LOWVILLE, N.Y. (AP) — Authorities have charged a northern New York woman and her boyfriend because the woman’s 2-year-old daughter used their cellphones to dial 9-1-1 a total of 15 times last month.

Village of Lowville Police Officer Matthew Martin says the 23-year-old mother and her 33-year-old boyfriend told him they tried to keep their phones away from the persistent toddler, but the girl kept getting them and dialing 9-1-1.

Martin spoke to the couple Wednesday after Lewis County 9-1-1 dispatchers reported that a child had called 14 times in January. Martin says the child called 9-1-1 a 15th time later that night.

He charged the couple the next day with obstructing governmental administration.

Martin says the girl called 9-1-1 three more times Friday but hasn’t made an emergency call since then
