So, i saw in the news that this kid doesn't wanna go to bed early. So what he did is call the 911 and hung up on it. Of course the Police will go to there house. And when the Police arrived, the mom told the Police the problem and ask him to explain to his son that what he did is wrong. All that stuff just because this kid doesnt want to go to bed. Your thoughts?

I would call this abusing the emergency response system. Where I live we would face a possible fine for calling 911 for that reason. I found the best way to get the kids to go to bed earlier is chase their butts out of bed early in the morning.

It will be abuse if the kid will keep doing it over and over again. I just really hope the kid will learn his lesson.

I agree with abusing the emergency response. The police has nothing to do a parent's responsibility. How you handle the child is your own problem. If the child doesn't want to go to bed then try making a bargain or you can try to do ways to exhaust the child like playing with them or do activities that are strenuous to the point where it's lights off by the time they hit the hay.

OMG! Someone should be in jail for abusing 911. So the kid called 911? Or the parent? The kid should get a stiff talking to, at least. No kid wants to go to bed early. I used to have to be in bed by 8 pm when I was little and by 10 in high school. It was just a rule and I knew I had to live by it.

It was the kid who dialed 911 and hung up the phone. It is really crazy.

My first thought on this is that Mom and Dad need to pay more attention to their children and then something like this would not happen.
However, I do know that there is probably at least one time that every child will try to call 911. For my daughter it was when she was about five years old and she was watching Home Alone at her grandmother's house while grandma was in the shower and Kathryn decided to dial the phone number and see what would happen. Afterward she was so embarrassed that she just wanted to come home because everyone got a laugh out of it.

Some kids they are just too energetic to sleep early. They are also pretty ignorant and mindless that they would do certain things without taking the consequences into consideration. Calling 911 without proper reason can get a family into trouble. At least in my place, if one called 911 for no proper reason, one can be fined for thousands of dollars, or sentenced to jail for a year, or both as punishment. So this is not a matter that can be joke around. It is best that children be educated not to ever make such call.

Seriously? Call 911 because of a kid refusing to sleep? Come on! Haha! As parents, there must be lots of ways to handle the behavior of the child.
My thoughts? I don't know exactly what to think about these parents, maybe they lack the so-called common sense? I'm not sure.

Nope! It was the kid who dialed 911, not the parents.

Yeah, though they are kids, they deserve the same degree of respect and right every other person deserves. Next time the parents will meet his needs or apologize him for not meeting those needs.

Kids should be taught of using the emergency number just in case. ANd with that, parents should inform their children that the number should not be used in any other way.

A lot of kids don't like going to bed early. Depending on the age of the child less sleep is better for them but having a good routine is great and you have to fit kids some times about it. But explaining why you wouldn't call 911 unless it'd an emergency should be explained at a you g age.
