MSNBC: The woman, identified only as Lori in Wednesday’s Fort Worth Star-Telegram, said she recently phoned authorities after coming home to find her daughters fighting. She told the dispatcher that her 12-year-old had kicked a hole in the door.
A 911 dispatcher was reprimanded for responding to a mother’s plea for help with an unruly child by saying: “OK. Do you want us to come over to shoot her?”
And he’s getting backlash over it, because “Lori” was offended. “Lori” should be mortified that she complained about this. Unless she came home and found a chunk of skin dripping from one of her kid’s bloody mouth or her errant daughter cut herself while kicking a door, why in the hell would she be calling 911? Parental advice??? She should get a Talking To, for having tied up an operator for this…
I swear, having kids should be regulated as a privledge and not a right.
Someone needs to give you a good smack over the head.
Oh, like yer going to be able to do that? hah!
I certainly hope that this “lori” paid a heafty fine for making a false emergency call. This is an example of the kinds of parents who are out there these days, molding their children to be either spoiled dishonest members of middle management or complete psychopaths. Either way its the rest of us who will have to deal with the results.
