According to reports, police in Nova Scotia revealed they received a call on Tuesday night from a child who complained that their parent served them salad for dinner, which they disliked.?
¡°While many can relate to the dislike of a salad at times, this raises a more important issue that warrants discussion at all ages,¡± a statement from Royal Canadian Mounted Police said.
¡°The improper use of 911 is an issue with all age groups and it ties up valuable resources, preventing emergency first responders from dealing with real emergencies.¡±
However, calling 911 for trivial matters is restricted not just to children.
Police used the incident to encourage parents to have a conversation with their children about the right reasons to call 911.
