SHAWANO COUNTY, Wis. - A Shawano County sheriff's deputy is being hailed for going above and beyond the call of duty for a 10-year-old boy stressed over math.
The deputy recently responded to an unusual 911 call. The 10-year-old boy called to say that he needed help with his math homework. He stated his family "wasn't very good at math either" and he needed help.
A post on the Shawano County Sheriff's Office Facebook page says the deputy in his report indicated "personally, I am also not overly proficient when it comes to math, but nonetheless, I responded to assist."
The deputy and young boy worked together and solved the decimal-related math problems.
