In a charming twist of events, a spirited 2-year-old girl named Mia Thompson from South Carolina recently dialed 911 during what she deemed a ‘wardrobe emergency.’ The adorable incident not only resolved her clothing dilemma but also led to a heartwarming friendship with a local deputy.

We’ve all had those mornings when our favorite outfit just doesn’t cooperate—whether it’s a pair of jeans that refuse to fit or a beloved shirt smeared with breakfast. But wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could just call someone for help? That’s exactly what Mia did on a Wednesday morning when she found herself struggling with her outfit.

According to local reports, the dispatchers at the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office initially couldn’t decipher Mia’s 911 call. Luckily, Deputy Sarah Jenkins was nearby and responded to check on the situation. “When I arrived, she was standing at the door with her pants halfway on, exclaiming that she couldn’t get them up. I sat down on the steps and helped her with her pants,” Deputy Jenkins recounted.

With Mia’s pants finally sorted, the deputy moved on to the next ‘fashion emergency’—tying Mia’s shoes. “Then she asked me for a hug, and honestly, that was the highlight of my shift,” Jenkins shared with her colleagues, who later posted the cheerful story on the department’s social media.

Mia’s mother, Linda Foster, also chimed in on her own Facebook page, recounting how Mia had accidentally called the police while her grandfather was watching her at home. Although Linda had taught her daughter how to call 911, Mia didn’t quite grasp the concept of when it was appropriate to use that number.

It’s crucial to educate children about the importance of emergency services to prevent mix-ups like this, which could lead to unintended calls. Deputy Jenkins noted that the majority of accidental calls usually happen when children are playing with phones. In fact, there were over 250,000 unintentional 911 calls in Greenville County last year alone!

Despite the mix-up, the deputy cherished the moment, expressing empathy for Mia. “I remember being that little girl who just wanted to see a police officer at my house,” Jenkins recalled fondly. “It was a joy to help her.”
