French boy, 12, fakes own kidnapping to avoid going to dentist Read more: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/boy-fakes-kidnapping-avoid-dentist-article-1.1838046#ixzz35V88fNnM

A 12-year-old French boy was so determined not to go to the dentist that he reportedly faked his own kidnapping.

He may be scared of the dentist, but he’s sure not afraid of the police.

A 12-year-old French boy was reportedly so determined not to go to the dentist that he faked his own kidnapping, leading to a one-month investigation by cops.

The dental-drama began late May after he was found by police hiding in Alpine village St. Gervais on May 21, The Local Europe reported.

When the boy was questioned by officers, he allegedly claimed that he had just escaped an abduction attempt from nearby town Bagnols.

Sticking to his guns, he elaborately invented a scar-faced villain who lured him to his car for directions as he was dutifully heading to his dentist appointment.

That’s when, without warning, the man pulled him into his car and took off.

It was only by luck that the boy said he managed to escape when the vehicle stopped in St. Gervais.

He described the man as European-looking in his 30s, with a muscular build, standing 5-feet-7-inches tall, and with a vertical scar on his right cheek.

He further provided a description of the car the man had been driving and the clothes he was wearing.

For a month the boy appeared to have gotten away scot-free, until officers called him in for questioning once more — after reviewing security footage in Bagnols.

When confronted about his tall tale, the boy reportedly confessed to making the entire story up all so he wouldn’t have to go to the dentist.
