Teen Claims Dad Chased Him with Bat

The following information was provided by the Strongsville police department

A 14-year-old boy really didn't want to go to school Aug. 31 -- to the point that he called police to get out of it.

A report said the boy called for help about 6:45 a.m., reporting that when he told his dad he wasn't feeling well, his dad chased him down the street with a baseball bat.

Officers found the boy waiting for them on Webster Road and took him back to his house, where the dad said his son was faking being sick to get out of going to school.
