their child had died.
Ashley Dodd, 28, rang his victims claiming to be a doctor at the
George Eliot Hospital in Nuneaton, Leamington Magistrates' Court
heard.
Dodd, of Hayes Lane, Exhall, Warwickshire picked his victims at random
after he had been binge-drinking on 6 and 7 June, the court was told.
He admitted eight offences under the Malicious Communications Act.
Dodd will be sentenced later this month.
He told the court he was "messing around" while drinking, but the
court heard his actions caused families "shock and devastation".
The court was told that some families took several hours to trace
their children to discover they were well.
