Policeman Says Fake 911 Crash Call A 'Learning Opportunity'

Six Year-Old Prankster Placed 'Phony' Report

We're encouraged to teach our kids to know how to call 911 in an emergency. And we all know how much kids like to play with telephones. But a man in New Hampshire apparently learned something new about cellphones this week -- they make bad toys for kids, even after they're deactivated.

The AP reports the state's emergency call center got a report of a plane crash near Hudson, NH from a 911 caller who sounded like a child. The caller hung up immediately.

There were no other reports from the public, so police quickly determined they were looking for a prankster, not a crash scene.

Investigators traced the call to a deactivated cellphone, and the owner said his six-year-old son had the phone at daycare. The child's teacher talked to the boy, and retrieved the phone from him. Police determined that the youngster did indeed place the call.

Fortunately for the phone's owner, Police Lieutenant Bob Tousignant wrote the incident off as a chance to teach the child about the proper use of 911.
