EVERY DAD, EVERY MAN SHOULD READ PATRICK CLANCY’S 911 CALL TRANSCRIPT...

Terry Schilling on X: Every dad, every man should read Patrick Clancy’s 911 call transcript. Dawson was his first son. The first son to a father is an incredible bond that only God can accurately explain. My gut is wrenching and I cannot stop thinking about it. 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: My wife tried to commit suicide. 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: Stay awake. How old is she? 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: 31–33. 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: Is she awake? 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: Yes. 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: Is she breathing? 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: Yeah. Lindsay, what did you do to your neck? She’s talking. 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: When did this happen? 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: Last half hour. 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: How far did she fall? 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: 20 feet. 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: Is she responding normally? 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: A little bit. Wake up! 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: What part of the body was injured? 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: Her neck. She’s breathing. Lindsay, look at me. Look at me. 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: Are there weapons? 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: I don’t see any. Where are the kids? 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: Do not move her. 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: Open your eyes. Lindsay, look at me. Open your eyes. Say my name. 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: I’m going to tell you how to stop the bleeding. 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: It’s not really bleeding… open wounds. She’s in the backyard. 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: Is there something on her neck? Can you put pressure on it? 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: No. Lindsay, wake up. They’re coming. Look at me. 𝗦𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘀. First responders arrive. 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: I need you to stay with her. I have to go check on my kids. 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲 / 𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗙𝗼𝗼𝘁𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽𝘀. 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: Guys? Guys? Cora? Cora? Dawson? Oh no. Oh no! Wake up! Then screaming and gasping for an extended stretch. 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: What’s going on? Hello? 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: Basement! Basement! Oh my God! I need help in the basement right now. 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: Hello? Hello? 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: Dawson! My buddy! My little boy! My buddy! AHHHHH, SHE KILLED THE KIDS!!! Oh my God!
