You can’t blame a police officer for being dedicated to his duty even if he is hoaxed out of his wits. There have been several instances of scamsters calling 911 just for experiencing a cheap thrill. The law should never be trifled with and neither should fake calls be made as it hinders policemen from doing their job elsewhere.
However this turned out to be a different and amusing case altogether. This was no hoax call neither was this any scam of sorts. When Police Lieutenant Jason Short received a 911 distress call he did respond. It was dramatic when this officer saved this baby by smashing open the car window. How relieved he was at the thought of rescuing the baby from a horrible fate. Or did he?
Jason Short, a police lieutenant received the 911 distress call from a hospital car park in New Hampshire. It was a sweltering hot day and the car parked outside was closed and there was a baby inside. People were no doubt horrified as the child could suffocate and die.
When Jason got there, he remarked to WMUR TV, that the child looked lifeless and dead. “I got there as soon as I could,” Short told WMUR. “I don’t know how fast I was going, but it was quick. His quick thinking reflexes acted instantly. The Officer saved the baby by smashing the car window. It seemed unconscious, so he tried reviving it and stuck his finger in its mouth. When he did that he got the shock of his life.

“And I went to put my finger in its mouth and it was all resistance,” Short said. “Yes! Because It WAS A DOLL. A lifelike doll lying there on the front seat. The doll was so lifelike it resembled a flesh and blood living baby. You can well imagine what officer short felt. Was it relief or a sheer feeling of stupidity but you can’t really blame him for doing his duty. His actions were commendable because what would have happened if it were a real baby?

The car a Vauxhall Corsa was parked near the Russell’s Hall Hospital where the sisters were visiting their interned Mother.
