Indeed no one should have to take this abuse, however, it is her father who is suffering the consequences.

So, instead of blaming the abuser, we translate the blame upon the victim of the abuse. If this were your daughter, would you curse the 911 responder, or would you council your daughter to watch her foul mouth?

I'd say something along the lines of "Your mouth could have resulted in my death, if this had been a life threatening situation. No one has to put up with profanity, and you took what should have been a routine 911 call, and turned it into something that should have never happened".

No one has to deal with profanity. Some of us are less sensitive than others, but no one should be forced to be the recipient of verbal abuse. Instead of getting into a fight with the abuser, the operator simply hung up, and kept hanging up. Eventually, the message got through.

Oh yeah, I think the daughter should be in major trouble.

I just don’t want her dad left in convulsions because of her misbehavior.
