Not to involve the police in school squabbles

I was chatting to a police officer this weekend about how there seems to be an increasing amount of parents reporting kids to them for ridiculous things, examples he gave we’re as follows:
Trying to get a 10yr old a criminal record for stealing because he took something from their child’s pencil case
Trying to have a child expelled from school for swearing at their child over face time whilst on the school bus (not even at the same school as each other)
Trying to get an 11yr old expelled from school for playing rough with their son, wrestling etc.
Has parenting gone mad? Where is the common sense and are the police not busy enough?
Apparently if parents are not happy with how schools react to incidents then the next step is the police, is that right?

I personally despair at the parents calling the police for their child having broken a door, or pushing a parent or sibling, or nicking a fiver out of their mums purse...

I threw a pillow in anger and swore/shouted at my mum. Called the police. I spend a night in custody and then a day with a foster carer Hmm and then a week with a friend.
