"Can we have an ambulance please, my daddy has just attacked my mammy." The haunting words uttered by an eight-year-old on a 999 call.
As the call continues, the child's voice disappears and is replaced by muffled screams as a man continues his barrage of abuse.
The phone cuts off. The emergency responder calls back and a woman answers. "It's just my ankle, I'll be fine. I don't want to waste an ambulance."
