The boy had threatened to call the police having complained of having to do housework during his summer holidays, his mother said as she stood next to him when he made the call.

Police said that the boy sulkily refused to come back to the phone after his mother spoke to the police and noted that he appeared to be going through a rebellious phase, the Sydney Morning Herald adds.
