Life Adventures in Parenting, Episode #3467, the 911 hang-up call. - Page 2

JOhn · 03-06-2011, 09:10 AM

So I'm at work this morning and my neighbor calls and says there are 3 cop cars at my place. OK I instantly panic as my 14 y/o daughter and her friend are there watching the boys since I had to work. Well I call and my daughter says they ar...e OK, but the boys were calling 911 from my old disconnected cell phone.
Apparently the boys, 5 & 11, woke up at 4am and called 911. They called 21 times!!!!
At some point the dispatcher was able to talk to my son & ask were his parents were. He told them his sister was watching then, but wouldn't wake her up because she would be mad!! This happened over several different calls, all the while my son is whispering so as not to wake up his sister.

Anyway, they had to track the call via GPS and had to knock on every door at my apts to find were the call was coming from. Luckily the PD who came down to my work, 2 blocks away, was very cool about the whole deal. He gave the boys a stern talking to and no one is getting in trouble. .... well at least not by the PD. Oh and the neighbors all love me now.......

The boys will be writing a letter of apology to the PD & Dispatch center.

Or they were avoiding a BS larceny/cold call waiting for them. Hoping someone in a sister beat would handle it.

Tax dollars at work man!!
