911 dispatcher helps boy with homework

LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — Police dispatchers are trained to deal with a number of situations, and a dispatcher in Indiana had to know her numbers when a boy called 911 seeking help with his homework.

Antonia Bundy answered the call from the boy, who said he had “a bad day at school.” It seemed he had “tons of homework” before the dispatcher narrowed down that he was having trouble with fractions.

An audio recording of the call shows how the dispatcher helped the child solve the equation: three-fourths plus one-fourth.

She had him take out a piece of paper to figure out the answer: one.
