A four-year-old boy in Wisconsin called 911 after his mother ate his ice cream, expressing his disappointment and requesting her arrest for the perceived theft. During the call, the boy insisted on the need for police intervention, showcasing his innocent view of justice. An audio recording captured the exchange, where the mother explained the situation to the dispatcher. When officers arrived, the boy ultimately decided against pursuing the matter further. The following day, police returned with a special treat—ice cream for the boy—as a lighthearted resolution to the incident.
A four-year-old boy from Wisconsin recently made a 911 call after he found out that his mother had consumed his ice cream, as reported by CNN. The little boy was evidently upset and disheartened upon realizing that his treat had been taken without his consent. In his frustration, he reached out to emergency services, asking them to arrest his mother for the alleged theft. While the incident may appear humorous to some, it highlights the pure and earnest way children perceive fairness and justice.
An audio recording of the 911 call, acquired by CNN, captured the exchange:
Dispatch: “Hello, this is Racine County 911. What’s the address of the emergency?”
Boy: “My mom is being bad.”
Dispatch: “OK, what’s going on?”
Boy: “Come and get my mommy.”
Dispatch: “OK, what’s going on?”
Boy: “Come get my mommy.”
Dispatch: “Do you know your – Hi, what’s going on over there?”
Woman: “Oh, this little one got the phone, and he’s 4.”
Dispatch: “OK.”
Woman: “And so we’re trying to catch him because he said he was gonna call 911.”
Boy: “No – I called the police and I just told her to come and get my mommy … and I just told her to put her to jail. So leave me alone.”
Woman: “I ate his ice cream, so that’s probably why he’s calling 911.”
When the officers arrived at the scene, the boy had a change of heart and decided he no longer wished for his mother to be taken into custody. The following day, the police returned with a delightful surprise—a delivery of ice cream for the little boy.
