'Mummy is sleeping and I can't wake her' - toddler hailed hero for helping save unconscious mum

A toddler who called 999 when his mum fell unconscious has been recognised for bravery by Scotland's top police officer. He was joined by twins who rescued a teenage girl from drowning receiving awards for their courage and quick thinking.

Hanlon Stevenson was just two when his mother Lisa became unwell in February 2019. The youngster stepped into action and told the emergency services: “Mummy is sleeping and I can’t wake her.”

It meant paramedics could get to their Stirling house to treat her. Hanlon was among those thanked by Sir Iain Livingstone at the Chief Constable’s Bravery and Excellence Awards on Friday.
