Monday August 14, 2023, the Yvelines firefighters published on the social networks an excerpt from a call made on July 13, 2023 by a 7-year-old child named Lahna. “Hello, my mother, she can’t wake up”, we hear him say to the rescuer. When Florian Boubet asks him for his address, the little one responds with great composure. Florian Boubet then tells him what first aid actions to take. Calmly following the corporal’s instructions, the little girl places his mother in a safe lateral position before going to alert his neighbour. Friday, August 18, The Parisian published the testimony where she returns to her act of bravery. His mother, Massiva, began by decontextualizing. “That day, I makes you feel unwell. How I did it, I don’t know, but I felt I was going to. I got out of work [..], I parked the car sideways, I drank water, I ate a little something but it wouldn’t pass. I stayed upstairs looking at my phone, and I don’t know, I left, what”detailed the 34-year-old mother
The little girl knew the number of the fire department by heart
Lahna in turn took the floor to tell the rest of the story: “She didn’t want to wake up. I said ‘mommy, mommy!’, but she wouldn’t. So, I called 18.”. The little girl says that it was at school that she was taught the emergency number. “Ah yes, and mum too, she taught me! Sorry mum, I forgot!”, she resumed herself. The mother specified that the 18th was her daughter’s birthday. A life-saving mnemonic that has been combined with the child’s developed sense of observation, which “listen a lot” and who actually knew his home address by heart. Asked if what the firefighters were asking of him was easy, Lahna answered bluntly: “Yes, very easy, even!” Confident to have “started crying on the bed, anyway, before the firefighters arrived”she quickly recovered to claim her due: “The whole family is proud! […] And I hope that Emmanuel Macron going to give me a medal, huh!” “I am proud”, confirmed Massiva, who now has proof that she can always count on the unwavering support and love of her offspring.
