Regardless of how uplifting this news article is, I think there is a lot of recklessness on the mother's side. In that condition she should carry an emergency button with her.

Sadly emergency workers could not enter the house since Amazon had locked it remotely after they heard a racial slur that they found offensive, which turned out after investigation to have been a meowing cat. RIP the momma.

They'll just break down the door.

It was a joke lmao

A phone and 911 is just as easy and less intrusive

Not sure how reliable can a toddler call 911, I'd rather think at a panic button or monitor like other commenters mentioned. But I have another question about this story: how many Alexa emergency calls are jokes/accidental over the entire user base? A few for sure are life saving, but I also expect quite some useless noise.

Not sure a 6 yo is considered a toddler

6 year olds are perfectly capable of operating complex computing devices already.

My 3 kids were able to handle complex computing devices even before then

So the BBC does product placement now?
