The wife of British Prime Minister Tony Blair was questioned by child protection officials when she only pretended to slap one of the boys.

The incident happened when Cherie Blair was being photographed with teenager Miles Gandolfi at the U.K. Schools Games sports event in Glasgow, Scotland, when the 17-year-old boy in question jokingly raised his hand behind her head to make a "bunny ears" gesture.

However, Blair took it in good humor and pretended to slap Gandolfi, telling him he acted smart. They are shown laughing and hugging each other in the newspaper pictures.

Reuters reports that officials from the Child Protection in Sports Unit reported Blair to police who then questioned Gandolfi about the incident.

A Glasgow police spokeswoman said, "Following further inquiries into an alleged incident said to have occurred at the U.K. School Games at Scotstoun Leisure Center on September 9, it has now been established that no incident took place."

"Police inquiries into the matter are now complete," she added.

Gandolfi's mother Catherine said, "It wasn't an assault of anything like that. It was just a bit of fun on his part -- it was all very lighthearted."
