5yr old calls 911 for Mcdonalds food delivery!

[Orby]

did he get the McDonalds though? :P

[Kuja]

How nice of the cop to bring him food. I guess hunger can be an emergency, as people die to it daily. But that was maybe a bit exaggerated. But kids have done even stupider things at that age, and older. Usually only experience teaches.

[GreenJesus]

The kid was probably told "if there is an emergency or need help call 911". He thought "well I'm hungry and I need help". I think it's cute. He is only 5. Teach him what it is actually for and leave it alone.

Kent County dispatch contacted Wyoming police who sent Officer Dan Patterson to check on the boy, WZZM reported.

On his way to check on Iziah, Patterson stopped by a local McDonalds and picked something up.

"I figured hey I'm driving past McDonald's on my way there and I might as well get him something," he told the station.


That was nice of him.

You know when I first started hearing about things like this, one of the times it was some kid calling 911 for help with homework, another because his father ran a red light or something.

Is it cute or funny on it's own? Yes

Is it actually funny or cute that this could keep someone who really needs it from getting help? No

Sorry while this is still kind of amusing, the fact is we have adults actually calling 911 for stupid shit like Subway not getting their order right. Yeah this shit needs to stop, it's not actually that damn funny. Especially when people doing this under less cute circumstances, decide to use these circumstances as a defense.

lmfao kids a genius

Inb4 $30000 ambulance bill for the grandmother.

Hey I only had to pay $1500 for an ambulance that was called on me for having a seizure when I quit alcohol cold turkey xD I didn't even use it..

[Crissi]

Thats both funny and cute, but I hope the grandmother / parents reinforced "an emergency means you or someone else got really badly hurt" and not just "Im super hungry".

I....may have done something similar when I was 6. Called 911 randomly but then hung up and hid under the couch because I thought Id get in trouble. Given no cops visited I assume I actually hung up before it connected.

why did you call 911? (did you miss a sailor moon episode? )

[Dwarfhamster]

Well that escalated quickly.

It's MMOC-GenOT. Everyone has the correct opinion on everything and is an expert on everything, and everyone else is an idiot.

[Crissi]

I cant even remember. I think I was just curious.

but yes, missing an episode is completely an emergency.

[Dald]

You sure he didn't call 911 after getting a heart attack from eating McDonald's instead?

I don't think it just up and kills you immediately, at 5 years old anyway.

This is an example of perfect citizen relying on the Government from his earliest days

I like that the officer actually brought him some McDonald's, very peculiar.

The cops in my town literally sit around. Ive caught a few of them out playing pokemon go when I walk around to play. I know some of them. Small towns have bored cops, who knew. I think the last time the cops here actually had something to do was when the main road flooded from a storm and they had to redirect traffic? That was last November.

[MatthewOU2015]

5 years old is old enough to know calling 911 is for emergencies only. This story isn't cute or funny. This kid will now think its okay to call 911 since he got food out of it.

[Najnaj]

Amusing? Interesting? What is amusing or interesting about some retarded kid calling 911 and hogging resources from those who actually need it?

Glad to see you are as furious and pointless as always. When you out stupid Fox you might just stop and think for a bit.

I get why they'd do it. A kid calls and says they are hungry. There's a small chance that they being neglected or was left at home without food. Cop stopped by just to be sure.

Guys, if the kid was actually taking up city resources they'd just hang and not respond to the call...Kids have made dumber, more irrational mistakes. Hell, adults do all the time.

[Celista]

I think people are being too hard on the 5 year old if the cop had time to pick up McDonalds before heading over there.

Yeah I feel like that was probably the wrong call to make on the part of the cop, although it's a nice gesture.

[Veggie50]

ok... "kid does silly thing, more news at 11."

There is no reason to think some malignant thought pattern led this kid to dial 911. He probably doesn't know better. Adults are often crap at explaining stuff. If an adult has told him "you call 911 when you really seriously need help" that can be interpreted by a child in a multitude of ways.

Keep in mind children don't have the reference pattern that we do. Hunger could well constitute an emergency. Childrens minds rarely go to serious injury and/or death, and if they do the kid probably needs professional help.

So... this was silly, no evidence of evil/callous intent, and no harm done.

Image someone calling a 5 year old retarded because he got hungry. Is this really what the internet has become. Sometimes, after reading crap like this I wish I didn't even know what the internet was. It seems to always bring out the idiot in someone. Go ahead, let your smart ass comments fly. Right now I could care less. On second thought, do your worst.

How does one go to grandparents house and stays hungry ?
