A California middle school has apologised after a horrifying error saw a phone sex number provided to students in place of a suicide prevention hotline.
Students at New Vista Middle School were provided with the number on the back of the student ID cards and when one young girl called
the number, she was shocked to hear a sexually explicit message.
The girl's mother, Janene Lavelle, told ABC7 that her daughter called the number "for kicks" and then quickly told her what she had heard.
Lavelle was shocked to hear "some recording for, you know, like, hey hot stuff, something, something like that".
"I was just kind of flabbergasted. I was very surprised.
