The boy was home alone at night when he heard a loud thump and became convinced that a thief was trying to get inside. He quickly got on the phone to the local police who were dispatched to the scene.
After a quick check it turned out that there was no burglar but the boy was still upset and had another problem - his maths homework. "He had called his mother also but he was on his own when the police got there.
"They didn't want to leave him alone so they sat down and helped him with his multiplication tables and other homework," Viktor Adolphson of the Södermalm police said. He said the boy was right to alert them in the first place. "Even though it wasn't a thief it was a good thing to do," Adolphson added.

In the good old US of A, the child would have been taken into protective custody and the mother would have been charged with child endangerment.
'Merica, land of the free, unless you want to walk alone to the park and then your mom will be arrested for negligence.
Yes, that really recently happened. It may have been mentioned by Arbroath, now that I think of it.
