David Ward 9,613 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 This is disgusting and truly heartbreaking There was a public outcry after audio of Donna Reneau was released of her call with Debbie Stevens, who was in a frenzied panic when her car got stuck in floodwaters. Stevens had been delivering newspapers in the early hours of August 24 when she got caught up in torrential rainfall that caused flash flooding throughout Fort Smith. Stuck in her car, she made two phone calls, one to her mother-in-law and one to 911. In the recording of the 911 call, Reneau told Stevens off for driving into flood waters and even told her to "shut up". Stevens, 47, who was screaming for help, heard Reneau say: "You're not going to die. I don't know why you're freaking out," according to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. When help arrived 80 minutes after the call, she had drowned. The case led to a Change.org petition—so far signed by nearly 25,000 people—calling for the "investigation and criminal prosecution" of Reneau for "negligence and ignoring this woman's pleas for help." https://www.newsweek.com/911-dispatcher-drowning-woman-shut-freaking-out-cleared-wrongdoing-1478998 Unfortunately, she was cleared of any wrongdoing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
not Chromatica 5,393 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 This is just... I... Can't. Sometimes the fact that we all depend on society and the humanity of others really scares me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glamourpuss 29,080 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 I watched a news video on Facebook about this recently that played the call and it was heartbreaking. The evil witch scolds her the whole time because it was her last day on the job and she didn't care anymore. That poor woman was frantic and desperate. She must have been terrified.

Daylight Jokers 14,958 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 I can't imagine still being that bitchy when someone on the phone is close to dying, pleading for help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glamourpuss 29,080 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 She should never have been cleared of any wrong doing. She might have done everything she was supposed to in order to get the paramedics there but the way she spoke to the woman was appalling. She should have been punished for that.
