This is the first time something like this has happened to me. As far as I'm concerned, it's akin to giving someone CPR and having them send the police at you for assault.
Sadly, Jason ON, some states have had to enact "Good Samaritan" laws to protect people who try to save a life from being sued by the victim's family if their efforts fail.
Lovely. Add creeping nanny-statism and things will get even more complicated. It'll be safer to not do anything about anything. Until they ask why nothing was done when it could have been...
I was talking to a friend about that, Lee Grupsmith-Pedersen. What happens later when "nothing" happens and people ask why? Why? Because we're repeatedly told not to get involved when a simple word could have changed fate.
If jr. shoots them both and sets the house on fire because of his toxic upbringing you're morally, ethically, and legally off the hook, plus, you were just being a nice guy.
Actually I thought it was quite inappropriate, though if they were going to call the cops about you it should have been when it happened, not now. Maybe they called the cops about someone else.
Really, Gabi Fielden? I just spoke with a woman about the situation and she said, "All you were trying to do was help? How could they be mad at that?"
But, like anything, whether or not to become involved is debatable. I choose to get involved. Why? Because sometimes no one else has the courage to step up and do the right thing.
Except the school can't do anything more than you can, and maybe less, which is why I think going there to confirm their suspicions about the source of their student's poor behavior is the wrong way to help. Calling social services yourself to say you have concerns makes more sense. Introducing yourself and spending more time outside to interact with the family might also be a better choice, if you want to get actually involved. I'm not saying you were wrong to speak up, just that you spoke to the wrong people.
Are you a terrorist? http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/saudi-arabia-declares-all-atheists-are-terrorists-in-new-law-to-crack-down-on-political-dissidents-9228389.html
Of the two of them, we now know which one Vlad "the Mad" Putin believes is the girl in their relationship. For a "macho macho man" like #DonaldTrump that's going to hurt. #TrumpNation http://www.denverpost.com/2017/09/05/vladmir-putin-donald-trump/
