(name withheld), 5, 2020. Thank you. We run over to 600 South West and Freeman. We have gotten three 911 calls from a very young child, calling from a tone we can't call back, so I'm guessing it's deactivated. On Monday, we had multiple calls from this number, like six to eight of them. And they're all mapping at this address. Would you let the parents know that even if the phone's deactivated, it can still call 911 and to maybe take it away? 10.4. I'll be on 97. 10.4, thanks, 1222.
