Girl Calling Sex Assault Hotline Gets Sex Hotline Instead

Posted: 12:46 pm EDT July 24, 2007Updated: 12:55 pm EDT July 24, 2007

A young Florida girl who thought she was calling a sexual assault helpline got the complete opposite on the other end of the phone.

The 8-year-old girl was upset about the inappropriate behavior of another child. So, her mother told her to call the number for the North Central Florida Assault Center listed in the phone book and on the Attorney's General's office website.

The girl had actually called a sex hotline.

"I convinced my daughter this phone call was going to help her, but it made things immensely worse," said the girl's mother, Karen Carter.

It turns out the sexual assault helpline was bought by the company that runs the sex hotline. The number has since been taken off the Attorney's General's Website.
