A child in Guelph made nearly 130 accidental 911 calls on an old phone, prompting police response and safety warnings.
A child in Guelph, Ontario, accidentally made nearly 130 911 calls over several hours on a weekend using an old, unregistered cellphone without a SIM card or active service.
Police received the calls between 4:40 p.m. and 9:30 p.m., hearing a child on many lines but unable to confirm an emergency or locate the device despite using GPS data.
Authorities warn that any functioning phone can dial 911 and urge parents to remove batteries or let devices fully drain before giving old phones to children.
They also advise staying on the line if a 911 call is made accidentally to prevent unnecessary emergency responses.
