9:10PM EST: A reported drowning at Sportsmen�s and Bennett roads at the Rondout Creek -� near Satmar Camp – was a falsely reported incident, according to the Ulster County sheriff.
The Ulster County Sheriff�s Office, Catskills Hatzolah, and fire and rescue personnel responded to the scene shortly after the 911 call of a reported drowning came to dispatchers around 7 p.m.
However, Ulster County Sheriff Paul Van Blarcum said at 8:30 on Sunday evening, �There was no drowning.�
Van Blarcum said a 13-year-old male from Rockland County made allegations of a swimming accident that are not true. �It was falsely reported,� he said.
Hatzolah members risked their lives responding to the incident, and had even requested a chopper to respond to the scene.

So why is this news????!!!
Why?
Family Court will have to deal with him but the punishment should be to clean hatzola ambulances for at least 6 months.
Enough! With all this stupiity.
Publish his name so children will be embarrased and think twice before wasting the time of our ear Hatzolaha members and making a chilull Hashem.
Enough!
For 2 reasons 1-it was reported here on YWN as a near drowning and they are correcting the story. 2 that a kid made such a phone call putting peoples lives at risk.
