An Ontario teen was reprimanded by police officers after she called 911 saying she was forced to go on vacation with her parents.

Northumberland provincial police received a call on Aug. 16 from a 15-year-old Mississauga teen who was in the Trent Hills area at a rental cottage with her family. She told officers that her parents had forced her to go on vacation.

According to Const. Steve Bates, when police arrived at the cottage, the teen’s mother answered the door with no knowledge that her daughter had called the police.

Bates told CTVNews.ca in a telephone interview that when officers arrived, the teen simply said that she didn’t want to be there. Other family members were also present.

Police determined there was no emergency and the teen was cautioned about the proper use of the 911 system.

According to Bates, the emergency line does sometimes receive unusual calls that are outside the accepted use of 911 but it doesn’t happen often.

Bates added that calls like these tie up police resources when there could be serious emergencies.
