Reginald Fields, age 12, of Maple Heights, Ohio, is the proprietor of Mr. Reggie's Lawn Cutting Service. This week, he was also the subject of a 911 call from neighbors who complained he accidentally cut about one foot of grass across the property line in their yard.

Lucille Holt, who had hired Reggie to mow her lawn, caught the situation on camera and shared it on Facebook. Her video went viral, and soon, she said, friends got in touch asking how they could hire Reggie. "People are inboxing me, like, 'How can I get in touch with this children? Where are they at? I got property I want these kids to cut,'" Holt said.
