Lawsuit planned over 911 response to boy's call

DETROIT The family of a woman whose 5-year-old son was scolded by a 9-1-1 operator when he called for help plans to file a lawsuit.

Forty-six-year-old Sherrill Turner died on February 20th after collapsing at home. Her son told a 9-1-1 operator that his mother had passed out, but the operator asked to speak with an adult.

When he called back later, an operator told him: "You shouldn't be playing on the phone."

By the time authorities arrived, Turner was dead.

Attorney Geoffrey Fieger says he is filing the suit on behalf of the family.
