Police in West Yorkshire are appealing for help in tracing a girl who called the ambulance service to say her mother had fallen and was not moving.

The girl, who made the 999 call at 10:53 BST on Monday, told the operator she was three years old and that her mother was called Stacey Hall.

She said her house number was 23 and her address contained the word "Mount".

Police said despite "extensive inquiries" they had been unable to identify where the call came from.
'Vulnerable little girl'
During the call, which lasted 33 minutes, the girl said her mother had fallen and would not get up.

She had shouted at her mother and wiggled her but she remained on the kitchen floor with a piece of toast in her hand not moving, she added.

The front and back door were locked and she could not get out of the house, she said.

The girl also said her grandparents lived in Bridlington.

Det Ch Insp Lisa Griffin, from West Yorkshire Police, said they "urgently" needed to be able to identify the location of the girl and her mother.

"We are hoping that someone out there who knows the family will recognise the pieces of information that the ambulance call taker managed to get from her," she said.

"We are treating this situation extremely seriously as it appears we have a woman in need of urgent medical attention and a vulnerable little girl who will also need our help."

A team of detectives were making "wide-ranging" inquiries to trace the family, including checks on police systems, hospitals, and the public register of births, she added.

Are they not able to trace the call? I remember seeing a video aimed at kids telling them never to hang up a 999 call unless they were told to, but to stay on the line as the police would be able to find them even if they were unable to give an address.
If anybody hears how this turned out I hope they'll post an update. Hope the kiddie and her mum are OK
