LOWNDES COUNTY, Miss. (WCBI) – The Lowndes County Board of Supervisors honored a little girl for her bravery and quick thinking that likely saved her mother’s life.

Lowndes County Dispatcher LaTonya Malone remained on the phone with Bryanna Cook for more than two hours until law enforcement found them just before 7 p.m. that night.

Cook’s mother was taken to the hospital for treatment.
