Füssen (AP) - Because she could not find her four-year-old son, a mother reported her child to the police as missing - while the latter was watching television in an adjoining room.

The woman told the police on Wednesday lunchtime that she had missed her son for around an hour and a half, the officials said on Thursday.

He is traveling with a scooter.

While the patrol was arriving in the Swabian town of Füssen (Ostallgäu district), the mother reported again and explained that she had found her son.

The boy watched television in an empty guest room at her place of work and did not hear his mother's calls.
