A fight over pocket money ends with police action
A teenager is dissatisfied with the amount of his pocket money and loses his temper. Because he refuses to stop throwing things around the apartment, his mother calls the police.
A mother in Erfurt called the police due to a heated argument with her son about the amount of pocket money. The 15-year-old expressed his anger over what he considered to be an insufficient amount by damaging furniture in his room and throwing objects around, as the police reported. As he refused to calm down, his mother alerted the authorities.
The officers were able to mediate a clarifying discussion between the two parties on Saturday evening, which they referred to as "wage negotiations" in their report. No one was injured.
The exact terms of the agreement and the pocket money offer that initially angered the teenager remain unknown. However, a police spokesperson noted that it is very rare for parents to call the police in such a situation.
After the teenager's outburst, the situation needed intervention from the local police force. With the teenager still upset, the police bargained for a peaceful resolution to the pocket money dispute.
