Or are they simply do not know the 000 even exist ?May be 000 has to put more ads than facebook[/citation]
You are taught what 000 is in kindergarten here, if not before by your parents. Also you can call 000 from a mobile even if there is no sim card.
That brings me to the parents... I would ask what they were doing, but then I remembered that Honeypot Rd is in a real dero part of Adelaide, and as such the dad had probably run off (to the pub) and mum was down the shop getting smokes and didn't even realize 2 of her 7 kids were gone.
