Florida girl struggling with math homework puts ‘help me’ sign in apartment window

A maintenance worker noticed it Thursday and called 911.

When deputies arrived, they found a 10-year-old girl in a struggle -- with her math homework.

"When her mother sent her to a room to finish the assignment, the girl decided to take an unorthodox approach," the Collier County Sheriff's Office said on social media. "She wrote her impassioned plea on a piece of paper then stuck it against the window in her room."

Deputies were empathetic to the girl’s frustration.

"In fact one of our deputies gave the girl his personal cell phone and said she could call anytime with questions to avoid another 911 situation," officials said.
