How-Teen's calls to sex chat added up to $2,000 (video)
TORONTO - Tracy Lauren opened her phone bill last week and nearly had a coronary. There, in black and white, was a long list of collect charges from Montreal totally a whopping $2,000. But she doesn't speak to anyone in that city, and neither does her partner. It must be some mistake, she figured, and called Rogers to complain. They gently told the Scarborough mom to dial the number herself to check it out. And then came the second shock: she had reached a phone sex chat line. A loud confrontation with her 15-year-old son uncovered the story: her teen had lied about his age and over the last four weeks had surreptitiously been calling one of those sexy come-hither operators he'd seen advertised on late night TV. He'd dial the number and the sex line operator would then call him back collect. At $2.99 a minute, for a minimum of six-minutes each time, he had racked up four hours worth of expensive dirty talk. "One day he called eight times," says Lauren, 40. "Clearly this was not an accident. He kept calling back."
Not surprisingly, she's furious with her son. "I yelled a lot," she admits. But he isn't the only target of her anger. She's blaming everyone from the phone company to the chat line and even the police for not doing anything to protect her son. The 40-year-old software architect is sickened by what her underage child has heard over the last month. "They say you have to be 18 to use it but it's not enforced," his mother complains. "Everybody knows exposing sexual content to a minor is wrong but you can't fight it. My minor was subjected to who knows what kind of raunchy conversation? It's not okay and I don't even have anybody to yell at." Despite days of digging, Lauren has been unable to track down the nameless company that owns the chat line. And even if she did, no charges would be laid. "I've spoken to five police officers and they say there's been no crime committed because my son lied and said he was 18. That's all that matters." She's also turned her anger on her phone company.
Smuggle-Baby put into luggage
An Arab couple has been charged after allegedly trying to smuggle their five-month-old child into the United Arab Emirates by putting the baby boy into their carry-on luggage. Police said the couple arrived from Egypt on Friday, but the child didn't have the proper visa in his passport. Officials told the couple they'd have to wait at the airport until Sunday. "But the impatient parents waited for the shift to change on Saturday morning at 10, and the father allegedly convinced the mother to join a queue at the immigration counter and place the child in the luggage," police said. According to police, an officer spotted the parents putting the child in the luggage. "The police arrested the parents and saved the child from being exposed to the dangers of radiation," police said. The couple is charged with endangering the life of the child and infiltration.
Wow-Man Demand for pizza and Paris Hilton lead to standoff
A North Carolina man demanded pizza and Paris Hilton, but instead got a face full of pepper spray.
Authorities say 61-year-old Fredrick Denny barricaded himself inside his room at a Hampton Inn Saturday threatening to shoot at police. According to officials, Denny caused a disturbance at the hotel earlier that morning. Multiple agencies including the Regional SWAT Team responded and shut down the second floor of the hotel as officers tried to reason with Denny. News Channel 36 said it learned his demands included pizza and to marry Paris Hilton. After hours of negotiating, he was pepper sprayed and taken into custody. Authorities say Denny has had several run-ins with SWAT Teams in other states. He was later taken to the hospital for a mental evaluation.
Wow-Bachelorette Party Ogles Cops It Mistakes for Strippers
Australian police responding to a call got more than they bargained for when an eager bachelorette party mistook them for strippers. "They nearly had their shirts torn off, but they managed to escape with their dignity intact," watch commander Louise Jorgenson told Australia's ABC News."We thought they were going to be strippers, actually," bride-to-be Wendy Haddon told ABC News, after her party's run-in with police who were responding to a disturbance complaint at Humpty Doo Tavern in Darwin."But, no, they weren’t. Bugger," Haddon added. “They were most excited about the police presence,” Jorgenson said of the party-goers. The police played along in the end, posing for some pictures with the group of women. Police will not take action over the incident, ABC News reported.
How-Strip Club Spender Balks at $50,000 Tab
A Florida man insists you can't spend $50,000 in a night at a strip club — and as a man fond of lavish spending at that strip club, he should know. Lokesh Simon James has sued a Clearwater, Fla., strip club over a $50,000 charge he got for a night he spent there — a night when he says he spent just $600, The Tampa Tribune reported. James, 32, charges in his lawsuit against Bliss Cabaret and a former bartender there that it was impossible for him to have racked up $50,000 when he went alone to the club at 9:45 p.m. one Wednesday night. He says he did spend about $600 on dances, tips and drinks, but $50,000 was charged to his credit card, the Tribune reported. "How many dances would it take before you run up $50,000 at $20 a dance?'' his lawyer said. "Do the math."The club hasn't responded to the suit and did not comment to the Tribune.
Watch-Girl gang allegedly raided a salon and stole hair extensions
A GIRL gang seem to have taken their appearances a little too seriously after they allegedly assaulted the owner of a salon and stole hair extensions. Three women went into a hairdressing salon on Auburn Rd, Auburn in New South Wales and allegedly began stealing hair extensions about 6pm yesterday. Two of them fled the shop while the third girl, a 19-year-old, was allegedly confronted by the salon owner. The owner was able to lock the door before the teenager could escape. A fight allegedly broke out inside the store during which the 19-year-old allegedly forced the owner's face down on the counter bench. Police said the owner managed to grab onto a knife to defend herself, which accidently came into contact with the woman's right hand and cut her. The alleged teenage offender was arrested and rushed to Auburn Hospital for treatment
