A young French boy faked his own kidnapping in order to avoid his dentist appointment!

The buzzing of dentist equipment strikes fear not only in children but adults alike. And you may be surprised to know the number of people who choose to live with the pain of cavities, tooth decay and what-not just because they fear an appointment with the gold ole dentist.

One kid, Nicolas Menez, from France took the ball game a whole new level though, scheming an elaborate plan to miss his big date with the tooth doctor. The 12-year-old boy from a small village in the French Alps was found by the local police whom he told he had been hiding from a kidnapper before the cops took him in for questioning.
The kid had a rather good story to tell. Said he was lured into the vehicle of a thirty-something year-old guy in the town of Bagnols, not too far away. He even went ahead to give a vivid description of a scarred kidnapper, the clothes he wore as well as the car used in the abduction. He said he was fortunate to escape after the kidnapper made a stop-over at St. Gervais.
Following his revelations, the police would proceed to conduct investigations into the case which took them an entire month to get into the bottom of. With several dead leads and going round in circles, they called in the little boy again and it was then that he admitted the whole tale was made up and he had done it to skip an appointment scheduled with his dentist.
