Wow, what a horrific story! It's bad enough to be afraid of strangers hurting your children when you go to a park or a community area, but to have this happen when you're in your own yard is very scary. So, should parents be outside, supervising their kids even in their own yards? Should kids...

Two days in jail because of it??? Wow, that seems like a hefty consequence. I posted a question similar to this on the forum because I was curious, too. I think there's such a fine line between calling the number appropriately and "abusing" it. It seems to me that if you think there's a chance...

So, even in a case where it's an animal in trouble, not a human, I should still call 911? I'm curious about the pet in the hot car example.

Ugh. What a disgusting story. Every parent gets frustrated by their kids sometimes, but to do something so violent and cruel...that makes no sense. Where's the motherly instinct in that? If she was feeling that angry at them, why not give them up for adoption? There are so many people who want...

This may seem like a silly question, but I feel like the guidelines are very gray about when a citizen should call a non-emergency number, versus when someone should call 911. I understand that if it's a dangerous/violent situation or when it's incredibly serious, of course you should call 911...

I think that would happen far often that people think it does. That's a scenario that some people think is sexually appealing, so it would be scandalous. Guys like to imagine some sexual fantasy...that's about it. In reality, if a woman was THAT drunk, she's most likely puking all over the...
