Mike’s the Stupid News: Mom Lands in Jail after Asking 911 to Scare her Kids

A Florida mom learned a valuable lesson when she was arrested after calling 911 to demand that cops teach her toddlers some respect. Melissa Townsend dialed 911 and asked the dispatcher to send a cop over to "scare the s**t out of" her one and three-year-old children because they weren't "listening to me and they need to learn respect. They need to learn that lesson."

When told scary kids wasn't part of the job description, she called back and asked again. This time cops were sent to her home -- to scold her. Angry, and reportedly intoxicated, Townsend kicked one officer in the nuts a couple of times, at which point she was arrested and charged with child endangerment as well as assaulting a police officer. So I guess the police DID teach her kids a lesson; don't grow up to be like mom.
