Calm 7-Year-Old Aids in Sitter's Rescue
Written by C. Johnson, Internet News Producer
A 7-year-old Granite Bay boy is credited with helping rescue his babysitter who got stuck in a dumb waiter in his home.
The incident took place Thursday night, according to the Placer County Sheriff's Department. The 21-year-old sitter was playing hide and seek with the boy when she went into the home's dumb waiter compartment, which the boy had warned her to not enter. The dumb waiter descended under the weight and became stuck.
The boy called 911 for help. He is also heard calming his upset 5-year-old sister.
South Placer Fire personnel were dispatched but delayed from entering the home because the family's German shepard was guarding the premises. Once firefighters gained entrance, they were able to extricate the babysitter who sustained some cuts and scrapes. She did not require medical treatment.
