Have you ever called the police on you child to scare them?

I haven't had to do that yes. My sister got her kids with a good one once, she told me they wouldn't stop fighting and she said to them if they didn't cut it out she would call the police. They still didn't stop so she pretended to call the police. On her mobile phone she had a siren for a ringtune so after about 5 minutes she played the ringtune. Her kids burst into tears and she started laughing and showed them that it was her phone. The good thing was, the fighting stopped. I think it was a good idea with what you did with your kids. Sometimes a parent can keep saying to their children not to do something and they don't take much notice, but when someone else says something they take more notice. It is scary what kids will do sometimes. I wanted the police to talk to my nephew after he threatened my son with a knife, but the police wouldn't. It might have been enough for my nephew to realise how serious this was.

Yes i also did this one time..We had this little guy across the street that was a doper,and my two boys were out in the woods with this guy and when they came in they were high..My 15 year old was already bad but my youngest son was a really innocent and tender hearted boy,so i called the police and ask them to come and talk to my youngest son and they did..When this officer was done talking to my son,my son was in tears.I agree it was a valuable lesson,and my son now that he is grown up laughs about it now,but he has never done it again and hes a wonderful husband and father to this day...I wonder sometimes if i did the right thing but now i think i did ..
