In a charming turn of events, a young girl in South Carolina found herself in a bit of a pickle when she faced a wardrobe malfunction. Little Mia Thompson, only 2 years old, recently learned how to dial 911 and didn’t hesitate to reach out for assistance when her outfit wasn’t cooperating. The outcome? A delightful friendship!
We’ve all had those mornings where our clothes just don’t fit right or where our favorite shirt is a mess from breakfast. Imagine being able to call someone directly for help in those moments! That’s exactly what happened to Mia this past Wednesday when she struggled to put on her pants just right.
According to reports by local authorities, the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office received a 911 call but couldn’t decipher what the tiny voice on the line was saying. Thankfully, Deputy Sarah Jenkins was nearby and decided to investigate. “When I arrived, she was at the door with her pants half on, saying she couldn’t get them on. So, I sat down and helped her out,” Deputy Jenkins recounted.
Once they tackled the pants situation, it was on to the next challenge: tying Mia’s shoes! Mia, clearly pleased with her new helper, then asked for a hug, which Deputy Jenkins described as “the highlight of my shift.”
Mia’s mother, Lisa Turner, later shared the amusing incident on her Facebook page, saying, “My little Mia thought it would be a good idea to call the police while I was at work.” Unbeknownst to them, Mia’s grandfather was home, completely unaware of her 911 call. While Lisa had taught her daughter how to dial emergency services, Mia was still learning when it’s appropriate to use it.
This is a gentle reminder to parents about the importance of teaching children the right context for calling 911. Kids often play with phones, and calls to emergency services can happen by accident. “We usually tell them, ‘This is for emergencies only,’ but she’s just 2,” Deputy Jenkins explained to local media. In fact, over 250,000 accidental 911 calls were made in Greenville County in just one year!
Deputy Jenkins didn’t mind the little girl’s call at all; in fact, it warmed her heart. “It reminded me of the times I was that little girl dialing 911 just to see police officers come to my house,” she shared.
