A 12-year-old French boy in the town of St Gervais told police he had been kidnapped in an effort to escape his dentist appointment.
Police were patrolling the town mast month on May 21 when they spotted the youngster hiding. When they asked him what he was doing alone he told them he had been kidnapped and was running away from the child snatchers.
He told them he had been abducted from a nearby town, and proceeded to give police a detailed description of his ‘kidnapper’, describing them as: ‘European looking, aged in his thirties, of muscular build with a height of around 1.70 and a vertical scar on his right cheek.’
The boy also told cops that the attacker kidnapper was wearing a black shirt and tight jeans as police drew up an e-fit image.
Before going as far as giving details of his attackers car, the boy told police he had been on his way to his dentist appointment when the kidnapper had initially stopped and asked for directions.
Police examined CCTV footage but found no trace of the imaginary ‘kidnapper’. They then proceeded to ask the boy more questions, where he revealed he had invented the story as a means of escaping his dentist appointment,
Now we all hate the dentist (and this boy is a bit of a genius) but we hope this youngster got a good telling off from his relieved mum!
