This went down very fortunately. Most often the cops show, find the older son is wanted on some outstanding warrants, the dog gets shot, flash bangs go off, Social Services then shows up and takes the kids.

Cops are not family counselors, therapists, or such. Calling them usually makes matters a whole lot worse. This mom is lucky and the cops deserve a real patience award.

As I was reading the story, I was wondering when it would get to the part where those things happened. What a pleasant surprise that they didn't happen.
