Five-year-old misses his friend's birthday party, is invoiced £15.95 by the boy's mother

A five-year-old boy who missed a friend's birthday party has been invoiced £15.95 - by the host's mother.

Alex Nash was handed the bill via a teacher after he visited grandparents instead of showing up at the party which held at a ski centre in Plymouth, Devon.

Alex's dumbstruck parents found it in his school bag - and their refusal to pay could now lead to a hearing at a small claims court.

All pleas to avert the punishment for the the little boy and his family has fallen on deaf ears.

The birthday boy's mother Julie Lawrence said ...

'All details were on the party invite. They had every detail needed to contact me.' 

LOL
