    I think the identity of the hoaxers should be made public. Maybe someone will name them, even if not officially..

    OK they are only 10, but that's old enough to know the difference between right and wrong. I think they need to learn that there could have been consequences to what they did.

    I wonder if ten years from now these kids are going to look back and laugh.. "oo, do you remember that time we called the emergency services and pretended to be a 3 year old, and everyone got involved looking for the mum.."

    I'd like to hope their parents have been 'spoken to' as well..

    As others have said, it's quite disturbing that two ten year olds not only came up with this but, mainly, went through a 33 min phone call without giggling or giving the game away!

    Little bloody mares! They should have their ears clipped by their parents. The police should put them in the cells for a day!

    :mad: Posted it all over fb page, shared it on my friends profiles.....all for two children making a mockery of the emergency services! :mad:

    Where is the respect? Hope the parents deal with this suitably.
