While some children might eventually give in to parental pressure, there are some others who are so scared of dentists that they would go extreme lengths to avoid them. Take for example the case of this boy from France. 
 
 This 12-year-old boy was so petrified of dentists that he staged his own kidnapping — a story which the police believed and spent a month looking for the “culprit.” According to the French newspaper Midi Libre, the this staged kidnapping was reported from the village of St. Gervais in France’s Alpine Valley. 
 
 It all started when the 12-year-old was spotted hiding by the police as they made a routine patrol through the village in the afternoon of May 21. According to The Local.fr, the boy was picked up by the police and, when inquired as to why he was hiding, he claimed he was abducted from the nearby town of Bagnols by a man and that he was hiding out of fear. 
 
 The boy provided the police officers a detailed description of the man. This kidnapper, according to the boy, was in his 30s, was around 1.7 meters tall, and had “European” features. He supposedly had a muscular build and there was a vertical scar on his right cheek. It didn’t end there. The boy also told the police that his kidnapper wore a black T-shirt and tight jeans. He revealed details about the car in which he said he was taken as well Now, that’s as detailed as it could get. So much so they even made a sketch of the suspect ready. 
 
 When asked about the exact way in which he was kidnapped, the boy said that he was on his way to the dentist when the suspect approached him to ask for directions. After talking for a few seconds, the boy claimed that he was forcefully pulled inside the car and they both sped off. He added that when the car stopped for some reason at Saint Gervais, he was able to escape. 
 
 The police, who treated this case with extreme priority, quickly started looking for possible suspects and new clues. Almost a month into the investigation with no credible leads, they decided to check CCTV images from the town of Bagnols — the place where the boy was kidnapped. They immediately realized that something was amiss here. The boy was questioned once again by the officials and, finally, he admitted that he had indeed lied about the entire incident. He also openly admitted that he conjured up the story simply because he was terrified to visit the dentist! 
 
 While it is perfectly understandable for a child to not like a dentist trip, was it an extreme reaction from this particular boy? It is unclear at this stage if the boy was reprimanded for his behavior by the police.

 The dentist is never the favourite place for children but some youngsters will go to greater lengths than others to avoid having to see one, it seems. 
 
 One 12-year-old boy in a village in the Alpine village St Gervais even went as far as telling police he had been kidnapped so he wouldn’t have to see the tooth doctor, French paper Midi Libre reported. 
 
 The youngster was picked up by police, who spotted him hiding, as they patrolled through the village during the afternoon of May 21. 
 
 When quizzed by police the youngster immediately said he had been abducted from the nearby town of Bagnols. 
 
 He even gave the officers a detailed description of the man who had abducted him – "European looking, aged in his thirties, of muscular build with a height of around 1.70 and a vertical scar on his right cheek". 
 
 The kidnapper was also wearing a black shirt and light jeans according to the boy. Police quickly drew up an e-fit image of the alleged abductor. 
 
 The young boy was also able to hand over details of the car he was driving and of course what happened during the abduction. 
 
 He told officers he was going to his dental appointment when a man pulled up to ask directions. After a brief exchange the boy said he was forced into the man’s car, before he sped off. 
 
 He then told police he managed to escape by chance when the car stopped in Saint Gervais. 
 
 Naturally the police treated the case seriously and spent the last month investigating. It was only after trawling through CCTV images from the town of Bagnols that detectives realised something wasn’t quite right. 
 
 Under further questioning the boy admitted this week that he had invented the whole story because he had been afraid to go to his appointment at the dentist. 
 
 In fairness he's probably not the only youngster to invent a story to avoid having to have their teeth checked.
– Say you love going to the dentist? Well neither does a boy in France who concocted an entire kidnapping story to avoid admitting that he had ducked a dental visit, The Local reports. Police found the 12-year-old during a patrol of the Alpine village St Gervais last month, asked what was up, and listened to his tale of woe. The boy described his kidnapper in some detail—about 5'6", 30s, muscular, with (of course) a scar on his cheek—and explained how the abduction went down. He was supposedly headed for the dentist when the guy pulled up, asked for directions, dragged him in the car, and drove off. Only during a surprise stop was the boy able to run away. Well, police investigated for a month, drawing up an e-fit image of the suspect and following leads, Midi Libre reports—until investigators noticed that closed-circuit TV images from the boy's hometown of Bagnols didn't quite match his story. So they pressed him further, and he admitted to concocting the whole thing because he was afraid of the dental chair. Exactly what his punishment will be isn't clear, notes Inquisitr. We might suggest a year of free cleanings. (On a serious note, a 3-year-old child suffered brain damage during a dental visit and died soon after.)
