Alesaundra Tafoya's parents have been teaching their daughter about safety in their Northern California community, pointing out such safe havens as fire stations if she ever finds herself in trouble.
They weren't, however, expecting 3-year-old Alesaundra to call upon those lessons when one of them needed help -- but that's exactly what she did Friday when her father collapsed in their Manteca, California, home.
Its great to hear such a wonderful story with a happy ending. Props for Alesaundra. What great news especially from my neck of the woods. Thanks John for beating me to post the story. Get some damn sleep will ya. LOL
I'm glad it all worked out but why didn't they just teach her to dial 911?? She could have gotten lost or injured (or worse!!) walking down what looks to be a fairly busy street in her neighborhood.

911 isn't the only safety to teach children. They aren't always near telephones. Although the article doesn't say, I'll bet they did teach her 911 in addition to these measures. Walking to the firehouse is probably what struck her mind at that very moment.
I remember every time I found a dead relative. Calling 911 wasn't my first reaction, even though I was 19 and 29 each time. The first time, I called my best friend's parents. The second time, I called my husband, who I was dating at the time.
