Ana Laura had been looking for work for several days and couldn’t find any.
That day, at her home in Mexico, there was nothing left to feed her daughters. She is 35 years old, had no other options, and called 911. It wasn’t because of a crime or a fight: it was because of hunger.
Officers from the Women’s Protection Police arrived at her home and verified the family’s financial situation. They left, but came back with a supply of basic necessities and cash.
The story was applauded, but it also sparked numerous reactions on social media. How many calls like this are never heard?
