Funny 911 Call

Tonight, the locals got a 911 call. The disatcher called the unit and told them a little boy called and said" momma always tells me to call 911 if i need help, "I need help with my homework".
The officer responded as usual, met the mother at the door, and advised her of the situation. She was unaware of the situation, as the kid was in another part of the house. She advised that she would handle the situation appropriately. ( The kid will probably call in child abuse now.)

    That is funny.
    When I worked at Marion, AL. PD I had a 911 about 2:00AM one
    morning.
    Answered it, a drunk was trying to call his relatives two
    counties from us. He hung up. A few minutes later 911 rang
    again, it was him. He was calling from Long Island, NY.
    We talked for about
    30 minutes LMAO. Too bad that was before taping 911 calls.

    Don't send flowers when I die. Send money now, I can buy more ammo.

    We was "shin-diggin" at the neighbors one night, music cranked, people yakkin and about 10pm theres a knock on the door. Nearest partier opens door to find County Sheriff standing there. Now we are a few hundred yards from nearest neighbor so they didnt call. Seems my 8yr old and their 6yr old decided to test the 911 system, as it was brand new to our area. Sheriff took the boys out and sat them in the car to have a talk ... boy were they good the rest of that night !

    I forgot to mention that the police tried to call back but we "adults" were overcome with 100watts and the kids I think were old enough to know they screwed up and didnt answer the phone, so they dispatched officer. Where I live, they get quite bored anyway ... it was a nice night for ride

    Small mistake in carrying out their duty. You MUST make contact with the caller. No matter what! All 911 calls you WILL make contact with the caller. Of course if it is to help with homework then you treat it as such. No question, and no matter what, you will make contact with the caller.

    I believe Ive heard just about every thing,but for some reason kids do like to call 911,and they usually get scared and hang up.Then when the Dispatcher calls back,Mom or Dad will take care of it.

    I have known adults that have called 911 with pranks or just hang up to see if a leo comes out. How sad is that.

    If you will blame gun makers for every shooting then blame car maker for every car accident.

    We had one just within the last month. Some woman called screaming something about the dog's got my baby. She was hysterical. Officers raced to the scene to find that her ankle nipper (don't know the breed) was under attack by a bigger dog. She had the little squirrel chaser in her arms when the guys got there.

    Mrs Rembrandt answered the door the other day to find a squad car and police at the door. They said they had received a 911 call from our home....naturally she didn't know anything about it. LEO called back in, dispatcher said someone was still dialing 911, but none of our phones were being used. Come to find out some water had gotten in a phone line connection. The phones somehow were automatically programmed to dial 911....good to know someone cared.

    Also cordless phones when battery gets low, will dial 911. In our area you had to determind the scource of the call, so if no one was home you would break in and see where it was coming from. We got very good at using credit cards to open doors, so we would not cause damage.

    I have 11 Speed Dial Buttons on my answering machine.
    The top one is Programmed and Marked as 911 and I painted the button Red.
    Even a Stranger not used to my phone can immediately pick it out from all the other gadgets on my answering machine.
