Law roundup: Police asked to use their parenting skills
Deciding that it was time for her son to come home from his girlfriend's home, a mother asked an officer with the Kalispell Police Department to give him a ride. Rather than trade in the badge for a cabbie's medallion, the officer phoned the boy and asked him to get a move on, which he agreed to do. Updating the mother, the officer found her less than pleased. After he reminded her that the boy was not a runaway juvenile and that the issue fell well short of being a criminal matter, she allegedly cursed the officer out and hung up.
Waking up to find both her GMC Acadia and grandson had disappeared, a grandmother tried to track down the boy at school. When he wasn't there, she turned to the police.
