Diyona was hiding in her parent’s closet when the robbers broke into the room. She was fortunate to be chatting with an experienced 911 operator who had a plan.

Diyona Oladipupo was alone in her family home in Chula Vista, California, when intruders broke in years ago.

At the time, the 15-year-old was at home with her parents, who were scheduled to return from work hours later.
She therefore understood that something was seriously wrong and that she needed to remain calm and act without delay when she first heard the doorbell ring and then the alarm of her family’s home security system.

The astute child grabbed the phone and dialed 911 while removing her shoes so the invaders wouldn’t hear her enter the house.

The child hid behind a garment rack in her parents’ walk-in closet. She hoped the robbers couldn’t see her, but she was scared they would soon be able to because she could see them.

“I was afraid because I could see them. And I expected them to notice me. She claimed they were simply stealing from her mother.

As soon as she was hiding in the closet, she dialed 911 and was connected to a dispatcher.

The dispatcher, who attempted to help the youngster keep composure and follow directions in order to stay safe until help arrived, can be heard speaking to the girl in the phone call that was made public.

The operator answered the 911 call and added, “My officers want you to know that your whole house is surrounded, you’re in safe hands, but just stay where you are.”

The woman on the other end of the line begged her to stop talking when she discovered that the intruders had entered the room where the girl was hiding.

So that her voice wouldn’t be heard, she asked her to answer her questions by tapping on the phone.

Officer Gary Wedge described her as “clearly terrified but incredibly composed.”

After grabbing all they could from the property, the burglars were about to leave when they were stopped by the police officers who had surrounded the house.

Three teens were found to be the burglars, and the police quickly apprehended and detained them.
Diyona’s emergency call was handled by an officer who said that dispatchers are trained to remain composed and speak to 911 callers in a way that makes them feel less alone.

The adolescent admitted that the dispatcher’s instructions kept her safe, even admitting that she would have “freaked out” if she had been speaking with someone else on the phone.

What a terrible circumstance for the adolescent, and what a tremendous job the girl, the dispatcher, and the cops did to secure the happy ending of this story.
