SOMERVILLE, MASS. (WHDH) - A boy in Somerville, Massachusetts, who made a series of prank calls to 911 wrote an apology to the Somerville Police Department and promised to never call again unless there’s an “emerginsy.”
After numerous prank calls were made to the department, an officer was dispatched to the school where they originated to drill home the message that 911 should only be used during an emergency.
A few days later, one of the students, 10, delivered a handwritten apology note.
“I did something bad. I called 911 for no reason. It was a really bad idea. I don’t know why I did it,” the note read.
He ended the letter by writing, “Thank you for everything you do to keep us safe.”
As a joke last week, a few students made prank calls to 911. Ofc. Isaacs made his way over to the school, he was able to locate the parents of the students and speak with the students about the importance of 911 for emergencies. A student was so sorry, he wrote to Ofc. Isaacs+SPD pic.twitter.com/sij2urLmHh
