Manny Beshara is a 5-year-old from Orlando, Florida who called 911 because he was hungry for pizza. In an audio-clip shared of the dispatch call, Manny can be heard saying, ‘I want you to bring me a pizza please.’
Pizza is the universal favourite food. And this kid went to great lengths to get his slice of pizza.
Talking to Manny’s sister Madonna, she revealed that she had left her brother for a little while to make him a bowl of cereal. In that small minute Manny got a hold of his sister’s phone and dialed 911. Madonna recalls the incident,
Two seconds later I answered (the phone and it) was the sheriff’s department. I was like, ‘oh God, what did he do?’
The stars of the show were the three police officers who responded to the call and conducted a well-being check. And they bought a large pizza and personally delivered it to their house.
Along with the pizza, the policemen also delivered an important lesson – that 911 is only for emergencies. Manny also returned the favour, as he delivered 2 large pizzas to the police station along with his sister and mother. Sanford Police Chief Cecil E. Smith said,
I think the little man understands now what 911 is about. Having the officers go out and have that life experience with the young man — that is outstanding.
