This Guy for President

A boy in the north of Spain, worried about an impending parent-teacher meeting, faked his own kidnapping in an attempt to divert attention from his less than stellar academic record. Seriously.

This kid is already set to be a high-ranking politician in the Spanish government. He's got all the attributes:

1. Family connections (dad's a cop)
2. Mediocre performance (recent grades)
3. Refusal to accept responsibility (parents and teacher to talk? oh no!)
4. Ludicrous diversionary tactics (calls dad "from trunk of car" to communicate his ordeal)
5. Failure of diversionary tactics (dad notices keys to second home missing. finds boy hanging out there)
6. No consequences (see number one)

Sounds about right. One of the parties, and frankly it doesn't matter which one, should snap this kid up and promote him through the ranks. They've got a future leader on their hands.
