You get some weird stories in the world of Xbox sometimes, and this is one of them! Halton Police in Canada has taken to Twitter to warn young Xbox fans not to call 911 just because their mum changes their Xbox password.
And in case you're in any doubt, yes - this actually happened.
No further details were provided about the incident, but it certainly drew a lot of attention on social media yesterday, although we're not so sure about the use of the GIF - aren't those PS3 controllers?! We'll forgive you, Halton Police.
In all seriousness though, let's hope we don't hear any more stories like this in the future!
What do you make of this? Give us your thoughts down in the comments below.

First world problems.
I see no problems with this
Oh. Sorry. I just panicked, is all....
Canada has mums?
@Link41x imports from the UK clearly.
I rememberr a few years ago a lady in the US called the cops cuz KFC was out of chicken during a massive one day sale....made it to the news even. Also a lady called 911 because she was going to be late to work and wanted a police escort for her Uber...use condoms people...use condoms. Almost need a license to breed.
Call the cops I’m off my chops.
I once called the police about having the crap kicked out of me by 2 lads who just didn't like the look of me on the way home from the pub... Yet I feel more pain for this young lads plight.
@Dezzy The problem with it is that they tie up the line for someone who has a true emergency. See no problem in that. Yeah tell that to the person getting mugged or the the family who's grandfather is having a heart attack but couldn't get through because some spoiled brat is tieing up the line because his parents changed his Xbox Password as punishment for something they did wrong.
Wow, just wow. I don't even know what to say about this one.
@Tasuki
Yes, believe it or not, I was being sarcastic. I know that doesn't work online so well.
@Tasuki Unless there is natural disaster level issues, I promise you, 911 operators have more downtime than not. I've got operators that take maybe, 10 calls in a 10 hour shift.
How old was the child? Maybe the kid was too young to understand he was misusing the emergency service's
