An influencer has shared a video of the shocking moment her daughter called emergency services and told them her “mom had died.”
Melbourne resident Iva Marra took to Instagram on Wednesday to share footage of her six-year-old daughter Milana being caught on camera sneakily calling 000.
In the throwback video, Milana is seen sitting at home with her four-year-old brother Stefan, who holds the phone to his ear, before his older sister snatches it out of his hand.
She is then heard saying: “10:45. My mom died. My mom died.”
He looks down at his phone and immediately asks, “Can I hang up? I have a meeting,” before abruptly ending the call.
The footage then shows Iva confronting Milana and asking her who she had been talking to on the phone and what she had said.
After confirming that she had told the ambulance that her mother had died, Milana begins to cry as she explains that she wanted to learn to be a doctor.
Through tears, she says: “I wanted to learn about the police and what they do, I mean doctors, because how will I know how to be a doctor? I won’t know how to be a doctor when I grow up!”

Sharing the clip on Instagram, Iva warned fans not to be fooled by Milana’s “crocodile tears” as she reflected on the awkward phone call mishap.
The Yummy Mummies star, who shares her children with husband Steven Joe Marra, said it was an old video and she “took a trip down memory lane” to re-share the gaffe.
The footage divided fans in the comments, with some shocked that he had wasted the ambulance service’s time and wanted to know if they had been called.
One wrote: ‘Oh god someone needs to learn about the importance of emergency services and the seriousness of making prank calls and wasting time… I think he was literally just playing around and was curious… but still not right.’
“Poor you @iva.marra, I hope you have learned your lesson,” said another.

When a fan asked what happened next, Iva said she “screamed” and assured them that Milana never tried to call 000 as a prank again.
Many fans also came to Iva’s defense as they saw the humor in the situation and assured her that it is common for children to try to call emergency services.
One wrote: “She deserves an Oscar for the theatrical response she gave you,” while another said: “I mean the initiative to learn to be a doctor is there! Girls report deaths and organize meetings. She has the skills.”
“Forget the haters. She’s not the first kid and definitely won’t be the last to call 000. She now knows what 000 is for and I’m sure she won’t do it again,” wrote a third.
A fourth person explained: “I’ve lost count of how many times I called emergency services in one night as a child. At least she had the confidence to talk to them. All I did was call and hang up repeatedly. Kids.”
And another joked: ’21st birthday pictures lol or maybe med school graduation pictures!’
