Ohio toddler calls 911 for dad thanks to SpongeBob

Vincent Lamitie, 3, of North Ridgeville, was home alone with his dad when his father passed out and fell down the basement stairs last Sunday. Without hesitation, somehow, the young boy knew to call 911.

“I fell down the stairs,” Vincent’s father, Vince Lamitie, explained. “I must have turned around to go back downstairs, and I landed on the floor, I guess. I don’t remember nothing. The only thing I remember is waking up, and my head was really hurting. My side (and) my nose (were also hurting), and my son was leaning over me, talking to someone on the phone.”

Vincent’s parents still don’t know how he learned to call 911 because they never taught him, thinking he was too young to understand. The only thing they can figure out is perhaps he learned it from a cartoon.

When asked how he knew what to do in the emergency situation, Vincent replied, “Sponge Bob calls 911.”
