SHEBOYGAN, Wis., Feb. 20 (UPI) --
No charges will be filed against an 8-year-old Wisconsin girl who made more than 100 prank calls to emergency operators last week.
Lt. Jim Risseeuw of the Sheboygan County, Wis., Sheriff's Department said the unidentified girl was traced with the help of AT&T and TracFone, which identified the phone's owner as the girl's mother, the Sheboygan Press reported Tuesday.
The woman had stopped using the phone but all cell phones can call 911 even if they don't have active service.
Risseeuw said the third-grader identified herself to dispatchers as "Matthew" when she made the calls, some of which contained profanities, the report said.
However, he said because of her age, she won't be charged.
"At this point, the matter was corrected," Risseeuw said. "We'll leave it for the parents to deal with."
