Ayon sa Facebook post, sinabi ng bata na kaya ito humihingi ng tulong ay dahil wala siyang malapitan.
Saad sa post: “His family wasn't very good at math either.”
Sinabi ni Sheriff George Lenzner na ipinaliwanag ng dispatcher na si Kim Krausena sa bata na ang 911 ay hindi ginagamit para sa mga homework.

Gayunpaman, nag-offer pa rin si Kim ng tulong sa bata.

Isinama ni Chase ang kanyang stepson na halos kasing-edad ng bata.
Ayon pa sa Facebook post, ang 10-year-old boy ay binigyan ng deputy sheriff ng business card at sinabi ritong ang 911 ay laging handang tumulong.
Pero ipinaalala rin dito na sa susunod ay sa non-emergency line tumawag kung hindi naman life-threatening ang sitwasyon.

Marami naman ang nag-point out na “emergency” para sa isang bata ang pag-solve sa math problem.

“Good thing I remember the non-emergency line.”
Paalala naman ng isa, “Let's wake up. Math is the responsibility of our broken educational system.
