Sienna Adderley, showed maturity beyond her years when she called the Police to tell them that her mother, Katie Adderley, had collapsed at their home in Rugby, Warwickshire last Thursday.
Sienna tells the operator that her mother is “collapsed on the floor” and “shaking” and that she can't "wake her up."
You can also hear the cries of Sienna’s younger brother Ryley Adderley, as she tries to keep him calm while her unconscious mother is on the floor.
Paramedics were eventually able to break down the door of the Adderley’s home and reach Katie.
