When a German boy phoned to complain he was being made to do "forced labour," police were alarmed. But it turned out the 11-year-old had only been asked by his mother to help clean up at home.

When a German boy phoned to complain he was being made to do "forced labour," police were alarmed. But it turned out the 11-yearold had only been asked by his mother to help clean up at home.

The boy from the western city of Aachen phoned on Monday to make his complaint, adding that his mother "made him work all day", police said.

"I have to work all day long. I haven't any free time," the boy told police.

But his mother, who was not identified, told police her son had been complaining over the summer holidays of having to help around the house, and had repeatedly threatened to call the police over such "forced labour."

When she asked him to pick up paper on the floor, he dialed the 110 police emergency number.

"He plays all day long and when told to tidy up what he's done, he calls it forced labour," police quoted his mother as saying.

Reminds me of the time when my sister was 3 years old and rang 999 calling the police a fat duck. They came round our house immediately saying she'd called them a fat fuck, but of course when my dad asked for their tapes to prove it they backed down. They still gave her a telling off though :laugh:

She said they got all butthurt and came to the house immediately. Am guessing anyone would know a 3 year old is a kid over the phone, so thought maybe it was a good guess and they were fat judging from the quick response.

My teenage daughter did almost the same thing. She called the police and said she was being abused. The police came and explained to her that it is not abuse when your parents won't buy you another pair of  designer jeans.

Am just wondering to myself... how many phone calls like these do the police get on a regular basis?

Maybe they have an official Child Discipline Unit (CDU) to handle them.  :LOL:

Gee, that would speak volumes about a parent if they had to contact a "CDU" to handle their child, more than it would the child.

That's a good point actually.

Calling the police over things like that is "normal" child behaviour because in their logic police probably = a higher authority.
So in some bizarre way they are actually proving they have a grasp on authority because something they think is unfair they are reportng to an authority :laugh:

Although on the other hand , it is always good to call in help if you are struggling as a parent rather than just try to tough it out I guess.  :dunno:

My daughter had never actually called the police herself, but she says she wants to call the police all the time over relatively minor upsets.  I think that's a good point that she sees the police as a sort of higher authority.

Maybe that's the same mindset that the woman had who took her six year old daughter to the police station to tattle on her for doing something naughty and wound up arrested for child endangerment and involved with Child Protective Services.

Poor kid.
:agreed:

I think that the mother had some crazy idea that she could scare her daughter into behaving better, since a similar ruse worked for a friend's child.  However, I think letting a young child believe you will abandon them is a terrible idea that's bound to backfire in all sorts of ways.

I have to say I have done something sort of similar before when my daughter was running away from me and I couldn't catch her.  I called out after her, "Have a good life, Sweetie!"  Then she turned around and ran back to me, outraged with me for saying that to her.

It was, because I couldn't catch her.

I tried the same thing on the beach in Delaware when she was running away because she didn't like that it was getting dark and the beach was closing, but I guess she couldn't hear me because she kept right on running.  I had to run back and get my husband to chase her down and catch her.  I'm not a fast runner.

I had heard that comment used, but wasn't sure if it was real or not. Here, they just tell you not to swim after dark because of the chance you will get lost in the water, and no-one can rescue you.

What is probably meant, is the lifeguards go off duty at sundown. And that is fair enough.

We had just been told by some lifeguards or park rangers in a vehicle driving on the beach that the beach was closing and that we had to leave.

My husband and I walked along a beach at night when we were on our honeymoon in Cancun and that was pretty fun for us, since there weren't many other people there, but I get your point.

Went with 2 girlfriends to the beach one year in the "off" season.

Used to sneak out of room at 1:00 am and go sit on the beach by myself.
I think it was supposed to be closed...stars + ocean + NO people = awesome.

One of my best memories.

BTW,  :welcome:  to Intensitysquared.

It was just another drama queen moment in a life full of them. We had to move to a cheaper area when we lost a lot of our money and she blamed us for making her leaving her friends. Later we found a boy in her bed at 2:00 am and when we kicked him out, she stole our car and drove over 200 miles away back to our old town. She caused an accident on the way so the police stopped her and called us. She told her counselors at school how mean we were to her and that we wouldn't let her go to college (a lie). We let her use our car to go to work at McDonald's and then learned that she was letting all her friends drive it. She was also having sex with co-workers in the freezer room! She hated us so much that we let her move out before she turned 18. Then she told everyone that we kicked her out. My parents believed her and blamed us and decided to drop us out of their lives. Then she had a baby and moved near my parents. They co-signed on a student loan and a car loan for her, and again blamed us for not co-signing ourselves. When her baby was 5 she decided that she was tired of being a parent and asked everyone in the family to take my grandchild. We couldn't take her because my husband has a progressive disease and needs quiet. She finally got the father's stepmother to take her. Then my parents decided that to cut her out their lives but they never admitted to us that they were wrong. All this time I always gave my daughter money when she needed it. She complained about my parents and I reminded her how much they had helped her - her response "what have they done for me lately?" not kidding!
She isn't autistic; why would you think that? Autistic kids wouldn't do something like that. I know because I have one. Once my disruptive daughter left, he was so much happier and calmer. We all were.
She is a pathological liar. Everyone believes what she says because she believes it herself. Guess what she is doing now? Going to law school - the perfect career for her!
Thanks for the welcome.

I hope that your daughter does well in law school.  I know someone who went to law school when he was a little older and now he's a lawyer who does pretty well.  How old is your granddaughter now?  Do you and your husband get to see her?

Kit probably wondered whether or not she was autistic because she wondered if maybe your daughter called the police because of a similar literal mindset that my daughter has of police being authority figures who can fix almost any situation.

I hope that your daughter does well in law school.  I know someone who went to law school when he was a little older and now he's a lawyer who does pretty well.  How old is your granddaughter now?  Do you and your husband get to see her?

Kit probably wondered whether or not she was autistic because she wondered if maybe your daughter called the police because of a similar literal mindset that my daughter has of police being authority figures who can fix almost any situation.


Yeah exactly and this is an autism forum so it will always make me wonder. Plus autistic parents are more likely to have autistic kids.

My teenage daughter did almost the same thing. She called the police and said she was being abused. The police came and explained to her that it is not abuse when your parents won't buy you another pair of  designer jeans.

What did you do after the police left?

BTW,  :welcome:  to Intensitysquared.

It was just another drama queen moment in a life full of them. We had to move to a cheaper area when we lost a lot of our money and she blamed us for making her leaving her friends. Later we found a boy in her bed at 2:00 am and when we kicked him out, she stole our car and drove over 200 miles away back to our old town. She caused an accident on the way so the police stopped her and called us. She told her counselors at school how mean we were to her and that we wouldn't let her go to college (a lie). We let her use our car to go to work at McDonald's and then learned that she was letting all her friends drive it. She was also having sex with co-workers in the freezer room! She hated us so much that we let her move out before she turned 18. Then she told everyone that we kicked her out. My parents believed her and blamed us and decided to drop us out of their lives. Then she had a baby and moved near my parents. They co-signed on a student loan and a car loan for her, and again blamed us for not co-signing ourselves. When her baby was 5 she decided that she was tired of being a parent and asked everyone in the family to take my grandchild. We couldn't take her because my husband has a progressive disease and needs quiet. She finally got the father's stepmother to take her. Then my parents decided that to cut her out their lives but they never admitted to us that they were wrong. All this time I always gave my daughter money when she needed it. She complained about my parents and I reminded her how much they had helped her - her response "what have they done for me lately?" not kidding!
She isn't autistic; why would you think that? Autistic kids wouldn't do something like that. I know because I have one. Once my disruptive daughter left, he was so much happier and calmer. We all were.

It's been a little over a year since she abandoned her daughter. She claims that she will take her back after she finishes law school, but the main reason she abandoned her was because her new boyfriend doesn't like kids and she wanted to follow him to New York where he was going to law school. He is going to NYU and he has already completed one year. Apparently he is very smart because NYU is one of the top law schools. My daughter got into Fordham, which is still a  good school. She just started, but I have no doubt that she will do well. She has an IQ over 145, and we were warned when she was young that kids with high IQ's are tougher to manage.
My son is only mildly autistic and he has a literal mindset in some ways. He was arrested as a juvenile so he doesn't have that view of the police. His crime was that he was convinced by a friend to graffiti their school, which is a felony in California. With his friends, he always took the path of least resistance. His main problem is his inability to relate to people. Social situations make him nervous and he doesn't understand the appropriate things to say a lot of the time. The worst time for him was when he was in high school, because the teachers, even though they knew he had a problem, still took his behavior personally and assumed that he was capable of changing it. He is very stubborn and it is very hard to change his mind. He can take it to extremes, and would rather starve than give in (for example). Despite his issues, he is quite good with computers and runs his own website which earns enough to support him.
I get to see my granddaughter occasionally. She lives quite close but her guardian isn't very good at returning my calls or leaving time in her schedule to fit me in.

I'm sorry that you don't get to see your granddaughter very often because her other grandmother won't make the time for you to do so.  I think that the more people who can love and support her and make her realize how precious she is, the less likely she is to be damaged from the abandonment by her mother.  Given your daughter's  relationship history, maybe the new relationship with the boyfriend at NYU won't last any longer than law school does and she can raise her daughter then.

Thanks for the support. We are all very surprised that my daughter's relationship with her boyfriend has lasted this long.
I'm not sure that it wouldn't be more damaging to my grandchild to have her removed from her stable home with her grandmother and returned to her mother, even if my daughter really wants her.
