Eloping Kids' Plan of an African Wedding Foiled by the Police!

Posted by Alex in Baby & Kids, Funny on January 5, 2009 at 6:00 pm


Mika and Anna-Lena wanted to elope to Africa to get married where it’s warm, but the couple’s plan was foiled by police. It’s a good thing, too, since the two lovebirds are only five and six years old!

The budding lovebirds, identified as Mika and Anna-Lena, packed bathing costumes, sunglasses and a lilo and headed for the airport. They even had the presence of mind to invite along an official witness – Anna-Lena’s seven-year-old sister. [...]

The following morning, as their parents slept, the intrepid trio walked 1km (0.6 miles) to the local tram station at Langenhagen, where they hopped aboard a tram for Hanover central station.

But the group aroused the suspicion of a guard as they waited for a train to the airport, and police were called in.

Officers persuaded the children they would not get far without tickets and money, but consoled them with a free tour of the police station, where they were shortly picked up by relieved parents.

    Pugsley: lilo = inflatable mattress.

    Gauldar: because it's warm! Duh!

    Sounds like something I would have done. I was a very romantic child.

    It's actually really impressive that the children knew how to get to the airport

    So is Dubai. Not to mention they have an indoor ski center.

    Why Africa? Supposedly because it's warm there.

    I think the BBC got the ages wrong; the version that was on the radio news here named the five year old girl as witness (and I'd believe German radio over the BBC because it happened in Germany).

    Also matches up witht he version of Reuters: http://www.reuters.com/article/oddlyEnoughNews/idUSTRE50444120090105

    This is one of those things that those kids will never live down for the rest of their days. How cute!

    A nice story. Made me smile and remeber my old adventures.

    But the cynic in me says somehow, somewhere, someone will charge the parents with child neglect or child endangerment. Where were the parents? Weren't they watching these kids? blah, blah, blah.

    Wow. I'd be freaked out if I were their parent.

    Well, I agree with Anke... The 5 year old sister was the witness, while the elder girl is the bride-to-be...

    I just hope this is one romance that will stand the test of time, and that these children actually do marry when they are old enuff to understand the implications of being married...

    On another note... I wish I was in their place :D
