To serve and protect,

They don't send police for this anymore,

LAVAL, Que. – A mother and a daycare teacher tried desperately to free a 15-month-old baby boy from a locked car in the scorching heat Monday after emergency services refused to send help.


The boy, named Michael, was accidentally locked in the car around 3 p.m. in front of a Laval daycare. The temperature outside was 32 C.

32C is about 100F, 115F with the humidity for my imperialistic friends.

She hung up and called 911, still in a state of panic.

"The operator told me that for them, this wasn't an emergency, that they don't send the police for this," the teacher explained.

Police in the city stopped opening locked car doors about 10 years ago.

Good to know, police do not come to mere babies baking in a car, thats not dangerous at all, you just get charged with  manslaughter or it's equivalent if the baby dies right? Thank Goodness she had a hubby a short phone call away:

In the end, little Michael was only locked in the car for about 10 minutes before Lefebvre's husband arrived with a hammer and a blanket and broke one of the rear windows.

Hmmmm wonder how cooked baby Mikey would have gotten if hubby wasn't available and a quick thinker? I think I would have busted out the window right away but who am I to judge someone who doesn't think of it right away or may think they don't have enough strength, didn't have an object to do the deed or is worried about hurting the baby while doing it. Panic is a funny thing, we don't all think clearly, thats why its called panic.

Even if they didn't send police officers, they could have kept me on the line to guide me and calm me down," Lefebvre added

Hey maybe 911 could have suggested she bust out the window with something and wait on the line till the deed is done? Naaaa, obviously not their problem anymore. Lady, your too nice, you should be outraged,  911 (dial a prayer) is paid for with taxpayer stolen funds. But now you know 911 and "to serve and protect, policemen are your friends that keep you safe" is a big fat sham.

I'd like to add an addendum: I do not absolve the absent minded Mom of her responsibility for accidentally locking the child in the car, but that is NOT the point of this post, is it? It's about the official response of those who pretend they exist to be of service to us.
