs in the school that teach kids. Because there was confusion on how the little kids were pressing the button they did use to call it 9-11 so now they call it 9-1-1. Making in it easy and effective.
ReplyDeletejose gonzalez 1A
ReplyDeleteI believe that kids now a days do know a lot about the 911 emergency dial and thats a very good thing. Children are the most vulnerable just like the elderly and if they learn to dial 911 they can probably save their life and the life of others. So yes children should know about 911. They are the future of our country and we need to show them to be safe and dial 911 in an emergency
II think children are more exposed to 911 uses because parents depend on older children to take care of their younger siblings. In a way children are also learning what to do in a situation like that. Also parents and teacher inform kids to call 911 in they are in a difficult situation. It’s very impressive that young children are able to know what to do in case of an emergency.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Vanessa , I also think that children are more exposed because of their parents ,but I think it’s actually a good thing so they can know what to do in case something happens.
DeleteI'm not really surprised that the young boy knew what to do. Kids now in days know what to do .so the fact that he called 911 was great. It was a good thing that the nine year old boy calls 911 to save her sister from shocking on a grape. Many children have expanded their knowledge pertaining safety procedures such as the little boy who became a hero for saving his baby sister. So yes I do think that children are experienced using 911.
ReplyDeletei agree with you abimael some kids are being more active with using 911 and are dialing it more often just because they think there in life threatining situations
DeleteI do believe that children have become more experienced with technology now. There are more programs now to help teach kids about safety, and how to call for help if there ever an any trouble.
ReplyDeletei agree with you steven more kids are experiencing more with thechnology as when we were kids we had little action figures or puzzles now they have iPhones and iPads
DeleteI agree with you Steven, now that technology is expanding, and younger children are more use to using it, if they were in a dangerous situation they would know how to dial for help.
Deletei do believe that more kids are starting to use more 911 calls and that they are experiencing more threatining situations and there schools are teaching them about it and they are using it sometime for no reason
ReplyDeleteI believe that children are more experienced when it comes to dialing 911. With all of the danger, and crimes that have been occurring such as school shootings, kid napping’s, etc. Being aware of all of the incidents that do involve children, they have to be aware of when something’s wrong, or know who to go to when they have a problem. There for younger children are more experienced when it comes to contacting 911.
ReplyDeleteI do really think that younger children these days are more experienced in using 911. I remember they would always show us videos in school for us to remember 911 as the number to call in an emergency. Kids are getting smarter in understanding when a situation becomes an emergency. Each generation after the next is getting more involved in advanced technology, learning to use phones just by using it after a while. It does not surprise me at all that his instincts told him to call 911 in this emergency.
ReplyDeleteI believe that children are more experienced on how to use 911. It doesn't matter where the kid comes from or their background. Any good and responsible parent will teach their kids how to be safe if they're not present. Nowadays, there are a lot of different kinds of danger in our societies. The young boy did the most correct thing there is to do at that moment of trouble.
ReplyDeleteI believe that younger kids are becoming more and more experienced in using 911. Kids are becoming more aware during emergencies and know to call 911. It's good that children are knowing what to do in a bad situation.
ReplyDeleteThis depends on what the child has learned. If the child has learned about precautions and what to do if an incident like this would occur, then yes. But if not, then unfortunately the child would not know what to do.
ReplyDelete
