911 Operator In Trouble For 'Stupid People' Remark
CINCINNATI -- A 911 dispatcher faces discipline and a mother who made a frantic call for help says she was outraged by the dispatcher's response.
The mother called to report the family's pit bull had attacked her 18-month-old boy.
The operator quickly dispatched an emergency crew, but she's in trouble for calling the mother and her husband "stupid people," News 5's Juliette Vara reported.
"Like I was to blame, I'm worthless, a no-good mom or something," said the mother, Samantha Osborne.
