When we were kids, the last thing we would want to hear from our parents is their scolding and nagging whenever we do something wrong.
A 13-year-old boy was so fearful of getting an earful from his father for coming back from school late that he lodged a fake police report about getting kidnapped.
13yo M’sian boy lies about being kidnapped
According to a statement by Nilai district Police Chief Superintendent Abdul Malik Hasim, he said the boy lodged a report at the Lenggeng police station in Negeri Sembilan, where he alleged he was kidnapped in front of his school.
“In the report, the boy claimed that he was in front of a bus stop at 2.15pm when a white Honda car approached him.
“A man then pulled him into the car, tied his hands, and gagged his mouth.
“The boy also claimed that he was taken to an unknown location but managed to escape,” he said.
Report turned out to be fake
Abdul Malik added that police investigations later found the kidnapping incident to be untrue as the boy had fabricated the story.
He made up the story because he was afraid of being scolded by his father for being late as he was playing at his friend’s house and did not return home on time.
He also urged the public not to make any speculations that may cause public unrest.
