A DENTAL health crisis has
precipitated a major police
investigation in France, where
a 12 year old boy faked his
kidnapping because he didn’t
want to go to the dentist.
The probe was launched last
month when officers found the
child hiding in the village of St
Gervais, and asked him what he
was doing.
The inventive youngster
described how he had been
abducted by a stranger but
managed to escape, giving the
police details of the supposed
kidnapper’s height and clothing as
well as the car he was driving.
After spending a month on the
case, detectives realised the boy’s
explanation didn’t make sense
and after further questioning he
admitted that he had made the
whole thing up as an excuse for
missing his dentist appointment.
A British entrepreneur has
announced plans for the UK’s
first “combined human and pet
crematorium,” tapping into the
trend from people who want to
“properly mourn their pets”.
Mark Lamb has lodged the
proposal to create the unique
facility at a stately home
called Alderstone House near
Haddington, with two separate
furnaces on either side of the
building and part of the grounds
set aside as a memorial garden for
animals.
Conventional cremations will
also be held in the “human” part
of the building, he said.
