Girl Calls 911 After Knocking Over Elf On The Shelf

A 7-year-old girl in the US panicked after she touched her Elf on the Shelf and called police for help.

In the popular Christmas book, the elf loses its magic if it is touched or moved. So, after Isabelle LaPeruta accidentally knocked her family’s elf from its perch, she worried her actions might not go down well with Santa.

Cue the 911 call. Once she got through to the operator, she started to second-guess her decision.

“Don’t come to my house,” she said to the operator during the call. She explained that she was “trying" to call her dad to tell him about the incident and accidentally dialed 911.

Police are legally required to investigate emergency calls, so an officer showed up at the young girls residence.

"The officer got there and the little girl came out and was trying to shush him away and saying "you can go now,'" police said.

Isabelle’s mother woke up from a nap to find her daughter urging a police officer to leave.

"She was hysterical crying; she was panicking," The mum said.

Isabelle said she didn’t tell her mum because she didn’t want to get in trouble.

"She knows 911 is just for emergencies, but in her mind she was scared to death that Christmas was ruined and Santa wouldn’t come,"

On Tuesday night, police and the fire department made sure Santa made a special trip to Isabelle's home.

“Santa went right to the door, and said, ‘Everything is okay, don’t worry about the elf.”

SUPER CUTE! So many warm fuzzies!
