She is sitting on the ground and I don't think she can easily walk on that foot right now. The third photo shows a small child in a medicine cabinet. He is picking up a medicine. If he were to take the medicine, it would be very dangerous and potentially fatal.

I would also call 120 for someone injured in a car accident, for a stroke victim, or someone with a co
