Dad arrested after police say he called ‘18 or 19 times’ in less than an hour to complain about his son’s homework

An Ohio dad was arrested after repeatedly calling a school — and then the police — to complain about his child's homework, police say.

Detective Sergeant Adam Price of the Oxford Police Department tells TODAY.com that Adam Sizemore called the police approximately “18 or 19 times” in less than an hour.

"It was disruptive," says Price, adding, “This is a a K-5 school so there is not an abnormal amount of homework."

Sizemore tells TODAY.com in a voicemail that "most" of the accusations aren't true.

"I'm a single dad of a boy and a girl and I'm just trying to do the best I can and that's all I can do," Sizemore says. "People make mistakes."

According to a police report sent to TODAY.com by the Oxford Police Department, on Feb. 29, Adam Sizemore “repeatedly” called Kramer Elementary School in Oxford “because his son gets homework which takes away from the time he has with him after school.”

Sizemore was trying to reach Principal Jason Merz, who was unavailable, according to the police report. After Sizemore was transferred to Merz's voicemail, the report says he started calling the school repeatedly.

"During these conversations, Sizemore cursed at the secretaries while making demands of them," the police report states.

According to the police report, a school resource officer spoke to Sizemore “several times" on the phone, instructing him to stop calling.

The officer said that he noted that Sizemore's speech was slurred, asked Sizemore if he was intoxicated and Sizemore clarified that he was “high.”

That officer wrote in the police report: "Sizemore continued to curse at me and call me names, such as 'B****,' He also told me he was going to make sure I lost my job. I explained to Sizemore if (he) called again, I would file a Telecommunication Harassment charge on him. I ended up hanging up on him. Sizemore called right back with the same behavior he was warned about."

Two officers paid a visit to Sizemore’s home but he did not answer the door, according to the report. When one officer returned to school, Sizemore was still calling.

The report stated that Sizemore eventually spoke to Merz, stating he did not want his son to have homework and started cursing at him; Merz ended the call.

On March 1, Sizemore resumed calling Kramer Elementary School, according to the police report. Principal Merz told police that Sizemore said in a voicemail: “I hoped that you (Merz) put on your big boy britches on today and have a conversation like a big boy.” Merz told police that he was concerned that Sizemore would come to the school.

That day, Sizemore placed approximately 18 or 19 calls to the Oxford Police Station, Price tells TODAY.com.

"This is Adam Sizemore," a man identified by police as Sizemore said in a voicemail audio file sent to TODAY.com by the Oxford Police Department: "You've got a little bit of an a** chewing coming because of your employees — the ones I pay for — so if you could call me back ..."

The father continued calling the police, in an attempt to reach the chief, and was transferred to the chief's voicemail, according to police.

In body camera footage sent to TODAY.com by the Oxford Police Department, Sizemore is placed under arrest outside his home.

Price tells TODAY.com that Sizemore was charged with two counts of telecommunications harassment (a first-degree misdemeanor) and one count of menacing (a fourth-degree misdemeanor).

According to Price, if Sizemore is found guilty, he faces a maximum $1,000 fine and up to six months in jail for each count of telecommunications harassment; for the menacing charge, Sizemore faces a $250 fine and up to 30 days in jail.

After his arrest, Sizemore was taken to the Butler County Jail. Price says Sizemore is no longer in custody, although he could not confirm whether Sizemore made bond or was released by a judge. Sizemore's next court date is March 28.

A spokesperson for the Talawanda School District tells TODAY.com it has no additional information beyond what's in the police report.

The spokesperson adds, "I will share that we have received similar calls and messages to those received by the Oxford Police Department, to both our superintendent and the principal at Kramer Elementary."

Ohio Dad Arrested After Repeatedly Calling School Complaining About Child’s Homework: Police

Adam Sizemore faces charges of menacing and telecommunications harassment

Butler County Jail

An Ohio father was arrested after he allegedly called his son's school and local police several times to complain about homework, authorities tell PEOPLE. 

Adam Sizemore allegedly placed the calls to the Oxford school between Feb. 29 and March 1, the Oxford Police Department says. 

He first called the school and demanded to speak with the principal, who was unavailable to speak, police allege. He then spoke with several staff members, allegedly “becoming disruptive to school staff and becoming rude while using curse words,” the department alleges. 

He allegedly continued his “tirade” into the next day when he kept calling and cursing at staff and the principal, police claim. 

He then allegedly began calling the Oxford Police Department, doing so 18 times in less than an hour, per the department estimate, the spokesperson says. 

He was later arrested and booked into the Butler County Jail, per police, and charged with two counts of telecommunications harassment and one count of menacing.

Sizemore has since been released and is scheduled for a court appearance later this month, when he will enter his plea. Oxford Police tells PEOPLE there is currently no record of an attorney in his case file.

If convicted, Sizemore faces up to six months in jail and a $1,000.00 fine for each count of harassment and up to 30 days in jail for the menacing charges, according to police.

A Child Called 911 To Get Help With Their Math Homework

“You said if I need help to call somebody.”

A child struggling to solve a math problem called the people they’d been taught were always there to help: the police. Audio of the child’s 911 call was shared on TikTok by @911_stories_ and may serve as a reminder to parents to be a little extra thorough in how they explain when little ones should dial those three numbers.

The child’s call to 911 begins like most 911 calls do — with the dispatcher identifying themselves as 911 and asking what the caller’s emergency is.

“I need some help,” the child responded.

“What’s the matter?” the dispatcher asked.

“With my math,” the child said. “I have to do it. I have takeaways.”

Luckily for this child, the dispatcher seemed more than willing to offer a bit of homework help. “Oh you gotta do the takeaways?” the dispatcher said. “OK. Tell me what the math is.”

“Here’s one,” the child responded. “Five takeaway five.”

“And how much do you think that is?” the dispatcher asked.

But before the pair can work out the correct answer, a caretaker (perhaps the child’s mother?) confronts the child about being on the phone: “Joni, what are you doing?

View on TikTok

“The policeman’s helping me with my math,” the child responded.

“What did I tell you about playing on the phone?” their caretaker asked.

“You said if I need help to call somebody!” the child said, passionately defending themselves.

“I didn’t mean the police!” their caretaker said just as the call cuts off.

Although it’s unclear when or where this 911 call took place, this isn’t the first time a child has sought homework help from 911 . In January 2019, a dispatcher in Lafayette, Indiana, took a call from a boy who just needed to tell someone that he’d “had a really bad day” at school. “I just have tons of homework,” the boy said. “[It’s] math and it’s so hard.”

“Is there a problem you want me to help you with,” the dispatcher, who was identified by the Lafayette Police Department as Antonia Bundy in a tweet sharing audio of the call, asked. Bundy then coaches the boy through a fraction addition problem and checks to make sure that’s the only problem he’s having trouble with before hanging up.

In 2018, NBC 4 reported a child in Fort Collins, Colorado, called 911 seeking help with their division homework . “Hi, this isn’t an emergency, but I’m 10 years old and I’m working on my math homework right now and I can’t figure out what 71 divided by 3,052 is,” the news outlet reported the child asked.

While Fort Collins Police used the call as a chance to remind people that 911 should only be contacted for emergency situations, that dispatcher also took a moment to help the 10-year-old work out the answer.

Of course, police don’t recommend children call 911 for anything other than true emergencies. Kids Health recommends that along with teaching children how to call 911 , parents should coach kids on what qualifies as an emergency situation where a call to 911 is warranted.

Dad arrested after continuously calling school about child’s homework, complaint shows

OXFORD, Ohio (WXIX) - A father’s growing frustrations about the amount of homework his child’s school was assigning led to the dad being arrested.

Adam Sizemore is accused of repeatedly calling his child’s school to complain about the amount of homework, according to Oxford police.

Criminal complaints filed against Sizemore claim he threatened the school principal saying he “better put his big boy pants on.”

When the school stopped answering Sizemore’s call, police say he started calling their department.

“He calls dispatch, I think it was 18 times roughly,” said Oxford Police Detective Sgt. Adam Price.

In the audio records from the police department, Sizemore can be heard becoming frustrated that dispatchers are not telling him their names.

He’s audibly frustrated that he keeps getting the chief of police’s voicemail and that he can’t speak with him directly.

Below is a transcribed portion of one of the calls:

Dispatcher: “Leave a voicemail if he doesn’t answer.”

Sizemore: “I’m being very nice.”

Dispatcher: “Well, then come to the police department and we’ll call the chief in, and you can talk to him in person but I’m not calling him on the phone.”

Sizemore: “He can come to my f****** house. I pay for him. He can come to my house.”

After repeated calls, Sizemore did not get the chance to speak with the chief, but he did get to speak with officers.

In more audio recordings, a dispatcher tells Sizemore that they will send out officers after his repeated calls to the department.

“That ultimately ended when we took him into custody for telecommunications harassment as well as a menacing charge,” Sgt. Price explained.

Sizemore was charged with two first-degree misdemeanors for telecommunications harassment, according to the criminal complaint. The menacing charge he faces is a fourth-degree misdemeanor, the complaint shows.

10-year-old boy calls 911 for help with math but don't try this at home

A 911 dispatcher whips out his calculator to help division-challenged boy.

A 10-year-old Colorado boy called 911 for help with his math, and it paid off.

Fort Collins police have just released audio of the call picked up by dispatcher Chris Clow.

"Hi, this isn't an emergency but I'm 10 years old and I'm working on my math homework right now and I can't figure out what 71 divided by 3,052 is," the boy told Clow, who took the April call.

(MORE: Firefighters hailed for saving unborn baby after mom fatally shot in domestic dispute)

Clow first realized that boy, whose name was not released, had actually confused the numbers and that he needed to solve 3,052 divided by 71, not the other way around.

After asking a few questions, Clow came back with the answer: “It’s 42.98, which you would round up to like 43.”

“Thanks. Thank you,” the boy said.

Clow was unavailable to comment but police spokeswoman Kate Kimble told ABC News the department occasionally gets calls from people who are not experiencing an emergency.

And, like this time, dispatchers will try to accommodate the caller, she said.

“A lot of times their dispatchers will take that opportunity to educate them about the right and wrong reasons to call 911,” Kimble said, adding that dispatchers will try to help if they have time.

“Sometimes, as in this case, they feel like people might just need a little bit of compassion in the day and if things aren't busy, they're willing to help them out."

Taking it all in stride, Fort Collins police provided a nonemergency number on their Facebook page for those who are in need of help but cautioned that homework does not fall under their purview.

“From an early age, kids are taught to call police if they need help. This particular problem wasn't the kind we typically handle, but we're glad Dispatch was able to help solve it,” Fort Collins Police Services wrote on its Facebook page. “Disclaimer: Not all dispatchers are as skilled in math and/or readily equipped with calculators as Dispatcher Chris. Please only call 911 for emergencies.

“You can call us at 970-419-FCPD for non-emergencies, though it should be noted that FCPD is not responsible for incorrect homework answers. If you or your child believe you need police assistance with an assignment, please contact your School Resource Officer during school hours. They love talking to their students about pretty much anything.”

This is one call that dispatcher Clow won’t soon forget. “He said this is one that's memorable for him, for sure,” Kimble said.

Cop Helps Girl, 10, With Math Homework After She Messaged Police Department on Facebook

A 10-year-old Ohio girl took to heart the old adage, "if you need help, find a police officer," seeking out local cops to lend a hand in solving her tricky math  homework .

Read: Police Build Kitty Condo for Stray Cat That Has Been Visiting Department For Years

Lena Draper, 10, of Heritage Elementary School in Marion, was struggling with the order of operations unit in her math class late one night, when she decided to go online to look for help .

“I saw [the Marion, Ohio Police Department] on YouTube, when a boy, a first grader, called the police with a problem,” Lena told InsideEdition.com. “I thought they would know math, and they do.”

So, she decided to go out on a limb, and message the local law enforcement on Facebook.

“I’m having trouble with my homework. Could you help me?” Lena wrote in a Facebook message .

Lieutenant B.J. Gruber, who has been with the department for more than 20 years, wrote back and walked her through the equation.

“This is probably the most unique message I’ve ever had,” Gruber told InsideEdition.com. “This is the exact environment we try to nurture – this sense among children that not only can you come to us if you have a problem at home or at school, if we have time, we can answer homework questions too.”

Gruber, who is a father of four, said being able to help a young kid in need was just an added bonus.

“I love the idea of feeling like we’re meeting needs within the community,” he explained. “I love kids .”

However, Gruber joked he could probably use some help next time a student asks him about homework.

“The fact that I gave her a wrong answer was kind of tough,” Gruber laughed. “Math’s the other side of the brain – I’m more of a creative type.”

Even so, Lena’s mom Molly Draper said she was amazed at how willing their local police department was to extend a helping hand, even if it wasn’t a matter of public safety.

“I didn’t believe [my daughter] at first until she showed me,” Draper said. “I am glad they took the time, because they have other things to do, but I thought it was fantastic.”

Gruber said he plans to surprise her at her school on Tuesday with a T-shirt and other goodies, to show the police department is supporting her every step of the way.

Outrage at teacher's comment on boy's maths homework as dad calls for her to be fired

Chris Piland's son was tasked with solving as many subtraction problems in three minutes from a list of 60, but his teacher clearly wasn't impressed by his efforts

• 11:58, 20 Apr 2019
• Updated 21:15, 20 Apr 2019

A dad has started a petition for his son's teacher to be sacked after seeing the comment she wrote on his maths homework.

Chris Piland was shocked when he saw the feedback on Kamdyn's test criticising his efforts.

The second grade children, equivalent to year 3, were tasked with solving as many subtraction problems in three minutes from a list of 60 as they could.

The teacher wrote: "Absolutely pathetic he answered 13 in 3 min! Sad" with a drawing of a sad face.

Chris, who lives in Pennsylvania, was so outraged by the comment he decided to set up a petition calling for her to be fired, which now has more than 15,000 signatures.

Sharing a photo of the homework, he wrote: "My son Kamdyn's teacher has been so rude to him and myself all year.

"He comes home with this and I am beyond frustrated that someone would write this on a child's work. Such great motivation."

Chris has since posted an update to say the school board is investigating.

He wrote: "Thanks to all the efforts and support of the dedicated people who signed and shared this petition, I'm happy to announce that the teacher in question is currently being investigated by the Valley View school board."

Many people have been shocked by the teacher's message.

Commenting on the petition, one woman wrote: "I don’t even have a child and this is sickening to me. This is so beyond unprofessional and just wrong."

Another added: "No teacher has the right to write such awful comments on a young child's work."

School superintendent Rose Minniti said: "It's a personnel issue and the results of that are not going to be dictated by social media", reports Mail Online .

"It's going to be dictated by the facts and evidence.

"As always with everything, we're going to try to do what's best for the students and what we need to do for the employee under investigation."

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — A Virginia teacher who was shot and wounded by her 6-year-old student said she has had four surgeries and is going through a challenging recovery.

Speaking publicly for the first time since the Jan. 6 shooting, first-grade teacher Abby Zwerner said during an exclusive interview with NBC’s Savannah Guthrie that she has some days when she “can’t get up out of bed,” while others she is able to go about her day and make it to appointments.

“For going through what I’ve gone through, I try to stay positive. You know, try to have a positive outlook on what’s happened and where my future’s heading,” Zwerner said in a portion of the interview that was aired Monday on “NBC Nightly News.”

Zwerner was hospitalized for nearly two weeks after being shot in the chest and left hand as she taught her class at Richneck Elementary School in Newport News, Virginia. The shooting rattled the military shipbuilding community and sent shock waves around the country, with many wondering how a child so young could get access to a gun and shoot his teacher.

Zwerner’s attorney, Diane Toscano, told reporters in January that concerned staff at the school had warned administrators three times that the 6-year-old had a gun and was threatening other students in the hours before Zwerner was shot. Toscano said the school administration “was paralyzed by apathy” and didn’t call police, remove the boy from class or lock down the school.

In early February, Zwerner’s legal notice of her intent to sue the school district said the boy who shot Zwerner had constantly cursed at staff and teachers, tried to whip students with his belt and once choked another teacher “until she couldn’t breathe.”

Two days before the shooting, the boy allegedly “slammed” Zwerner’s cellphone and broke it, leading to a one-day suspension. When the boy returned to her class the following day, he pulled his mother’s 9mm handgun out of his pocket and shot her while she sat at a reading table, the legal notice said.

The Newport News School board fired its superintendent in the wake of the shooting. Ebony Parker, an assistant principal who was a primary focus in Zwerner’s intent to sue notice, resigned.

Newport News’ top prosecutor said earlier this month that he would not seek charges against the 6-year-old because the child lacked the competency to understand the legal system and what a charge means. But Newport News Commonwealth’s Attorney Howard Gwynn said his office hadn’t decided if any adults would be held criminally accountable.

The boy used his mother’s legally purchased gun, according to police. James Ellenson, a lawyer for the child’s mother, stated in January that the weapon was secured on a high closet shelf and was locked away.

Ellenson said it was unclear how the boy got access to the gun. He also said that the boy “was under a care plan at the school that included his mother or father attending school with him and accompanying him to class every day.”

In a statement released through Ellenson, the boy’s family said the week of the shooting “was the first week when we were not in class with him. “

“We will regret our absence on this day for the rest of our lives,” the statement said.

More of the interview with Zwerner will be aired during the “Today” show Tuesday morning.

‘They're screaming': 911 call reveals aftermath after 6-year-old boy falls off roller coaster in Florida

A 911 call released by police revealed the moment a park employee talked with a dispatcher as the boy was heard screaming and crying in the background, by gerardo pons • published august 10, 2023 • updated on august 12, 2023 at 4:40 am.

Police in Florida have released body cam footage showing officers treating a child after falling from a roller coaster last week.

Florida officials say the 6-year-old boy was hospitalized on Aug. 3 after being found suffering "traumatic injuries" 20 feet below the tracks of a roller coaster at the Fun Spot America Amusement Park in Kissimmee.

"The child fell off the ride. Right now, we have him on the floor. They're screaming. We're trying our best not to move him," the employee replied. "The child is awake."

Body cam video footage also obtained by WESH-TV shows the moment officers prepared to transport the boy to a hospital in Orlando as they secured the area.

Though officials did not initially reveal the boy's condition, a woman from Louisiana identifying as the boy's grandmother told NBC affiliate WVLA-TV the 6-year-old is now home recovering.

WHERE BLACK CULTURE, COMMUNITY AND CONSCIOUSNESS MEET

Sign up for essence newsletters the keep the black women at the forefront of conversation., real talk: should teachers call the cops on 6-year-old students.

Over the last few weeks, a couple stories have emerged about schools seeming to over react to misbehaving students. In mid-April, a six-year-old girl was handcuffed and arrested in Georgia. She was charged with simple assault and damage to property, although she will not have to go to court because of her age.  Instead, she was suspended and cannot return to school until August. Later that month, a six-year-old was arrested at an Indiana school and charged with battery and intimidation.

Many heard of these stories, saw (or imagined) pictures of the cute cherub-cheeked kids and were outraged by the punishments. The girl, Salecia Johnson, drew particular sympathy once she was seen on TV describing how her principal called the police on her “for no reason,” she told WMAZ- TV. “It [the handcuffs] was hurting my arm.”

Her mother, Constance Ruff, described being “terrified” and “shocked” that her daughter had been arrested “just because of misbehaving at school.”

With those sympathetic details, many wondered why teachers didn’t call the parents when the kids acted up — in Johnson’s case, they did call her mother, who did not answer, say school officials — try more patience, or offer an old-fashioned tongue-lashing to put the students in their place, since they’re, you know, children. It’s what I thought too… until I heard the details.

Johnson wasn’t “just” misbehaving. She tore items off the walls, threw furniture and knocked over a shelf that injured her principal. The Indiana kid kicked his principal and threatened to kill his assistant principal. In a previous incident  — one where he was not arrested — he bit and kicked a staff member at his elementary school. Does that change your opinion on how the teachers reacted?

It changed mine, sort of. Though I understand and sympathize with the frustrations of overworked and grossly underpaid teachers and administrators, involving the police was not the best way for these situations to be handled. Nor was it the best way to serve the children involved, which should be the ultimate goal. The children are in dire need of a therapist to help them address their anger in constructive ways, or a social worker who can investigate what’s going on in their home-lives that have made the children think that violent behavior is acceptable, even at school. 

Neither of these kids are the type that I would want in a classroom with a child I care about. If they’re flipping out on adults, I’m more afraid of what they would do to someone their own size. Knowing the details, I’m less outraged that the police were called to deal with the situation. The students may be young, but undoubtedly they were exhibiting criminal behavior. I don’t condone calling the cops, but I do understand why they were called. As I followed the story, I found that many readers also thought about the same. As one commenter put it: “At age 6 or 16, violence is violence.”

Father arrested after continuously calling school about child’s homework, police say

OXFORD, Ohio ( WXIX /Gray News) - A father’s growing frustrations about the amount of homework his child’s school was assigning led to him being arrested.

Adam Sizemore is accused of repeatedly calling his child’s school to complain about the amount of homework, according to police in Oxford, Ohio.

Criminal complaints filed against Sizemore claim he threatened the school principal, saying he “better put his big boy pants on.”

When the school stopped answering Sizemore’s call, detectives say he started calling their police department.

“He calls dispatch, I think it was 18 times, roughly,” said Oxford Police Detective Sgt. Adam Price.

In the audio records from the police department, Sizemore can be heard becoming frustrated that dispatchers are not telling him their names.

He was audibly frustrated that he kept getting the chief of police’s voicemail and that he can’t speak with him directly.

“He can come to my f****** house. I pay for him. He can come to my house,” Sizemore was heard saying in a transcript of one of the calls.

After repeated calls, Sizemore did not get the chance to speak with the chief, but he did get to speak with officers.

In other audio recordings, a dispatcher told Sizemore that they would send out officers after his repeated calls to the department.

“That ultimately ended when we took him into custody for telecommunications harassment as well as a menacing charge,” Price explained.

Sizemore was charged with two first-degree misdemeanors for telecommunications harassment, according to the criminal complaint. The menacing charge he faces is a fourth-degree misdemeanor, the complaint also shows.

6-year-old boy sworn in as honorary police officer in south Chicago suburb

By Ashley Schiedenhelm

Updated on: April 9, 2024 / 10:41 PM CDT / CBS Chicago

LYNWOOD, Ill. (CBS) -- A young boy took home a big title Tuesday in the south suburbs.

Keyjuan Andrewin, 6, became an honorary Lynwood police officer Tuesday. He was sworn in officially by Lynwood Mayor Jada Curry before his own parents, the Lynwood Board of Trustees, and Lynwood residents.

Keyjuan was born with a rare cardiac defect called hypoplastic heart syndrome. He has undergone more than 58 medical procedures and 15 surgeries.

But none of that has stopped him from pursuing his wish to become a police officer.

"Since he was 2 years old, he wanted to be a police officer," said Keyjuan's father, Dujuan Andrewin. "So I'm very excited."

There wasn't much time for celebration, as Keyjuan went straight to work as a patrolman. He got to ride in a real squad car through the village.

6-Year-Old Massachusetts Boy Calls 911 On His Dad... For Running A Red Light

Overnight Editor, HuffPost

Better watch what you do around kids or they just might contact the police.

Robbie Richardson, a 6-year-old Massachusetts boy, recently called 911 to complain that his dad had run a red light.

"He tells me, ' Hey Dad, you just went through a red light ,'" Robbie's father, Michael Richardson, told CBS Boston. "And I said, ‘No Robbie, you can go through that one as long as you stop and there’s nobody coming you can go.' He says, 'No you can't. That light was red.' So we get into the car wash and he says, 'I’m going to call the police.'"

Robbie kept his word. When they got home, he called 911. The Quincy Police Department released the call on YouTube.

“ My daddy went past a red light ," Robbie said. "He has a black truck. He was in the brand new car, my mommy’s car.”

"And then what happened?" the dispatcher asked.

"And he had to go to the car wash and then he went past the red light."

That's when the police asked to speak with Richardson, who apologized.

Dinner must've been awkward that night.

" Everyone follows the rules, but not Daddy ," Robbie told the Boston Globe, adding that if it happened again, he wouldn't call the police. "I'll call the eye doctor so he can fix his eyes."

Not surprisingly, Robbie wants to be a police officer when he grows up.
