In Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, a rather unusual 911 call originated from a distressed 4-year-old. The source of his upset? His mother had dared to eat his ice cream.
The child, in his moment of indignation, dialed 911, requesting that law enforcement “come get” his mother. Upon the dispatcher answering, the 4-year-old declared, “My mom is being bad.”
Attempts by the dispatcher to gather more information were met with the child’s repeated demand, “Come and get my mommy.”
Fortunately, before any serious misunderstandings could occur, the mother intervened, grabbing another phone within the home. “Oh, this little one got the phone and he’s four,” she explained to the dispatcher. “We’re trying to catch him because he said he was gonna call 911.”
Even with his mother on the line, the child maintained his stance, stating, “I just told her to put her to jail. So leave me alone!”
The mother then clarified the situation, admitting, “I ate his ice cream, so that’s probably why he’s calling 911,” eliciting laughter from the dispatcher.
By the time officers arrived at the residence, the young caller had reconsidered his desire for his mother’s incarceration.
