Just heard about a 911 call on the radio.
'Could you please send an officer over here'?
"What is the problem"?
'My 2 daughters are fighting, one is 14, on is 12 and she's kicking holes in the door. The 12 year old is out of control'.
"Would you like us to send someone over to shoot her"?
Silence
"That was a Joke".
'I don't find that funny, and I will be talking with your supervisor'.
"I understand, I shouldn't have said that. It was just a joke".
etc.
(This was paraphrased from memory)
Anyone hear about this? What think?!

I just read it and it sounds like another case of somebody not having control over their interior dialogue again (the 911 operator)

This reminds me of a story about Fritz Perls, the founder of Gestalt Therapy. A client came in and said he wanted to kill himself. Perls opened his desk draw and gave him a gun. Completely blown away (sorry for poor use of words) , the man stuttered and stammered so Perls suggested they discuss what he really wanted to talk about.

My mother couldn't afford new doors for her house, and I sure would hope she'd call the cops if my sister were kicking them in.
Who calls 911 on their kid? The woman should be given whatever the standard penalty is for unnecessary 911 calls.
Please explain how to handle this situation.
