Mom Of The Year

Michael Kelly got a hysterical phone call from his mother saying that his 9 year old son was missing. As one might imagine, Michael panicked. He then made some bad choices on his way to mom's house. Driving at speeds up to 120 mph, running a red light, and refusing to stop for police he finally arrived at his mother's place. He was then arrested on several charges. But what about his son? The boy is fine, Michael's mom says it was just an April Fools joke.
Good one mom! Can't wait to see what she comes up with next year.

there was some speculation in the comments on the story that he made up the april fools story to get out of the traffic stuff. its possible but i wouldn't be suprised if it was true either. people just keep getting dumber and dumber.(hangs head and despairs for the human race.)

Faking missing/dead family member = never funny prank.
I would hope the reporters or cops corroborate the story by asking the mother. But now a days who knows.

except mom probably doesn't have 2 nickels to rub together. lets face it she doesn't seem like she has the kind of smarts necessary to amass wealth.
