I'm more than happy the kid phoned us - in my eyes he did what any 10 year old would do. As for the police - Much like it's my job to pick drunks up off the street after they have puked over themselves, I don't massively have to like it. What this officer was forseeing was the hours of paperwork and hassle to sort out this problem. He'd do his job, but it wouldn't be as much 'fun' as some of the other things he could be doing. We are all human after all. (I don't find 'Chest Pain' particularly exciting and my heart sinks every time I get one, doesn't stop me doing my job though and being professional about it - same for this oficer)
