“She had some time available, so she asked, ‘Can I help you with the problem?’ The child then presented a complex problem involving decimals, which she found challenging to resolve. Consequently, she suggested, ‘Let me see if I can find a deputy near your location,’” Shawano County Sheriff’s Office explained to the media.
Deputy Sheriff Chase Mason, who was nearby, volunteered to help with the math problem.
“I am not particularly adept at math, but I decided to assist,” Mason noted in his report regarding the incident.
Mason, who has a stepson of the same age as the young caller, worked with the child and successfully solved the decimal-related math problems. The Facebook post concluded by stating that the young caller received a business card and was advised to use the non-emergency line for future inquiries that do not involve life-threatening situations.
