Bright Gehlila summons help for mom from 9-1-1

Toronto Police have published a story and participated in honouring Gelila Aedmasu, 8, for her smart and level-headed work in getting help for her mother. It happened August 16, 2014 when Mrs. Aedmasu was not well and collapsed. Gehlila kept her head and remembered her school training on how to call 9-1-1. She did so on her mother’s cell phone and with the help of operator Michelle Everest was able to get the help which saw her mom restored to her normal self. It is a moving story but it is also an insight into how good schooling and a pretty intelligent child can reinforce our confidence in both systems and people.  TPS story
