MOUNT PLEASANT, Wis. (WTMJ) – We can probably all relate to the frustration of discovering that someone has eaten our food without permission.
But this week in Wisconsin, it made a 4-year-old boy so upset that he called the authorities.
After his mother ate his ice cream, the boy called 911 and told them to put his mom behind bars.
An audio recording of the 911 call revealed what happened:
Dispatch: “Hello, this is Racine County 911. What’s the address of the emergency?”
Boy: “My mom is being bad.”
Dispatch: “OK, what’s going on?”
Boy: “Come and get my mommy.”
Dispatch: “OK, what’s going on?”
Boy: “Come get my mommy.”
Dispatch: “Do you know your – Hi, what’s going on over there?”
Woman: “Oh, this little one got the phone, and he’s 4.”
Dispatch: “OK.”
Woman: “And so we’re trying to catch him because he said he was gonna call 911.”
Boy: “No – I called the police and I just told her to come and get my mommy … and I just told her to put her to jail. So leave me alone.”
Woman: “I ate his ice cream, so that’s probably why he’s calling 911.”
When officers arrived at the residence, the child told them he no longer wanted his mother to go to jail.
Police returned the next day with a surprise delivery of ice cream for the boy.
