Your comment confused me, the article says the kid in the U.K. called the local police department so until I read this I assumed they googled the local number and dialled the police directly internationally, not going through 911. But it sounds like that would have got them 911? Here it would just get you the guy at the front desk in that station. I am surprised if it’s possible for someone in the U.K. to call 911 and get “911 stateside” and not redirected to 999 in the U.K.?
