Officers will speak to the people who made complaints in Sussex, Kent and West Wales, before deciding whether to take any further action.
A spokesman said: 'South Wales Police has received a number of calls following an incident involving a ball boy at the Capital One Cup semi-final between Swansea City and Chelsea at The Liberty Stadium in Swansea on Wednesday 23rd January.
'Three calls have been received from members of the public living in Sussex, Kent and West Wales which are being followed up.
'Officers have interviewed the ball boy concerned in the presence of his father and he does not wish to make any formal complaint.
'The boy did not sustain any injuries.'
Initial public sympathy for Charlie Morgan, whose enviable lifestyle is funded by his multi-millionaire father, a Swansea director, turned into suspicion yesterday.
He faced a torrent of abuse for what many saw as his play acting and gamesmanship.

Appearing to throw himself on top of the ball when it ran out of play towards the end of the match, he ended up receiving a kick in the ribs from Hazard as he tried to retrieve the ball and help his team make up a two-goal deficit.
The teenager, heir to an estimated £42million fortune, writhed on the ground, his face contorted in apparent pain.

Then it emerged that before the match he had told his 600 Twitter followers: ‘The king of all ball boys is back making his final appearance’, adding: ‘needed for timewasting.’

By yesterday evening his Twitter audience had shot up to almost 100,000 – not all of whom appeared to be fans.
