911 Called for Bad House Cleaning 

Andrew Mizsak, clean your room! Father calls cops on adult son, member of the Bedford school board, for refusing his chores

by Michael K. McIntyre/Plain Dealer Reporter

It's odd enough that a Bedford father would actually call police after arguing with his son about cleaning his room.

Stranger still, the sloppy son is 28 years old and serves on the Bedford School Board.

"I know this looks bad," said School Board member Andrew Mizsak, who lives with his parents and also works as an independent political consultant. His mother, Paula, is a Bedford councilwoman.

Mizsak's dad, also Andrew, called 9-1-1 on Thursday after his son threw a plate of food across the kitchen table and balled his fist up at his dad when told to clean his room.

The senior Mizsak, 63, wouldn't press charges and told police, "I don't want to ruin his political career." According to the report, he said: "Andrew is 270 pounds and he can't fight him, that they do everything for Andrew and he doesn't even pay rent."

The elder Mizsak said Saturday, "I overreacted. No big deal."

According the report, "Andrew was sent to his room to clean it. He was crying uncontrollably and stated he would comply."

Mizsak said he was embarrassed to take police away from more important work.

"My dad and I love each other very much," he said, promising to keep his basement room clean. "I'm lucky to be living in their house."

Tip

How to clean your room fast

To prevent having to de-clutter "clean" your room in the first place, just put back what you get out.  Set aside a little time each week to clean your room (change & launder the bedding, dust and vacuum.)

Questions & Answers

How do you clean piles of stuff?  

Unless otherwise requested we will clean the top of the pile and any visible shelf, table, or floor space around it.

We will also suggest a good home organizer.

Please note:  We can do general de-cluttering if it is very evident where to put stuff, like laundry in a hamper.
