By The Bad Grades, Fakes Kidnapping, Of Alabama 11-years-old Boy, An 11-year-old boy faked his kidnapping Friday to avoid bringing home his bad report card, Huntsville police said.

The Ed White Middle School student claimed a man in a red, beat-up car grabbed him after school at the intersection of Trail Ridge and Grizzard roads and forced him into the vehicle.

"I'm going to take you somewhere and kill you," the boy claimed the man said. The boy also said the man had a pistol.

categorically should an 11-year-old have to fear and loathe the above phenomena to fake his own kidnapping a day before the English Language test? Ask the Standard VI boy who, inspired by an over-the-top investigative TV series, did just that.

The student said he escaped by jumping out of the car but wasn't able to grab his bookbag, which contained the report card.

He ran to his grandparents' house and later confessed to lying. His grandfather called police to apologize.

Sgt. Mark Roberts said police were suspicious that the boy was able to "escape" with his band instrument, but not his bookbag.

Cops were alerted about the kidnapping attempt and showed up to file a report. That's when the boy fessed up to concocting the whole story to cover his bad grades.

On Sunday, a Ghatkopar resident registered a complaint that his son, who studies in Class VI in an English medium school on Golibar Road in Ghatkopar (West), had been kidnapped.  The complainant informed the cops that his son had called from a public telephone booth to say that four men in a white Omni van had kidnapped him.   

The boy, who hails from a middle-class family in Ghatkopar (W), decided to fake his own abduction after being inspired by a detective serial he saw on television on Saturday.
