Worried

My best friend Kim's brother threatened to kill her and her whole family. He was freaking out and when her mom went on the phone to call the police he came up behind her to try to choke her and Kim yelled to stop and he got out a knife. I'm so mad because when the cops got there he acted all calm and made Kim and her mom and sisters look dumb. The cops took him to the hospital to get evaluated, but I know too well, because my grandpa has done it before, he's going to lie to the doctors and convince them he's alright. And Kim's mom doesn't want to take him to a hospital for some dumb reason. If she doesn't Kim and her sisters will have to be taken away from her mom's care to probably live with hers and my best friend Allyson. I just hate seeing her go through so much pain. I love her and her sisters so much and it just kills me inside. I don't know what I would do without her. I know people, and I'm honestly about ready to have him killed. I know there isn't much I can do except be there for her, but I just want to make everything better. She's my best friend and I love her.

I'm really sorry to hear about the problems that are going on. It's not right at all. They didn't have any proof? Or do you think that possibly they didn't say anything because maybe they think he might actually hurt them? I don't know what to say but hang in there and be there for here. I'm sure she is really really greatful.

^^So you can choke your mom and pull a knife and then expect people not to phone the cops? if I laid one finger on my mother or got out of control in her house, I fully expect her to phone the police. There are consequences to actions, if one does not like them, they should re-evaluate the behaviour, his mother and sisters should not have to live in fear.

If this is an isolated example then i agree with Jarred if my son feaked out i would try and understand why before doing anything, the reason why he pulled out a knife and choked his mother was because of the mothers reactions if mum simply waited for calm and then talked to her son and then if need be get him to go get help then this wouldnt of happend. im not dumping the blame on mum and would not judge her or any of the people involved but if things were done differently this could be avoided ...

peace love and light

My sister has an ex-bf, one night out of the blue he threatens her, almost shoves her down a flight of stairs, locks himself in the attic and we ha dto call the cops to come remove him, when they arrived he was fine all of a sudden and was taken in for evaluation, the saddest part is his dad was head of the Psych. Board and he never did anything for him, but enable the behaviour. If this is not an isolated incedent, the next step could be what happened to my sister. If it happens in the home, chances are it would happen outside of it as well. No one should have to live in fear in their own home. Sometimes parents do have to pick up that phone and unless we are there to witness it or we are in that situation we cannot speculate, she was obviously attempting to do what she thought needed doing.
