Have you ever read a news article that you found sort of interesting/amusing/whatever but didn't think it was enough to warrant a thread elsewhere? Well, this a thread for all those little articles that catch your eye.

God, I love this sort of thing, I just hope the dad wasn't too pissed off at the kid even though he didn't actually get him any trouble. I know the mom said she was proud of her son and all but you never know what goes on behind closed doors or how the dad might feel that his kid was 100% willing to make good on his word that'd he call 911.

called the cops on his dad today because he drove through a red light.
When Robbie took a ride with his dad and saw him drive past a red light, he did what he thought was the right thing to do: He called the cops.
"My daddy went past a red light," Robbie said in a 911 call the Quincy Police Department in Massachuetts posted. "It was in the brand new car -- my mommy's car. We had to go to the car wash and then we went past the red light."
Mike Richardson and Robbie were on their way to a car wash last Saturday. The father stopped at a red light before taking a right turn. That's legal in Massachusetts.
But Robbie, who dreams of becoming a police officer, noticed his dad had driven by even when the light was red.
"He said he was going to call 911," Richardson told CNN. "I just kind of blew it off a little bit, you know, he's 6 years old."
When they got home, he called police.
