I heard that too. It's not the first time something like that has happened, and I'm sure it won't be the last either.
Dispatching emergency services should be a given - even if its a crank call or a non-emergency.
Jay Leno had a segment recently on stupid 911 calls. one I remember is the woman who was absolutly panicking about her dog being stolen out of her car. She was frantic until she rememberd that she left the dog at home!
Another woman called 911 because she was afraid she would miss her plane and the cab company that she called had not shown up yet.
But a child calling - obviously it was a young child and even if they didn't believe the crisis and thought he was playing - send he police at least!
