Hero toddler saves mum's life after she blacks out and collapses at home

A three-year-old girl has been credited with saving her mum, after banging on a neighbours door and raising the alarm.

Little Milly-Mae Channer turned lifesaver after her mum blacked out and collapsed on the floor at the home.

With her younger brother Mason at home, little Millie-Mae tried to wake her mum Cara, but instantly knew something was wrong.

She grabbed her mum's phone, ran to the family's next door neighbour and banged on the door.

When the door opened Millie-Mae, thrust the phone at her and told her "mummy's fallen and I can't wake her up".

The 27-year-old mum of two, was taken to hospital where tests discovered she was suffering from gastroenteritis and was severely dehydrated and kept in for two days.

Cara, from Stannington, Sheffield, said: "I'd been poorly for a few days, and was struggling on my own with two young children at home.

"I'd managed to get downstairs and make breakfast for Millie-Mae and her little brother Mason, and then lay down on the sofa.

"At some point, I got up to get something for one of the children and then I don't remember anything else, it all went black.

"The next thing I knew, I was with the ambulance crew, who told me my blood pressure was really low.

"I live alone with the kids and my condition could have been really serious if I'd just laid there without help. I'm so proud of Millie-Mae's quick thinking."

Cara added: "She saved my life. It could have ended very differently if it wasn't for Millie-Mae raising the alarm.

"When I took her back to pre school, after all this had happened, and told them what she'd done, they were delighted.

"It turns out they regularly hold sessions with the children to teach them what to do and when, and even have phones in the classroom so they can show them how to call 999.

"I think they were thrilled to hear that the information they've been putting out in class is resonating with the children."
