Students called a teen suicide hotline listed on their ID cards. It was sex hotline instead.

What they discovered on the other end of the line was something very different.Emily had unintentionally called a sex hotline.

"I was pretty shocked — it was kind of disbelief."Lavelle said she wanted to call the school district right away, but since it was after hours, she decided to post a picture of the back of the ID to Facebook, where it went viral.Facebook took down the post showing the back of the card and offending number Wednesday. Lavelle said she received a message saying the post "goes against our community standard on adult sexual solicitation."Lavelle told CNN she has not heard personally from the school district, but the superintendent of the Lancaster School District issued a statement apologizing for the error."Late Monday evening we were made aware that the middle school student ID cards, which have information for emergency resources listed on the back, have the wrong phone number listed for the Suicide Hotline," superintendent Michelle Bowers said in a statement. "We are very sorry for this error, and we are working hard to correct it. The phone numbers have two digits transposed and this is a mistake.
