Girl Calls Police For Help Over Messy Room

A nine-year-old German girl was so upset about having to tidy her room she put up a sign in her window urging passers-by to call police for help.

Pedestrians in the city of Braunschweig in Berlin saw the girl crying in the window, holding up a sign that read "Help! Please call the police!!". Seated next to her was a small boy.

Pedestrians quickly alerted police and officers rushed to the scene. Only to discover the girl had an argument with her mother about tidying her room and had enlisted her two-year-old brother's aid to attract attention.

"The room looked like a battlefield", said a local police spokesman. "Officers told the girl to tidy her room. When they came back two hours later to check, it was all cleaned up. And the mother and daughter had made up too".

Good thing too, no one likes a messy ending.
