Boy calls 911 for help with his math homework — and gets it

She’s ready for any emergency — even a math meltdown!

A 911 dispatcher in Indiana sprang to the rescue when a boy called, frantically needing help with his mind-numbing math homework, according to NBC News.

“I had a really bad day, and, I just don’t know,” the unnamed kid told Antonia Bundy, who works for the Lafayette Police, on Jan. 14.

Instead of blowing him off, Bundy asked him how she could help.

“What happened at school that made you have a bad day?” she said, according to a tape of the call, cited by the station.

“I just have tons of homework,” he said. One of the math problems — which centered on fractions — was “so hard,” he said.

When the dispatcher walked him through how to solve it, he thanked her, and apologized.

“I’m sorry for calling you, but I really needed help,” the boy said.

Lafayette Police Sgt. Matt Gard later said it had been a slow day.

“[Dispatchers] do receive some oddball requests,” he said. “But this situation of calling asking for homework help — I’ve been in law enforcement for 13 years and I don’t know I’ve ever heard of this happening.” He called her a “dedicated” worker with a big heart.

The only minus? There are better places to call for help with math, he said.
