'He’s like, ‘I’m gonna call the cops on you,’' Rosario, 34, told reporters on behalf of her son.

She had just informed him it was time to go to his room for the night.

On the way he snagged the wall phone and dialed 911. Dan hung up, but not before he'd reached the police.

'Then he just walked to his room and got under the covers,' Rosario said.

Following protocol, the police then called back to the home where Rosario had to explain that everyone was safe.

Dan won't face any charges, but mother Rosario is still ground him for two weeks

'Dan, would you like to talk to the police?' Rosario can be heard to say on the 911 recording. 'Because you can't be calling 911 when there is no emergency.'

'He doesn't want to come to the phone,' she told the police.

The Enterprise reports that an officer still went to the house and explained to Dan when it's appropriate – and when it's not – to call 911. No one was charged with a crime, but for good measure Dan will be grounded for the next two weeks. They need to know that there’s boundaries and responsibilities they need to uphold, no matter how old they are,' Rosario said.
