[jeffrey]

A Trinidad teenager has been "grounded" by a judge after the youth faked his own kidnapping and told his mother that abductors would send his head home in a bag if she didn't pay a ransom.

Magistrate Reynold Waldropt ordered Lyndon Gooding, 14, to stay indoors between 5:00 p.m. and 6:30 a.m. until the end of February. He also put Gooding on probation for the next two years...

Police said the boy called his mother several times, telling her the kidnappers demanded a ransom of 100,000 Trinidadian dollars (US$16,100; euro13,400) or they would send his head to her in a bag. Entire Story
