A mother and her three children were able to get help in a hostage situation by ordering a pizza.

The lady got into an argument with her boyfriend, who's also the kids' dad, and he went nuts. Using a large knife, he held her and the kids hostage for almost a day.

Eventually, baby daddy got hungry and allowed her to use an app on her phone to order from a local Pizza Hut.  While entering her order, she added the words "Please help. get 911 to me." The crew at the location that received the order saw the message, recognized her as a regular customer and called the cops. Now, he's in jail and she and the kids are fine.
