A child dials 911 seeking assistance from police officer.

Generally, we tell our kids to call 911 if they ever need help. But one child took the lesson to a completely new level!

The child was experiencing problems with his homework, so he made the decision to call for help. Since 911 was the only number he knew, he took up the phone and dialed it. Is it true that the people listed on this number are ones that need help? Indeed. I think he was right someplace, too.

The operator who was answering began asking the standard questions. Following a lengthy period of miscommunication, the operator discovered that the child truly had difficulty with math problems.

The entire phone call they had is available below. We were really amused by this and laughed a lot. The YouTube video is also available at the conclusion of the article.

Operator: emergency 911

Boy: I do require assistance.

Operator: What’s wrong?

Boy: Using my arithmetic.

Operator: Using your lips?

Boy: Not using my math. I must complete it. Are you going to assist me?

Operator: Alright. What city do you reside in?

Boy: I can’t do the math.

Operator: You’re right, I understand. But where do you live?

Boy: No, I’d rather have a phone conversation with you.

Operator: I’m not able to do it. I can dispatch another person to assist you.

Boy: Alright.

Operator: What type of math problems are you having trouble with?

Boy: These are my takeaways.

Operator: You must complete the takeaways, I see.

Boy: Certainly

Operator: Okay, so what’s the issue?

Boy: I need your assistance with my math.

Operator: Alright, explain the arithmetic to me.

Boy: Alright. What is 8 minus 16?

Operator: You inform me. How much do you estimate it to be?

Boy: I have no idea, 1.

Operator: Not at all. What is your age?

Boy: I’m just four years old.

Operator: Four!

Boy: Certainly.

Operator: What’s the next issue? That was a difficult one.

Boy: Well, this one’s here. Five things to take away.

Operator: Five minus five, what do you think that is worth?

Boy: five

Female: Johnny What are you doing, exactly?

Boy: I’m getting help with my math from the policeman.

Woman: Did I mention that I was going to call you?

Operator: The mother is here.

Boy: You told me to call someone if I needed assistance.

Woman: The police aren’t who I meant!

I Found a Boy in My Backyard—His Shocking Secret Will Leave You Speechless

I Found a Boy in My Backyard—His Shocking Secret Will Leave You Speechless

I felt so sorry for him—a seven-year-old boy. I gave him a glass of water and a seat as I led him inside.

I saw the tiredness in his eyes and the dirt on his face as he drank. “Tommy, where do you live? Do you know your address?” I asked gently. He shook his head. “I was with my uncle, but he said he couldn’t take care of me anymore. He left me on the street.”

It was worse than I had imagined. Even though I had so many questions, my main concern was keeping Tommy safe. I didn’t call the police right away because I didn’t want to scare him. I told him, “We’ll figure this out. Let’s get you some food and cleaned up first.”

After a good meal and a bath, Tommy seemed more relaxed. He even managed a small smile. I called a friend who works in social services, and they promised to come over to help.

While I waited, I gently asked Tommy more questions. He shared some details about his life before being left on the streets, mentioning his mother, Lisa, and a sad story of abuse and being abandoned.

Soon, my friend arrived and spoke kindly with Tommy. After what felt like hours, she came back, her face full of determination. “Tommy needs to go somewhere safe tonight,” she said. “I’ll set him up in temporary foster care and start searching for his family.” She added, “But we need to handle this carefully.”

I nodded, feeling both relieved and sad. Tommy had already found a place in my heart, but I knew he had to leave. Over the next few days, I stayed in touch with my friend and got updates. They found Lisa, his mother, who had been searching for him for a long time. She had overcome her own struggles and was ready to bring him home.

The reunion was emotional. I cried as I watched Tommy and his mother hug each other tightly. Lisa thanked me, and we exchanged contact information to stay in touch. In the following months, Lisa kept me updated. She was rebuilding her life, and Tommy was thriving.

One sunny afternoon, Lisa called and invited me to Tommy’s birthday party. When I arrived, Tommy greeted me with a huge smile. Lisa hugged me again, expressing her gratitude. The day was filled with laughter and celebration. As I watched Tommy playing with his friends, I felt a deep sense of peace and happiness. What began as a chance encounter had turned into a life-changing experience for Tommy, Lisa, and me.
