Amazing 4-year-old girl saves pregnant mum

Little Ruby phones for help as mum collapses in the park

Ruby managed to save her mum, despite only being 4-years-old

Pregnant Karen Cresswell and her daughter, Ruby, were out feeding the ducks when Karen collapsed with a brain haemorrhage.

Taking her mum’s mobile phone, 4-year-old Ruby called her dad, Neil Clark. Ruby described to her dad where they were.

“Ruby is only 4 but she is pretty clever,” said proud dad, Neil.

The family said that emergency services took nearly an hour to reach Karen, and say she would have died if Ruby didn’t act as quickly as she did.

Has your child ever saved the day?
