    999 centre plagued by child's 'toy' phone calls

    Don't give children working mobiles to play with!

    That's the message from the Emergency Services Joint Control Room, which says it's been called every day this week by a youngster.

    999 calls can be made even if a mobile phone doesn't have a SIM card - but without a number the control centre can't call back and stop it happening again.

    It's asking parents to reconsider giving children working phones as toys because it could stop it responding in a real emergency.
