This Child Isn't Made from the Stuff of Legend

A man in Las Flores apparently wants his son to grow up to be Tony Hawk, the iconic skateboarder who excelled at the X Games and as a video game pitchman for his line of action-related games.

The Orange County Sheriff's Department received a phone call Monday, about 5  p.m., from a resident who apparently has no appreciation for trying to mold a child into a shredder legend.

The informant reported that a male, possibly the father of a young child, keeps putting the youngster on a skateboard, and that the child keeps crying because being on the skateboard is scaring him.

The call came from the 200 block of Sable.
