BROOKLINE, MA — Don't expect a ceremony honoring
8-year-old Billy Thompson any time soon, said local authorities
after the second grader failed to call 911 when his mother
collapsed at home.
At approximately 10:30 Tuesday morning, Helen Thompson was
eating breakfast with her son when she began choking on a
piece of overcooked bacon. According to police reports, she
began coughing hard, then grabbed her neck and pointed to
it several times as her face turned a deep shade of blue.
Although Billy was taught the international sign for choking
as well as how to call 911 in an emergency, he failed to perform
either the Heimlich Maneuvoer, CPR or make any emergency phone
call. When questioned by the authorities, Billy explained
he thought his mother was just taking a nap on the floor like
she often did when she was drinking.
"There's no question about it," said paramedic,
Joe Wilson. "If Billy had called 911, we would have arrived
in time to save his mother. I hope that little bastard gets
what's coming to him."
Reaction from locals was harsh and swift. "He's always
been a good-for-nothing kid," said next door neighbor,
Dick Halloway. "If I had a boy like that, I would have
drowned him years ago."
Neighbor Gertie Jones agreed."I remember when Sally
just up the street had a heart attack and her 3 year-old granddaughter
remembered to call 911. That little girl was a hero and even
got an award from the Mayor."
Billy's teacher, Miss Murphy was a bit more philosophical
about the incident. "I would like to believe that every
child has a unique gift to share with the world, but I'm afraid
that just isn't true in Billy's case. I hope he gets cancer."
