Can you guess what behaviour warranted the police calling her?
The video shows a young toddler on the phone, she looks quite serious in her demeanour.
There are some holes in the story, but from what we can see, she was misbehaving and this led to her chat with a police officer.
The call was scripted, which we believe was automated. But she didn't know that much.
All she knew was that she was being reprimanded (in a very lawful but kind manner) by a police officer.
Whoever came up with this ingenious way of setting right a misbehaving toddler is genius.
Because as much as we don't necessarily believe in creating fear in our kids, sometimes they can wrap us around all their fingers if given the chance.
And that can be detrimental to their upbringing altogether. In fact, some might say it helps that they feel that there is someone who they have to answer to if they behave badly.
It helps them be mindful of their behaviour and even learn about respect.
