A toddler calls 911 and when the police arrived, they cannot believe their eyes.
Mary, a 911 operator, received the toddlers cry for help. “Hello? 911? Hello?” She said as the call connected. What she heard was heartbreaking.
“Momma?” a child’s voice asked. Mary went on alert. “Can you hear me?” she asked. She heard baby talk that she couldn’t understand on the other end of the line. “Is your mommy or daddy there with you?” she asked again. Mary could hear dogs barking. “Hello? Do you have mommy or daddy with you?” The child whispered, “No.”
Due to a language barrier Mary and the child couldn’t understand each other. “Call mommy or daddy. Tell them someone is on the phone for them, okay?” She instructed the child and heard a rustling sound through her headset. The child explained, “Ah no, she went out.” Mary continued to question the child, but the responses were barely audible.
“Can you stay on the phone with me and talk to me?” Mary asked as she triangulated the child’s location. “Is that your puppy I hear?” She asked to keep the child on the line. “What’s your name? What age are you?” Nothing. “Are you still there?” Then the call ended but Mary had the location of the call.
The call was traced to Oak Hill, Florida, and a couple of deputies were dispatched to investigate.
On arrival the cops discovered more than they expected. The run down trailer was extremely dirty. There were two dogs trapped in a cage and a third one was loose and aggressive. The cops called animal control before making their way into the home.
In the trailer Law enforcement found a loaded gun was left out so the children could “play” with it and the children had nothing to eat.
According to ‘AWM’, 26-year-old mom, Yajaira Tirado was arrested and charged with two counts of child neglect.
She lied to authorities and told them that “she had only been gone for five minutes” to buy groceries with the neighbor. But when the cops put more pressure on her to tell the true story, she admitted it was all a lie. She admitted she had left the three-year-old in charge and that she thought the shotgun was broken.
A neighbor had watched the negligent mother leave the trailer on a golf cart for undisclosed reasons.
The two children were removed from Tirado’s custody. And now the state is investigating the extent of the abuse.
