Dear Abby: My neighbors have a 19-year-old daughter who became violent and suicidal while under the influence, They were going to tie her to a chair. I called 911. Now they won't talk to me!
Dear Abby: Neighbors wanted to tie their suicidal daughter to a chair; I called 911 and they won’t talk to meMy neighbor asked me to help with her violent, angry teen, but got mad at me for calling 911 when she was obviously suicidal.
The 19-year-old daughter has drug and alcohol problems and recently lost control at a friend’s house while under the influence. Her parents were called to pick her up. They called me on their way home and asked if I could help to get her under control. When they arrived, the daughter was screaming and violently beating up her mother in the back seat. She kicked out the side window of the car and was urinating everywhere. She was suicidal.
They dragged her by her arms on the ground into the house, where the screaming and fighting escalated. I called the police. She was transported to the hospital on a 5150, 72-hour hold. Now they are mad at me. I feel I did the right thing, especially since they chose to involve me and given what the alternative could have been. Was I wrong? Or do I need to reevaluate the friendship?By all means, reevaluate your friendship with this clueless couple, who should be thanking you.
