HUNTSVILLE, AL. — An 11-year-old boy gets high marks in storytelling after staging a hoax to cover up his bad grades. Police said the boy faked his kidnapping Friday to avoid bringing home a bad report card, saying that a man with a pistol snatched him after he left Ed White Middle School. The boy said the man forced him into a “beat-up car” and threatened to kill him.

The student said he escaped by jumping out of the car but wasn’t able to grab his bookbag, which contained the report card.

He ran to his grandparents’ house and later confessed to lying. His grandfather called police to apologize.

Sgt. Mark Roberts said police were suspicious that the boy was able to “escape” with his band instrument, but not his bookbag.

Roberts said the boy faces no charges at this time.
Well, he's creative if nothing else.
 
Sxephil talked about this on YouTube.

That kid is an idiot.
 
If he used that story in English class his grades wouldn't be that bad I guess.
 
I think the boy should receive the maximum sentence for grounding for his little lie. :hehe:

What? No T.V for 5 minutes? Parents these days don't punish their kids, that's why their all snot-nosed, lying brats.

My sister still whoops her kids asses and puts them in the corner, or sets their asses straight, she doesn't care the time or place.

And the people around her look at her in horror and disgusted because of it.

Parent's simply don't punish their kids anymore.

Your sister has the right idea.
 
I mean, my nephews (she's blessed to having nothing but boys. :oldrazz:) are all really good kids, they're just young boys, they act up from time to time.

And my sister let's them know that her name is the Lord when she lay's her vengeance upon thee.

The bad grades must have been in math :o

It's so true that so many kids are brats because they're not punished. Too many parents give in to the screaming kids in walmart asking for toys.
I never gave into that and my kids know when I say NO I mean NO.
They're very well behaved for 10 yr old and 7 yr old boys
 
I got spanked as a child and I turned out (relatively) normal. Its funny, because I was in a Walmart with my mother the other day and this little girl literally flopped on the floor screaming and slamming her fists because she couldn't have Polly Pocket. My mom was like "If I were her mother, I would give her one good slap to the face. I don't give a damn who's watching." :hehe:

The boy should become a fiction writer. I wonder how horrible his grades were that he decided that staging a kidnapping was a good idea, though.
 
I love stories like these

EDIT: love them so much, I said it TWICE!

You and I are probably long lost siblings. My mom would say the exact same thing! :wow:
 
My mom's favorite line was "Oh you wait until we get back to the car."

I wanted someone to kidnap me at gunpoint after she said that. :wow:

I have children now, and I've been thinking about how I'm going to raise them even though they are still very young. I just know that I don't want spoiled, misbehaving kids as my children, so I'll try to use declipline and conducts to make sure they grow up with the right attitude.

Oh man, it's world war 3 when they go shopping at wal mart...

Yeah, my mom AND dad were like that, my dad used to be like the Ultra Produce manager at the Wal Mart here and it was oddly enough by the toy section. So he'd see all sorts of outlandish and annoying ****. He'd come home knowing we were never like that. He and my mom taught us while we were young. :p I mean, sometimes, I'd go with him shopping for stuff and I'd see a toy and I'd really want it for reasons beyond me and, I'd ask him and, if the price was right. He'd buy it, if not, we'd get something cheaper.

He always picked out the sickest most raddest toys.

We realized I was grown up when I was like "Toys are gay, I want models to build". My first model was a B-28 bomber. :)

I love stories like these

Twice even! :hehe:

Bwahaha! I went to that school for one year in 7th grade. That area is not the part of town you want to around during night. I learned more from that school about gangs, violence, drugs, sex and such than watching TV. My parents quickly pulled me out after one year.

I can't say I'm surprised to hear this story coming from that school.

So True!
I got the leather belt when my dad spanked me. Man, I didn't give him many opportunities to spank me, I was a good kid.

That's how it is with my kiddos. They ask and I either say yes, or no, or how about this instead (lower priced item) and they always say thank you.

They're really great kids.
 
We knew better not to ask for toys or candy or pets. My dad had an answer for all of them.

"Dad can I have that toy?" No thats a waste of money, go kick your soccer ball around, thats more fun.

"Dad can I have candy?" It'll rot your teeth boy and you'll smile like your grandma.

"Dad can I have a pet?" Why would I need pets when I have three kids who act like dogs?

:doh:
