WHITE ROCK, B.C. - A B.C. man probably wishes he had given his 11-month-old son a set of keys to play with instead of a phone, after the infant accidentally dialled 9-1-1 and brought police to dad's marijuana grow operation.

Mounties say a 9-1-1 call came in from a White Rock, B.C. residence Friday morning but whoever was on the other end of the line hung up. Officers arrived at the residence and after numerous knocks on the door went unanswered, they entered the home.

"The gentleman was quite surprised," said White Rock RCMP Const. Janelle Canning.

She said the 29-year-old male, startled by the sudden sight of police, insisted he hadn't made the call.

When it was suggested a child might have dialled, the father objected and said his son was far too young.

That's when police spotted the baby boy, phone in hand.

"We saw him playing with the cordless phone and just pressing all the buttons, so evidently he had called 9-1-1," Canning said.

With that mystery solved, officers began inspecting the residence and soon discovered a 500-plant marijuana grow operation.

The father was arrested and will appear in court in early April on charges of production of a controlled substance and mischief.

The boy was removed from the home by the Ministry of Children and Family Development, though he was later released into his mother's custody.

The mother does not live in the residence and Canning says she had no idea what was going on at the home.

God must hate that guy.

[Sinisdar Toste]

haha i'd prefer to think of it as the Lad's Push, poor bastard, that was probably some primo stuff

[frookenhauer]

that guy must hate his kid...

[Sparkimus]

Yeah that kinda ruins the father-son bond at an early age. Poor kid, he'll probably grow up to be an emo.

[Terez]

I have to wonder why they were allowed to inspect the residence once it was determined the call was in error.

[Sparkimus]

Guy probably panicked and did something stupid, otherwise it was an illegal search and seizure and he'll probably get off.

It's hard keeping your composure when you've got police in your house full of weed...er...I mean I can only imagine such a thing would be difficult.

Mischief? You're kidding, Canada actually has laws that make mischief illegal? Crazy colonials.

Having entered a residence legallly, in the U.S., police have the right to look at anything the father could reach, for their own safety. Further, if they have reason to believe a crime is occurring, the have the right to search the premises.

Also, even though the call was made unintentionally, the police have to investigate.

[HoosierDaddy]

Yeah, which is what I meant by saying once they had a right to legally enter... because of the 911 call.

They don't in the UK. Some girl was raped and murdered. It turned out she called the police while she was kidnapped but couldn't speak so the call was automatically cut off. Which sucks somewhat.

You, Sir, are awesome.

Ummm, dads out there learns your lessons: 1) Don't give your kid the phone to play with, get him a teddy bear or something. 2) Don't grow drugs and crap with a kid in the house. Or if you do, don't give the kid the phone.

Kids did form an army one time. It was called the Children's Crusade... maybe the 8th or so... around 1200 Crusade. It ended up with thousands of kids being sold into slavery in Italy.
