Yeah... I mean, I totally get calling the cops if a kid says something like this but people HAVE to consider that the kid might be just making shit up. Don't commit to ruining someone's life until they follow up, right?

I feel like people jump the gun and assume the worst before even hearing any other side to the story. Kids say some weird shit. I've said some weird shit. I almost called the cops on my mom when I was a kid because she threatened to spank me, and I was going to tell them she is going to hurt me and wants to abuse me. I was upset because I had been told that parents shouldn't hurt kids, so her threatening to spank me was SUPER SERIOUS.

It's good that people are putting a stop to a lot of shit that used to get swept under the carpet, but I feel like people are desperate for justice and at some point like the drama, and convince themselves that it's got to be the worst case because that's what they're mentally committed to.
