Canadian teen calls police after parents ‘forced’ her to go on boring holiday

A Canadian teen girl has been given a caution after she called police to report her parents.

Their crime? Taking her onholiday.

The 15-year-old, from Mississauga in Canada, called the authorities claiming her ‘parents forced her to go on vacation with them".

Ontario Provincial Police, unsurprisingly, confirmed there was in fact no emergency.

Northumberland OPP Const. Stephen Bates said it was ‘a case of a teenager being a teenager".

And while ‘she perceived this as a real issue, it was not an appropriate use of 911", he added.

Officers did check on the situation and confirmed the girl was safe.

Bates told The Star: ‘Calls such as this tie up police resources which could impact the safety of others in the community who are in real need of assistance."
