Shut the f*** up! I have to deal with you every f***ing week! the chief is heard yelling at the crying child while he and other first responders place her in an ambulance.
The 10-year-old child is heard yelling and sobbing, I dont want to go!
Shut your mouth! the fire chief yells in response.
I want to go home! the girl yells as the first responders roll her into the ambulance.

I'm confused. Why called 911 and why? What was the emergency and why was she taken away?

Ah... thanks for the info. It sounds like she needs help from CPS or another family crisis org.

I will not fault him. He deserves much more consideration that he's being given.
