The child—who was hiding under a bed during the call— told dispatchers he feared for his life and said he could hear the front door being kicked, his mother crying, and being drug out of the house.

According to the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office, just after 1:00 a.m. Saturday, emergency dispatchers received a frantic call from the child who said a man, Clarence Scranton, was attacking his mother. The child said that his mother had run inside the home screaming for him to call the police. The suspect reportedly refused to let the woman out of the car and ripped her phone from her hands when she tried to call 911.
PCSO said Monday that deputies quickly responded to the home largely because of the quick action taken by the child.
