Nanny 911? Listen to an actual 911 call
Gannett Wisconsin Newspapers
JUNEAU � Need a little help with your kids?
Don�t call 911.
A Dodge County woman � apparently under the influence of a TV show � called 911 this week because she needed a baby sitter.
�I need a nanny,� the woman says. �Yeah, this is a nanny 911.�
The woman goes on to request a baby sitter, help with her kids and someone to keep her company.
In disbelief, the dispatcher informs the caller that isn�t what 911 is for.
After a brief exchange, the woman says �OK� and hangs up.
�That�s just an example of some of the influences television has on some of the things we deal with,� said Dodge County Sheriff Todd Nehls.
The call, he said, came in Tuesday or Wednesday to the dispatch center.
�And this woman was serious,� Nehls said. �If you listen to the call� she�s looking for a nanny. But you don�t hear any kids screaming in the background.�
The dispatcher, he said, handled the call very well.
Police could cite the woman for misuse of 911 or harassing phone calls, he said.
�But with this one, we didn�t push it,� Nehls said. �If she had called back, we may have taken it further.�
