[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 740607, member: 1550"] I never had experience with this, true. My difficult kid never talked this way. But he threatened suicide and I called 911. Not the same thing I know. My youngest is in law enforcement. People threaten cops a lot to their faces. Unless they do it or try nothing terrible happens. Most likely your son would be taken for help, which he desperately needs. That is so not normal to talk that way even in despair. Most cops go into the dangerous profession to help. You hear about the bad ones on the news. They are not most. Most never shoot anyone or even come close. If your son pulls a gun they will hope he doesnt shoot. They wont shoot just because they heard another threat. Your son needs a hospital or maybe he will pull that gun one day. On somebody. There us no way you can know if he had a breakdown and is serious. Nobody thinks their family member would ever kill anyone. If it happens, and it does, I am sure the loved ones have many thiughts of how they may have stopped it. Of course nobody can tell you what to do but in my opinion only (and everyone is different) I would want to help by reporting that my child is having dangerous thoughts of killing. You dont need to be specific .Your son needs a hospital. To tell you how I deal with stuff, I turned my daughter in at age 16 for drugs. Eventually she quit. At age 20. I felt I needed to act, not just talk. Again this is just my own input. I wish you luck. You certainly have much thinking to do and we will support any decision you make. Promise! [/QUOTE]
