'Hero Son' Calls 911 After Mom Collapses At Staten Island Home
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) -- A 7-year-old Staten Island boy used his mother's iPhone to call 911 after she collapsed during dinner.
Second-grader Jayden Allen-Walton, of Mariners Harbor, also contacted his godmother and ran to a neighbor's home for help during the incident earlier this month, the Staten Island Advance reported.
Michelene Bumbrey said she passed out after her blood pressure dropped rapidly. She fell off her chair and hit her head against the tile.
"I was feeling scared, and I called 911," Jayden told the newspaper. "I told them, 'My mom's bleeding on the floor.'"
Jayden said he'd like to become a police officer or a firefighter when he grows up.
If that doesn't happen, his fallback occupation is professional wrestler.
His proud mom hopes to take him to see wrestling as a reward.
"If it wasn't for him, I would not be here today," Bumbrey told the Advance.
"He's my hero son."
