A furious German father has dumped his 14-year-old son on a motorway 490 kilometres from home to “teach him a lesson”.
The grumpy dad had just collected his son from a summer camp in northern Bavaria, Germany, but they argued and he pulled the car on to the hard-shoulder.
The man ordered the teenager out and then drove off, leaving him with just five Euros.
Another motorist witnessed the argument and was told by the father: “I’m leaving him here for his own good. It’s to teach him a lesson.”
Officers took the chastened boy to a police station and rang his father.
A Bavarian police spokesman said: “We phoned the father, who told us he was already at home. He eventually agreed to come and collect his son, and when he arrived they hugged and both said sorry for shouting at each other.”
But he added: “They may have settled their differences, but we shall still be informing social services that this child may be at risk.”
