Mother wanted poison info, got phone sex instead

[Jaded]

ANDALUSIA, Ala., May 18 (UPI) -- An Alabama mother says she was offered the wrong kind of assistance when she called a poison control center and instead reached a phone sex line.

The unnamed Covington County mom said she was trying to get in touch with the local poison control center after she saw her 2-year-old daughter holding a carpenter crayon that contained lead, the Andalusia (Ala.) Star-News reported Friday.

"I called the number and they asked me if I was horny. I got another phone book and redialed the number, but I got the same message," the mother said.

It is reported the 2008-2009 Pioneer Directories' Covington County phone book accidentally listed the number of an adult chat line in place of the number for the poison control center.

The mom said she got assistance after calling the Children's Hospital and she let Pioneer know about the number mix-up.

A Pioneer spokesperson said the company was working to find a solution for the typo.
