Unfortunately it is not always the person making the omission who suffers.
How will you explain to a 14-year-old girl, babysitting at someone else's house,
why 911 failed to work while some pervert was breaking down the back door?
I will point at the homeowner and say "They didn't spend the 5 minutes it would have taken to activate 911 service on the phone. Would you like to say anything to them about how thier stupid lazyness has changed your life?"
And that will fix things if she was raped or murdered???
