The tragic 999 call police received from a little boy who had 'seen dad hurting mum'

A Welsh police force has praised the bravery of a little boy who called 999 to report that his "dad was hurting his mum". Dyfed Powys Police shared details of the tragic call in a bid to help others reach out.

The phone call from the little boy, who has not been identified, was received in the last month by emergency service call handlers and a statement from the force said that he was "so, so upset by what had just happened at home."

It was reported that the boy had seen his dad hurting his mum because she wouldn't give him something he wanted. The dad had been drinking and was described as being "angry and violent", so the little boy stepped in and tried to stop the attack.
