Hero Danny saves his mother

Danny takes control when his mother Ann collapses

A five year old boy who raised the alarm when his mother collapsed has picked up a second bravery award.

Experts say Danny Taylor's quick response stopped his diabetic mother Ann falling into a coma.

After dialling 999 he was able to follow instructions from the operator and direct an ambulance crew to his house.

The schoolboy, from Leeds, now has an award from West Yorkshire Ambulance Service to go with one from West Yorkshire Police he received earlier.

When Mrs Taylor fell ill in March she blacked out.

He's the man of the house - or so he keeps telling me. He's a remarkable little boy

It was up to Danny to contact the emergency services, with operator Kaye Alexander answering his call.

"She was saying to check if your mummy is alright and I did," said Danny.

"I did what the lady told me to do."

Mrs Alexander said: "I wanted him to check if mummy was on her tummy or back, if she was breathing. He was absolutely superb."

It is not the first time Danny has had to help his mother get back on her feet.

He now has a special key that he can use to let ambulance crews into the house.

Mrs Taylor said: "He stays cool and calm throughout it all.

"I am not with it at the time so he takes control.

"He's the man of the house - or so he keeps telling me. He's a remarkable little boy."
