[Asia Economy Reporter Bang Je-il] A 4-year-old child in Australia who saved his mother's life with an unusually calm response has become a hot topic.


According to the British BBC on the 6th (local time), Monty Koger, a four-year-old living in Launceston, Tasmania, Australia, discovered his mother Wendy Koger collapsed on the 27th of last month and called the national emergency number 000, reporting "Mom has collapsed."


Rescuers who arrived at the Koger family's home at the time explained, "When we arrived, Koger was waving from the veranda window," adding, "The child was very calm."


Another rescuer said, "I have worked as a paramedic for 13 years, but this is the first time I have seen a 4-year-old call for help."


The reason Koger was able to respond quickly was thanks to the emergency call method Wendy Koger had taught him the day before.


The day before the incident, Wendy taught her son Monty how to unlock the phone and make an emergency call. Coincidentally, this happened just one day after she taught him the method.


Wendy said, "Before collapsing, I was feeling unwell and called my husband, but the call did not connect, and I immediately lost consciousness. When I woke up, I was receiving treatment. My son saved me."



After this story became known, the Australian fire department presented a certificate of appreciation to Koger on the 6th.
