A 7-year-old boy handcuffed himself at a carnival celebration and could only be freed from it with special tools.

Carnival, Shrovetide or the fifth season... no matter what name is used, many children and adults love the customs and the lively period before the forty-day Lent. Be it dressing up yourself, attending parades or parties or eating rows and rows of sweet pastries – there is something for everyone.

But no matter how fun these celebrations are, it is also true that not all jokers have fools' freedom at Carnival, as the saying goes. What seems amusing to one person can end more or less badly for another. It wasn't that drastic for a 7-year-old in Kusel, but he did need a bolt cutter and special tools to replace a missing key.

The Kaiserslautern Police Department describes the incident in a press release as follows:

The officers from the Kusel police station had to solve an unusual case this afternoon. A seven-year-old boy appeared handcuffed at the station accompanied by his mother and hoped that the police could remove the uncomfortable arm jewelry. The boy had put the handcuffs on himself at a carnival event.

However, his release was difficult because the key was missing, so he decided to go to the police. There was also no suitable key in the police officers' possession, so initially only the chain connecting the rings could be cut using bolt cutters.

The officers then drove the boy to Kusel Hospital, where the seven-year-old was able to be freed from his predicament using special tools.

Conclusion:

Regardless of whether it is intended for carnival time or as a role play – just leave the handcuff number if there are no keys left! Unless you're an escape artist and like to amaze others with your skills, then keep it up...

To everyone else: first think, then… know anyway 😉
