INDIAN HARBOUR BEACH, Fla. -
A Brevard County mother was arrested after she called 911 and asked dispatchers to sends officers to scare her children, police said.

According to jail records, Melissa Townsend, 27, was arrested Tuesday after making the call to emergency officials about her kids, ages 1 and 3.

"I need a police officer to come out and scare the (expletive) out of my kids," Townsend said on the 911 call. "They're not listening to me and they need to learn respect. They need to learn that lesson."

The dispatcher told the upset mother that police would not do what she asked.

but I remember that years ago, you really could get a cop to come scare the crap out of kids. I guess they don't have enough officers these days for them to have the time. When I was a kid, one of my schoolmates actually had a trip to the city jail by an accomodating policeman.....scared him straight.

My dad called 911 because he was having a heart attack. The local cop was the first one on the scene, he didn't check my dad and canceled the call.

My dad who was semi-conscious had to manage to call 911 a second time. He died from that heart attack.
