Cops Called on 4 year old
When a 4 year old girl’s library books were overdue, the library went to the extreme…. by calling the police.
Yes, a little girl who checked out several books in 2011 had failed to return the books so the library called the police to take care of the matter.
The issue more concerns the family as they had recieved numerous phone calls and letters about the overdue books inlcuding “Dora the Explorer: The Halloween Cat” and “I see the Moon”. Still, it’s quite a headline to read considering the books were checked out in the girls name.
How much exactly does she owe? The library’s records indicate that the total cost of the books she checked out has amounted to around $81.60.
The mother of the child has since paid the fine. The librarian involved said while this type of thing is rare, she said it does sometimes occur.
So an officer was dispatched, asummingly driving a police cruiser, to make sure the outlaws got the point. So how much did that cost? I’d say probably a lot more than the $81.60 the parents owed since I wouldn’t think the little girl could hold a job yet. I am not saying that they should get away with it but, get real. Just another example of the bright minds managing your tax dollars.
