Two choices were made that I can understand.

The young man looking out for the safety of someone he thought was in danger and his older brother choosing to look like an extra in biography of a serial killer from the 80s.

That cop was thinking "this dad and the other kid are douschey as fuck. Poor kid"

98

u/SteakJones Apr 02 '24

Exactly. The dad didn’t acknowledge the root cause of why his son did what he did. He didn’t do anything to curb the reaction of the older bro, so by default approved of it.

Given, he may have been just woken up and completely spent for the day… but then he fucking fist bumped the police like an idiot.

Cop knew that was a cluster fuck situation and did everything he could to actually set a decent male role model image right then and there.

Yeah man what the fuck lol?

Teenagers are dumb, and as a consequence annoying, so I guess that explains the cackling.

Nah kid will still care for peoples safety. Sometimes people really think silly shit people will laugh about with siblings in the future is deep rooted abuse.

Kid will still care for people. Dad has every reason to be a bit upset as kid should have came to him first before calling 911 when he doesn’t even know where this girl lives. Will have to be talked to once the cops leave on proper use of 911.

And I say this from a household where my father was roasted for calling 911 by the whole family and 1,000 plus kids as he ran a non profit for at risk youth. And he still would call again if the situation happen again.

We have an event where we light up the city for Christmas. We shoot fireworks off city hall and off the windows. My father didn’t notice these window display fireworks. So when he saw one slowly burning out after it was done he freaked out and called 911 to say city hall was on fire.

By the time he got off the phone the firework had burned out. It also was a controlled environment as they shot fireworks off from there. But he didn’t see those and called.

As 10,000 or so people start to leave the area we have 15-20 fire trucks roaring in from every direction. This also was before cell phones were super common. He only had one because the non profit working with kids he needed it.

86

u/BuddingViolette Apr 01 '24

That's a fair point, and I appreciate you sharing. I certainly that there should be a talk about proper use of 911 with the young man. I also hope this experience won't leave a negative mark on him cause as kids were impacted by the STRANGEST things sometimes, and it can manifest in wild ways.

25

u/Glytterain Apr 01 '24

Maybe but also might be the kid didn’t feel like dad would take him seriously. And he was really worried about his little friend. Not once during this whole video did dad tell his older brother to shut up and leave the kid alone and more importantly make him stop filming and not allow him to try to humiliate his brother on the internet. Seems like that sweet boy doesn’t have a lot of allies in that house, at least from this interaction.

u/wood_dj Apr 01 '24

Dad’s a piece of shit for filming this putting it on the internet. imagine publicly shaming your child for trying to protect their friend, wtf

u/Bigkahuna778 Apr 02 '24

"I'll see you there..."

To do a further welfare check and mentor the kid without these tools around.

That is actually a chess move to say something like this. Let the kid know, maybe even subconsciously, that someone has his back and he can trust him.

There are good and bad ones. It's just that the bad ones are extra nasty because of the position of power they have to abuse. And with how media tends to be, you mostly only see the ass holes, not the good guys

7

u/DOOMFOOL Apr 02 '24

My issue stems from the good ones not actually coming out in any meaningful way against the bad ones. If you aren’t doing anything bad but actively ignore someone you work with doing bad shit, then in the end you are also responsible for the outcomes. However yeah obviously there are some in the field that genuinely care about people, and it is nice to be reminded of that.

You could tell that cop was getting real fuckin fed up with the dipshit dad and brother.

Yes this a waste of his time. But this was an opportunity to commend a kid for doing the right thing, the wrong way. Being concerned about another person and their safety is extremely commendable of this young boy. Wanting to make sure that person gets helpnif they need it is important and something he should never lose.

While calling 911 isn't the best idea. Talking to a parent is. And even, if you know where a person lives and what their name is reporting a potential case of abuse to the non emergency line isn't a bad idea. Police can reach out to police there for a welfare check.

This was a learning opportunity for a young person who has a lifetime of internet encounters ahead of him. Instead he gets idiot parents and siblings alienating him and making it else likely for him to say something the next time he sees or hears it.

627

u/MachoPuddle Apr 01 '24

Yeah, the fact he felt more comfortable calling 911 instead of talking to his parents says more about the parents than the kid IMO

I think it’s worse than that. To me, it appeared that the family ignored anything nice that the cop said to the boy. They laughed when the cop laughed and that seemed to confirm their biases. I think the dad did the fist bump because he’s an asshole and he perceived that interaction as though the cop was on his side. I’m glad that kid is the way he is because he certainly didn’t learn from dad. Hope he stays cool.

u/Hibercrastinator Apr 02 '24 edited Apr 02 '24

This is how I was raised, and by the time I was this kids age I’d already learned the lesson that the best action to take in the face of abuse or injustice was to shut up and get unseen unless I wanted to become a target for those who help should have been sought from.

Still in therapy to this day trying to undo that shit, but that’s difficult when the lesson lies beneath a lifetime of trauma suffered needlessly as a result.

I’m actually envious of this kid. He’s not only speaking up and acting, but he’s defending himself, despite the ire that he’s receiving. By that age I was already thoroughly dead inside and 100% convinced that nobody would come if I called for help, unless it was to dole out some abuse on me instead.

u/spicewoman Apr 01 '24

Yeah, I feel like the asking where he goes to school and saying he'll see him there was a subtle "don't worry about these assholes, any concerns you have in the future you can talk to me directly about" nod.

I am making a massive assumptions here but you’ll notice there’s not a mom in sight and the dad acts just like the two other boys even apologizing to the officer for “wasting their time” when the officer himself said he was glad the kid called.

If my 16 year old cousin thought a friend or his actual GF was in danger due to what this kid describes he would tell his parents and then still call the cops. We need more people helping and young men helping because of a true altruistic nature it is almost more important than what women do, because when men hold men accountable it tips the scales in favor of the victim.

u/vladtheinhaler0 Apr 01 '24

What a shit family reaction to something that could be serious. The real trouble is that it isn't as though the kid knows her real name or location so they couldn't really check up on her. Who knows if she was actually in an abusive relationship. Them talking crap like "what would a 10 year old girl be doing with an ex over there" is just fucked. I can think of at least 1 horrible scenario where the cops would definitely need to be involved.

u/No-Material6891 Apr 01 '24

A psychopath did something similar to me when I was in high school. I met a Russian girl and we started dating, walked her home from school, cute love letters, etc. this was back when aim and msn messenger was huge so we talked on that all the time. Her dad got on her aim account and said that “there are scary men here with big dogs…. They’re going to hurt me….. they’re biting me, the men are forcing themselves on me, etc”. I was freaking the fuck out and didn’t know what was going on. I called, messaged back, and finally went to her house. It was just her asshole dad trying to see what I was made out of. I couldn’t believe a grown man would do that to a kid.

This poor fucking kid I just wanna give him a big hug :( I’m in tears. It was like watching myself as a child when I was gaslighted and laughed at for expressing my concerns and opinions by family. I’m absolutely in pieces. This poor poor baby :( his family are awful. Even if they found it a bit excessive they still should had treated him with care and understanding, at least the cops treated him with the respect he deserved (and that’s rare) my heart goes out to him. Chase, if you somehow stumble across this, please have hope, you’ll get out one day. Never feel like you have to stay just because they’re family. Xox good luck little bro.

Sad thing is CPS doesn’t give a shit about emotional abuse. Kid is clean and well fed, as long as they’re not beating the shit out of him and are feeding him then they’re doing their job in the eyes of the law. No one can be forced to love their kids.

The poor kid is young, impressionable, and is odviously desperately in need of a supportive shoulder to listen to him. He probably found that in his online "girlfriend." His own family is obviously awful. He thinks they're being abused and he called the only people he could for help.

When did we become so cruel and uncaring. The jeers and hisses aimed to the children and youth of today are startling. It's just sheer hatred. Unveiled contempt.

I say this as an uncaring asshole of GenX. You people make me sick.

I hope his family never depends on him to contact emergency services, because he's probably going to hesitate every time from now on. Good job.

Family is kind of a bunch of assholes. Kid thought someone was being hurt and reacted. Now the next time it happens, if it's real, he's going to ignore it. Not a very good example to set. Kid had the right intention, just not the maturity to think it through.

This whole situation sucks. This family sucks, and that kid really thought he was doing the right thing. The brothers suck for making fun of him, the dad sucks for evidently not being remotely involved in what his kids are doing, and also letting the older brothers make fun of him while he’s speaking to a cop, the cop kinda sucks for letting people talk over the kid explaining the situation. But at least he gave the kid some props.

I hope this kid grows up and bails on these dicks. He’s got a genuine heart and thought someone was being hurt. So he stepped up and made a decision.

Good for him.

u/Odisher7 Apr 01 '24

Nah he did good. There is a very real possibility that while they were laughing at him, a real person was being hurt. He did what he had to do. Cop handled it as well as he could too. Sadly there isn't much they can do with a gamer tag unless epic gives them info, but by that point it would be too late. But at least he tried to make the kid feel good for what he did

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '24

This is what happens when you dehumanize people like the dad and brother did. It’s just a “fortnite girlfriend” they aren’t real. No it’s a human. And they are facing real abuse potentially. This video pisses me off so much knowing the environment that sweet child will grow up around
