Do you think the cops enjoyed that encounter? Cops hate these kind of mental health calls.
She was not going to cooperate, she had lost it. It is clear she was having a mental health crisis and was a danger to herself and others. What are they suppose to do? What would you do?
I am starting to think that perhaps there is some merit to the idea of having social workers respond to these kind of incidents and not LEO. I know the LEOs would be all for it.
Don’t know as though it was a mental health thing. It seems like it was a custody dispute. The girl clearly wanted to live with her father and by the way the mother spoke to her I see why.

I have mentored children from low-income households. Obviously the girl was extremely agitated but I didn’t hear one sentence from the cops that try to calm her down with any kind of sympathy And compassion. Not something that comes from any kind of serious training, just something that comes from common sense and your heart. I will be clear again. I think those cops were monsters and I feel terrible for the little girl. And after reading many of the comments on this thread I can very easily see why we are we are we are in this country right now.
In those kinds of situations, wouldn't a social worker typically be sent to the home, along with the police, to look out for the child? Or does that only happen on TV?
Because what we saw on that video was not the way to deal with a frightened 9yo child.
Apparently dad was on a visit or something and shit flew
