Boy dials emergency services after being told to turn off Xbox

UK police have revealed that a 13-year-old boy dialled 999 after his parents told him off for playing on his Xbox console at night.

A transcript was released of a call-handler ringing back the household to ask if there was a real emergency to which the apologetic father replied: "It was my son. He rang 999 because we were telling him off for being naughty."
