Why-Boy called Police to complain that his mother keeps Making him do chores

AN 11-year-old German boy called police to complain that his mother keeps making him do chores during his summer school holidays, police in the western city of Aachen said yesterday. "Hello. My mother is putting me into forced labour," began Leon, not his real name, during a 5-minute call to the emergency number 110.Police released an edited transcript of the call before closing the case."What do you have to do?" the police officer answering the call asked the boy."I have to clean up the terrace. I've got to work the whole day," said Leon.The boy's mother, who was standing next to him, explained to police that Leon had been threatening to report her for weeks."Just now, when he was told to pick up a few bits of paper lying round on the floor, he wanted to ring the police. Actually, he plays the whole day long. Whenever you ask him to tidy away his own mess, he reckons it's forced labour.

Amused police said Leon, who sulkily refused to come back to the phone afterwards, appeared to be going through a rebellious phase.

Update-Boulder dumped on ex's lawn in divorce spat

Yesterday In my blog I reported how a Boulder was dumped on ex's lawn. Here is new update

SAINT-THEODORE-D'ACTON, Que. -- A messy divorce got a lot rockier when the mayor of a town east of Montreal had a massive boulder dumped in front of the home where his ex-wife lives.

The rock, spray-painted with the words "Happy Birthday Isa XX," was deposited at the home about 45 minutes east of Montreal. It's not clear if town machinery was used to carry out the act of vengeance.

Dany Lariviere, mayor of Saint-Theodore d'Acton, says he had the 20-ton stone rolled onto the property because his ex has harassed him and tried to ruin his business. "This is the final straw so that my ex-wife will leave me alone," Lariviere told QMI Agency Monday. "She continues to harass me behind by back despite many warnings and legal appeals. This is probably the largest gift she will receive in her life." The woman, Isabelle Prevost, told a local newspaper that she fears for her life and those of her children.

She complained to provincial police, who asked Lariviere to remove the rock. He refused and he's now under investigation for possible mischief or harassment. The couple has been divorced for about a year.

Good-Australian minister fights back at phone scam

A state minister in Australia phoned an illegitimate telephone-scam call centre and wasted 15 minutes of a worker's time - and he wants citizens to do the same. Anthony Roberts, fair trading minister for New South Wales, told Australia's Daily Telegraph the number of phone scam reports doubled in 2011, compared to last year, and it's time to fight back. His main grievance is with operations that pose as divisions of the federal or state government and promise to refund thousands of dollars in over-charged bank fees - but only after the target wires a sum of money through Western Union. Roberts wants people to bombard these scammers with calls. He gave out the phone number and a reference number to quote and said: "I want NSW consumers to melt their call centre down.
