Photo courtesty: City of Brockton (MA)

Massachusetts police get an emergency call from a boy, but find out the child’s idea of a crime doesn’t quite match up with their own.

FOX News Radio’s Chris Hoenig has the story:

Police in Brockton, Massachusetts getting a 911 call from a 10-year-old boy, wanting to report his mother. ?The boy hangs up, but dispatchers call back.

(Dispatcher/Mother) “Hi, this is 911. ?Somebody just called from there?” // “Yeah, it was my son, my 10-year-old son.”

Forcing the woman to explain:

(Mother) “I told him to go to bed and he doesn’t want to go to bed, so he’s like, ‘I’m gonna call the cops on you.’ ?I said, ‘Go ahead.'”

An officer does respond to the house…

(Dispatcher/Mother) “We have to send somebody out, anyway.” // “Okay, that’s fine.” // “Alright?”

…Explaining to the boy when it’s appropriate to call 911, and when it’s not. ?No charges were filed.
