Life Not a Humblebrag, but interesting thing just happened... - Page 3

So I'm leaving my house to meet the family for a late lunch. I get to the end of the street, and running along the parallel street is a girl, 8-9 years old, wearing only a diaper. I roll down the window to try and ask where she's supposed to be, and she keeps running. I get out and follow her for a while, and she runs onto 78 highway and starts running down through traffic.
My daughter was in my car, so I didn't want to follow this girl too far, but some other people had stopped, I made sure they had called 911, and went back to my car.
I get in my car and turn the direction she was running, and she had made it quite a way, and traffic was stopped in all directions. Several older people were trying to grab her and hold her with little success. I'm a SPED teacher, and CPI certified (basically how to hold children who are a danger to themselves or others), so I pull off the road, and go step in to put her in a "child protective hold." She was, understandably, scared out of her mind, unable to communicate, and spent the whole time (till police arrived) trying to hit, kick, and bite me and others (the hold was difficult, as she had no clothes on, and was sweaty from running.
So anyway, cops showed up, got my info, and I left. But now I'm always gonna be wondering what that was all about, if she's safe, etc.

ya good goin. I bet if you call that police dept and tell them who you are and some details, they will get you in touch with the attending officer and you'll at least get some kind of indication.

I'm sure some of it will be, but I'd bet they can at least give you the gist of it.

I have a low-functioning autistic cousin who used to do shit like this in Philadelphia. The family had to move because she was so set on getting out of the house, and they lived right near the freeway. She's 25 now and still wears a diaper :-\

I'm curious, though. How do you get certified in putting a child in a "child protective hold"? For your final exam, do they have midgets run around a courtyard while you try to catch them?

Way to not turn your back on someone in need, Sully...I'm afraid many do, nowadays...

Police reports are open records. Our department gives copies, just whites out names in the report.

We have two state schools in the area I work, the holds you speak of, I've seen work and fail in action. Couldn't pay me enough to do that job. Hold a 14 year old with man strength, until he calms down. No thanks.

Good job on the kid, too many people will look the other way and not help. You seem like a good person, dude.

It also helps that this kid wayyy overplayed his hand, complained of nonexistent injuries and damages, and that our school resource officer was present the entire time my restraint of him was taking place. I'll be honest, though, when I got that letter from the state, I seriously wished I had actually done the things he accused me of. That's some career ending shit, if it hasn't gone my way.

And this is the singular reason that many people choose not to get involved. It's not because they don't care, it's because you don't know what crazy idiot is going to make shit up and try to sue you because you were trying to do the right thing!

Glad you do the work you do, it's not for everyone it requires great patience and the ability to try to help those who may never have the ability to thank you for what you do.
