[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 740667, member: 1550"] That sounds scary. I am sorry you had that experience. None of my kids or any I know of ever had this happen with Swat team. Maybe I would be afraid if it had happened My own experiences have been firmness but basically kindness to my daughter when she took drugs. I dont believe the Swat team is the norm. Maybe in some cities where there is high crime perhaps it happens more often. I dont know. I do think that if somebody is acting out dangerously it may be necessary but again my kids did not get into serious legal trouble so I cant say how I would react. None ever acted out in a way that others may have been scared. To be honest, if I saw somebody doing that I may have called the police myself...I would have had no way of knowing that the erratic person wasnt dangerous to myself and others. But again I am not sure....I never saw it. As for the poster's situations I would still advise calling the cops to keep my child from killing somebody else, spending his entire life in prison, or to get the psychiatric help that this young man needs. Thankfully, although most of us have kids who once broke the law the Swat team has not been talked about often. I assume few experience them. Sometimes there are no good options. If this young man kills somebody, his life is over. Over. Thats my fear for him and the person he threatened. Often wayward adults put themselves in danger by acting out dangerously themselves. Its hard for the families of all involved. [/QUOTE]
