Residents in Oxelösund alerted the police on Sunday about a child crying for help. The patrol that responded was able to return to the station fairly soon, writes Södermanlands Nyheter.
It was about a child who did not want to go to the beach, says the police's press spokesperson Martina Gradian to the newspaper.
Alerting the police when you think you hear a child in distress is never wrong, she emphasizes.
If you are the slightest unsure whether a child may need help or not, it is better to call.
