Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office Shares Heartwarming 911 Call of Kid’s Hug Request

Manchester Comes Together to Remember Victims Of Terror Attack. Law enforcment need hugs to. Just like the Florida kid said in the 911 call.

In the world of law enforcement, this story is melting even the toughest of cop hearts. When Deputy Pracht of Hillsborough County responded to a mysterious 911 call, he expected high stakes and adrenaline-pumping action. Instead, he got a dose of pure sweetness.

According to WFLA, Pracht rushed to a disconnected call in Riverview, only to discover it was a little boy with an unusual emergency... He needed a hug. This kid dialed 911 not because of a life-threatening crisis, but because he needed some good old-fashioned snuggle time.

911 Call for Hug:

The heartwarming encounter was captured by Pracht's body camera and the mother's Ring doorbell, so we're not making this up! The boy bolts to the door, his face beaming with joy, and wraps his arms around the unsuspecting deputy. And if that's not cute enough, the boy boasted, "I know what your phone number is... it's 9-1-1." Hey, it's the thought that counts, right?

Deputy Pracht wasn't just a recipient of the most unexpected 911 call ever... He also became a part-time teacher. He explained to the kiddo that 911 is the real deal, meant for emergencies, not just hugs. But he did it with so much love that we're convinced even the toughest criminals would reconsider their life choices after witnessing this hug-fueled lesson.

Sheriff Chad Chronister couldn't help but gush about the incident. He commended the young child's kindness and emphasized that while deputies are all about spreading love and hugs, 911 is a lifeline reserved for emergencies only. But if you're craving a cuddle from the long arm of the law, fear not, because the HCSO Christmas Tree Lighting is just around the corner, and they promise to provide hugs, not emergency services. Mark your calendars, and get ready for a warm and fuzzy holiday season!
