“A girl aged just three has been hailed a hero after she called for help when she couldn’t wake her mum,” Dave Snelling reports for The Daily Star. “Little Mikayla Riches found her mum, Tracey, lying motionless on the sofa and raised the alarm by calling her grandmother using FaceTime.”
“The youngster calmly picked up her mum’s iPhone, typed in her password and made the video call to her grandmother Colette, 52,” Snelling reports. “Soon after the FaceTime call was made Paramedics arrived where Mrs Riches was found to be severely dehydrated.”

MacDailyNews Take: Good work, Mikayla!
iPhone, lifesaver.
Isn’t dehydration code for “OD” if you are a celeb?
Could be. “Tired and Emotional” is code for drunk.
However, Tracy could also have a medical condition where she needs to hydrate more than most.
Sorry to spoil all the fun you iTards are having BUT, this could have been done with any phone using any messaging app.
Not necessarily. The primary advantage of the iOS is its exceptionally intuitive user interface, which even 3-year old can work. It may be more than she can handle on an Android to find a proper app in order to call grandma. Don’t forget, this girl likely still can’t read yet.
Anyone?? This was a 3 year old. Push and work is critical and searching 5 apps is not in a 3 year old pattern.
Maybe if she has a samsung 7 she could call the fire dept after the phone catches fire and sets off the smoke detectors. ???
