According to Ontario Police Constable Stephen Bates, had a similar case last Tuesday when officers responded to an emergency call feom a 15-year-old only to find out there was “no real emergency”.
Bates said, “This appeared to be a case of a teenager being a teenager. Although she perceived this as a real issue, it was not an appropriate use of 911.”
Ontario police confirmed that the girl was safe, and interviewed all occupants to confirm that it was just a family vacation.
“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,” Bates said.
