I heard about this tonight from my mom who still lives near Detroit. From what I understand, the woman has been on the job for a decade or more. What pavel said is true and, as far as I know, federally mandated. I think the woman should, at least, be charged with negligent manslaughter. Also, for as much as I don't really like Fieger, he's the right man for this job... he'll surely get the boy and his family a LARGE sum of money.
Toaster, why is it a slippery slope? An emergency was called in, but the dispatcher CHOSE not to take it seriously. She was personally negligent in her actions, and as a result a woman died. There is no slippery slope... if you work in emergency services, you have a responsibility to the public who you serve. This woman failed, and henceforth caused the death of the mother in this story.
