BOY CALLS 911 OVER GIFT OF SNOW PANTS

A 7-year-old boy in Canada called 911 on Christmas morning at around 8 a.m. to complain about one of his presents. He had gotten some snow pants and wanted to let authorities know that they were “not appreciated.” Ontario Provincial Police Sgt. Kerry Schmidt later spoke to reporters about the importance of treating 911 seriously. “Parents or caregivers need to make sure their children understand the consequences of calling 911 and what constitutes an emergency,” he told CTV News. “Kids need to realize that calling 911 is critical and serious. We don’t want to waste resources going after calls that aren’t an emergency.”
* Yes, but to a 7-year-old the snow pants took the place of what could have been a really cool gift.
