A Massachusetts family got the Halloween scare of a lifetime by getting lost inside a dark and creepy Salem-area corn maze and had to call 911 for rescue.
Danvers police say they got a call of distress from a mother of two about 6:32 p.m. Monday. The woman alerted the 911 operator of their situation in the Connors Farm in Danvers, a short distance from Salem...
He said a Danvers police with a tracking dog quickly plunged into the depths of the maze with a farm manager to search for the disoriented dad, mom and two young kids.
Within a minute or so upon arrival, the police officer located the family. The family didn't realize they had almost made their way out; they were just 25 feet from the street, Connors said.

Massachusetts family was 25 feet from the street. Oh, for crying out loud, it's corn. It's not like it's cement walls. Walk through the stalks. The probably voted for Uncle Teddy.

I got lost in a corn maze once of course the corn was mash and it was 2 years old. ;-)

I dunno. Corn fields tend to give me the creeps.

Pro Tip: Hold out one arm and touch a wall (or corn). Follow the wall.

One thing I am curious about. Are all 911 calls in the public domain? I find that a little disturbing only because if someone calls with a true emergency I’m not sure why that needs to possibly be public? I have been sort of bothered by this.
Oh and yeah, this particular call seems pretty silly and a waste of the 911 system.

All these sorts of out door mazes are dangerous. The Gov't needs to do something. What about the children?

My point stands. There’s no damned way my wife would make that call while I was there and conscious.
