I'll start at the begging, other wise it wont make any sence & please bare with me, I'm VERY angry!!
It was about 10am when Rob, Tom & myself went outside to get the trailor ready to go to the dump. We saw a toddler no older then 2yrs old, strapped in a carrage & at the vety top of the driveway in the middle.
We thought nothing of it, cause a parent must be there. 5 mins go by & still no parent. then 10, then 15 mins go by & still no parent!
Around 15mins later a 4-5yr old comes out, runs to the baby & then runs back inside. Then 5mins later a mother in her PJ's comes out & takes the baby inside.
All 5 of us were outside watching this baby. The baby wasn't in any 911 kind of danger, since we kept a VERY close eye on it, but we were quite upset.
It was the first time we had seen any child left alone at that place so we dissimissed it as a parent not paying attention & we were gonna leave it at that.
Then around 1:30-1:45 Rob & I hear this child crying. We rushed to the window & there was the 4-5yr old balling her poor eyes out & doing everything she could to get inside the house. She was kicking, punching & slapping the door.
That was our last straw & we called the local police because we didn't feel like it was a 911 issue, due to us keeping our eyes on her & she wasn't in any danger at that time.
Around 2:30ish a male officer shows up at their door. He knocks & knocks & buzzes & buzzes. Finally the mother openeds the door, officer goes in for a few mins, then comes out & joins with a female officer & comes to our door!!!!
For the love of god, they shouldn't have walked up to our house, to single us out as the people who called the police!
But whatever, I was glad to see the officers show up nonetheless.
I opened the door & greated them like I would anyone else with a smile & a polite good day officers.
Ok breath, relax (I'm still very upset).
(its the male officer doing 90% of the talking)
Oh geez my mind is mush, but anyways, I told them my story.
The Officers told us they shouldn't have been called, because its very busy out there (pointing in the direction of the business area).
We should have gone over there to make sure everything was ok & resolve it ourselves! Keep in mind the officers r being quite rude with us.
We siad we're not going over there, we kept a close eye to make sure they didn't run onto the street, & thats why we called the police & not 911.
Then the officers said, the mother told them the child was out there no longer then 15 secones. I said it takes much longer to set up the trailor, get it out & hook it up to a car, then 15 seconds. it takes 20-30 mins.
Basically the officers called us liars to our face & made it look like we did wrong.
I was litterly in shock from what the officers said to me (Rob was flying & Tom was behind me).
I called Rob all upset & yelling & told him what happened. He gave me the local police # & told me to press 0 & ask for a supervisor. So I did that.
I told him everything & guess what he said in the end?
JUST GUESS?!?!
& what would you like to see done!!! :eek: :eek: :eek:
%$^$&)^$
OMG I nearly had a heart attack! He was doing the same BS as the officers were.
Its not my problem, I'm busy sitting on my @$$ (Where I live, there really isn't any big crime going on, just speeder & stupid harmless kids), fix it ur self kind of attitude!
I really didn't know how to answer the supervisor so I said I don't know, talk to them, let them know they were rude, shouldn't treat people like that, etc.
I honestly want to called the media & make the complaint to them & how I felt I was treated.
For crying out loud, there was a deadly driver on the 417 months ago. The old man was all over the place & was forcing car after car after car off the hwy. We called 911 & they asked us to stay behind him & keep an eye on things until the officers showed up. The 417 is really big & when the old guy nearly made a car spin out & crash, we did take manners into our own hands. We got infront of him & forced him off the road to a full stop. We made him turn off the car & told him the police were coming. We called 911 right back & told them everything. They were so pleased & impressed, all 10 officers shook our hands.
See thats they type of thing civilans need to jump in, people were at danger & it needed to be stopped right then, not 20 mins later.
But these baby & child situation didn't need us getting involved & from what we learned in Police Foundations, is that u NEVER go to a house alone (officer wise), which kind of tells us to stay away, unless the kid is in danger right now. We don't know the neighbours or anything, so its not like we can go there all neighbourly like & ITS THE OFFICERS JOBS TO DEAL WITH THESE THINGS!!
I need to cool off. I'll return to correct anything I might have miss typed or didn't explain enough.
