Aibu to ask you to listen to 911 recording from 6 year old **EXTREME WARNING*** DV

[Flyinga]

I was browsing youtube listening to little children calling 999 and saving their lives and unfortunately came across this one.

I have been a victim of DV, but never when dc were in the house, by the Grace of God.

However, I read very many threads on here about DV where the victim says that the children don't know, they weren't there at the time, they were upstairs, they were in a different room, they were asleep etc.

I am the most sympathetic to victims of DV having been one myself, but I just thought this was something real, that maybe some of us need to hear.

Another one I hear frequently is, "he has never hit me, he just argues"

Just listen to this little child's distress. Your kids are no different. Your relationship is no different.

DV will always affect a child.

that was absolutely horrifying.

I was listening to cute ones of for e.g. the 3 year old from Bristol, and ended up listening to this!

I do think it's worth listening to, in order to highlight what affect the it has on children.

[SeriouslyStrongCheese]

Awful so sad

Having listened to a few of them, I don't know how I'd be a 999 operator.

Poor little Lisa.

Just to balance it out as that's pretty horrific, this one is nicer.

She's only 3.

I split with my kids dad when we was 2 and ds 10 weeks because in my head it was the first time dd witnessed it (He had a knife to my throat with her clinging to my leg). About 6 weeks ago at 4.5 she casually comes out with "I don't have a daddy because he threw my toys at my mummy" I know exactly what incident she is talking about and had no idea she had seen it.

Kids, even young ones, are very very aware even.

The last one from the little 3 year was so cute.

Mummy and the baby fell down the stairs.
Is the baby asleep? I don't know
Is the baby breathing? I don't know

And then the innocent revelation that the baby is in Mummy's tummy.

Mummy and baby survived by the way as there's a whole new report about Emma.



Interestingly enough, most of the tots don't know Mummy's name. And they don't know how old Mummy is either. They also don't know their address.

Might be worth teaching our little ones those details.

[SuperSara]

Poor, poor children.

That is heartbreaking to listen to.

[Nothininmenoggin]

OMG Utterly heartbreaking.

[Cocolapew]

That's horrific

[Bugsymalonemumof2]

And I have also started teaching emergency measures (we has verbal dyspraxia so speech is a problem) and have taught her which two neighbours houses to go to if mummy ever wouldn't wake up or if something bad happened that made her scared

[HennyPennyHorror]

Well YABU to ask people to listen to something which is obviously very disturbing. Why are people clicking on it!?? I wouldn;t! I don't want to hear such sadness.

[clairethewitch70]

OMG that was devastating

[RuggerHug]

Holy fuck. That's heartbreaking 😥

[Flyinga]

I had to go to one of dc's dance shows with two black eyes (5 days later where it's sort of purple/yellow). My sister bought me the heaviest concealer she could find and I just wore sunglasses (it wasn't a sunny day). Dd didn't seem to notice thankfully.
I'm sure dd's best friend's parents thought I was some sort of Victoria Beckham wannabe.
My dc lived with my Mum until I could get him out of the house.

@HennyPennyHorror

Were you incapable of reading EXTREME WARNING DV

It's in the fucking thread title.

[SkintAsASkintThing]

So sad op.

I have the upmost sympathy for victims of domestic violence, I really do. But as someone who at times lived in an abusive household I have little tolerance for those with children who don't put them first and get out of there.

For anyone who is for there sakes do what needs to be done, make plans today. Factors of my childhood destroyed the adult I was capable of being. And my mother did escape, 2 / 3 times with 4 babies piled onto her huge pram and whatever she could store underneath.........God only knows what state I'd be in now if we'd lived through it for years.

[Flyinga]

Don't click into it if you have been warned and don't care to listen. You were warned in the thread title that it was extreme and related to DV. I also stated that it was a 911 call from a 6 year old.

What the fuck were you expecting?

Some people can handle shit like this, some can't. You're obviously of the latter sort.

I posted to illustrate that as much as we try to hide domestic abuse/domestic violence, the children DO know.

[HappilyHarridan]

I wonder if that little girl wants strangers on the Internet listening to her at that time of distress and sharing the recording. I wouldn’t want that if it was me.

[PurpleCrazyHorse]

Not just for DV, but worth role playing with your children in case they have to make a 999 call. You can get info online, but the first question is 'what service do you require' then, once you're put through, they'll want your address and phone number. If you call on a landline, the number usually shows up in the control room anyway, but they ask you to confirm it if you can. So getting your DC to call on a landline if you have one would be preferable. DD now knows our address but we put a little label by the phone. DD also practised calling people on our landline, so she knew how to use it.

At night, put the lights on at the front of the house, you'll probably be the only house lit up on the street and makes it easier for the crew to spot you.

[Noninonino]

Do you what happened to the girl and baby? I am just crying for them

[Flyinga]

The thing that struck me was that Lisa was so concerned about her baby brother and sister. At 6!

I think the hardest thing for me about that job, is that you'd never find out the outcome of what happened.
