Girls use Facebook instead of phone to summon emergency help

Two Australian girls aged 10 and 12 raised a few eyebrows, and undoubtedly received stern lectures from their parents, when they used Facebook instead of their phone to request help after becoming lost in a storm drain. Despite having a mobile phone with which they could have called local police, the girls posted a cry for help on social media site Facebook. Luckily one of their friends noticed the status message and called the police who promptly rescued them.

Having worked in EMS, three words: Nine One One. (or whatever number in your community.) This could have had a very opposite conclusion.
