My 5 year old finally confesed, after about 3 or 4 months, that she dialed 911 when she was scared and thought her 4 year old brother was scared too while daddy was giving him a haircut. Here is the story:

when my h gave a haircut to my 4 year old boy, my h locked the bathroom's door and our two other girls and I were left out to hear him cry, and hear the spankings.... his cry was not a brat cry, he was hurting and he was scared. My two girls came to me scared, I told them that as soon as daddy got done we would give him lots of loving, and hugs, and kisses, and would make him feel good.

Anyway, at some point my h opened the door. I saw my boy naked in the bathtub, covered with tears and hair. He said his haircutting machine was not working properly, he was going to walmart to buy a new one and the boy was not to leave the bathtub.

Once he left, the girls and I came in the bathroom. We hugged him, sang songs with him, gave him candy. While doing all that, I grab the sissors and cut as much hair as I could so when hubby came, there wasn't much left to cut. I even used my h's machine. My boy was fine with me cutting his hair. And I think we did a good job comforting him.

Once he came back, while he was finishing his job the phone rang. It was the 911 operator. She said somebody called from our home and was checking if everything was OK, all that she could hear was little kid's voices (my two girls). the police came anyway and I had to explain to them everything was ok.

My h chew the girls buts for doing it. He said 911 wasn't a number to play with, and if they kept on dialing, then the police would quit coming and if they ever truly needed the help the police would no longer believe them.

He thought it was just kids being funny or curious, but now that I know the true, I wonder if I should tell him, Or not. I fear his reaction and that he'll fight for the kids if we do proceed with the divorce.
