Many of us have struggled with mathematics as a subject in our school days. While it is common to seek help from peers and teachers alike to beat the 'maths stress', a child in Indiana went a little too far in his quest to solve his 'maths problem'. The unidentified boy called up a police emergency number of Lafayette Indiana Police. Antonia Bundy, who answered the call, was praised by many after the conversation between the two was shared by the official Twitter handle of Lafayette Indiana Police. Though the department shared the voice clip, they clarified that the emergency telephone number should not be used for "homework help". Our dispatchers never know what the next call might be.They train for many emergency situations, homework help is not one they plan for. We don't recommend 911 for homework help but this dispatcher helped a young boy out and brightened his day.@PoliceOne @apbweb @wlfi @WTHRcom pic.twitter.com/w3qCYfJP7O — LafayetteINPolice (@LafayetteINPD) January 25, 2019 Talking about the incident to CBS news, Bundy said that her conversation with the boy was a "nice break" from the usual busy day. "It kind of takes the pressure off of it a little bit. Not too much, but just a little bit to be able to relax to take a step back and truly figure out what he needed and truly spend time with him and assist him in the best way I could." The tweet, which went viral with over 1,200 likes, has left many praising Bundy for her response to the little boy's problem. "911 is the center of all emergencies. This dispatcher clearly understands that it may not be an emergency to us but it is to somebody. Great job helping this very stressed young man in his time of need," read one of the many supportive messages on the post. Awwwwww. 😂😊!!!! HAHA! The dispatcher is so nice! Protect her at all cost!!!!! <3 — Paku 🌼 👻👠✍️ (@PakuLeeee) January 30, 2019 This made my heart happy. #bekindtooneanother — Tamara Griffin (@TamaraG63949552) January 30, 2019 Touching random act of kindness. — Paul Reese (@pjcreese) January 30, 2019 This is so sweet. A child calling 911, because they had a bad day and the operator helps him with his homework. I'm so glad that the little boy reached out and so happy that someone was there to help him. This is how community helps to lift each other up. — Maria Mazzone (@mazzone_maria) January 30, 2019 It may not be an emergency/problem for her, but it is for him, and this lovely dispatcher was there to help him out. She did not complain or shoo him away. She helped 💕#OneActOfKindness — ⋆ 🎀 𝒜𝓊 𝐵𝓇𝒾𝑒𝓁𝒶 🎀 ⋆ (@aurorabmunchkin) January 30, 2019 This is really sweet.
