Offbeat: You’re hiring a prostitue for me? Thanks dad, you shouldn’t have.

  • No really, dad, I’m 14. You shouldn’t have. A creepbag of a dad in Britain, originally from Poland, attempted to show his son a good time (and get that pesky losing virginity out of the way) by bringing his kid to the red-light district of Nottingham. Unfortunately for him, his son chose the undercover officer. So now he looks like father of the year and is headed to jail for ten months. source

Offbeat: 14-year-old Chicago teen plays police officer, gets caught

  • Five hours on patrol The teen, who showed a longstanding interest in police work, walked into a police station on Saturday and was assigned to duty almost immediately. He didn’t write tickets and never got behind the wheel, nor did he interact with the public, but he was savvy enough to check out his own equipment.
  • He almost got away with it … … but a supervisor became suspicious of his credentials after he returned from duty. (His “partner” had no clue that he was riding with a Frank Abagnale Jr. wannabe.) He lacked a police star, and was lacking important equipment, such as a bulletproof vest. The boy will be tried as a juvenile for the incident. source
