Boy calls cops on father, then apologizes

The Ulsan Dongbu Police Agency / Yonhap

A 10-year-old boy in Ulsan called police and reported his father for hitting him, authorities said Thursday. But officers left the scene after they learned that the father had given the boy a “noogie” with his knuckle.

The Ulsan Dongbu Police Agency said that the boy was being scolded at after playing computer games for too long, and that his father used his knuckles to make a twisting motion on the boy’s head.

Soon after, the boy picked up the phone and called the police.

"We received a call from the boy and when we got to the scene, the boy and the father both admitted what they did wrong," police officials were reported as saying.

"There are no signs of injuries nor child abuse, so we just gave the father a warning."

The police reportedly informed the father of possible punishments for breaking child abuse laws.
