TWO children have been praised after helping paramedics get to their mother after she collapsed.

Tyler Semple, five, and his sister, Annabella, three, helped ambulance call handlers to locate and assess their mum.

Tyler will receive his second award this week at the East of England Ambulance Service’s Emergency Operations Centre.

The pair were also awarded last October for their efforts.

They will now meet the call handlers and ambulance crew who helped when their mother fell ill.

Charley-Anne Semple, 27, was at home in Thurrock, with her two children when she lost consciousness on September 21, last year.

Tyler dialled 999 and guided paramedics to his home.

He was presented with a bravery award by the National Autistic Society charity last year.

His sister, Annabella, who also has autism, was also presented with a bravery award at the time.

Ambulance staff will be presenting the bravery certificates when they visit them this week.

Speaking of the incident, Mrs Semple recalled what she could.

She said: “What I’ve been able to piece together, and have been told by the paramedics, is I was lying on the floor unconscious.

“Tyler took my phone, he knows the pin code, he’s very clever with technology. He was on the phone for ten minutes, which is extremely difficult for Tyler as he doesn’t hold conversations well.

“He said I was dead and had eaten a poisoned apple from an ugly old witch.

“We hadn’t watched Snow White recently and I haven’t been eating apples so I don’t know where it came from!

“It must have sounded like a hoax call, but it worked.”
