Advice for men. Never have kid in US. There is whole extortion business that will rob you if you make slightest mistake. My friends, fresh immigrants, had an accident in kitchen. Mother cut a little thumb while preparing dinner. Not knowing what to do they call 911, like what they would do in their home country. The following was like in a apocalyptic movie, police interrogation, do husband abuse you, are you sure he doesn't abuse you 5 times for an hour. Following visit for months from 3 latter agency checking in if kids are safe. If you are planning kids move out of US first. Don't even start thinking about divorce.
- watwut 4y agoThey called 911 over cut little thumb while cooking? Or did she somehow accidentally cut off whole finger? Who in the world and where ever calls 911 for normal cooking cuts? And ... what does this has to do with children? Or like, they somehow cut of kids little finger so badly that kid needed 911 and now they wonder why there is investigation? There is no explanation here that makes sense.
- slaw 4y agoNormal cut. Immigrants. They didn't know how to stop bleeding. Is it too difficult to imagine?
- brianwawok 4y agoYes your story is suspicious at best.
- rchaud 4y agoUnless their English made the injury seem catastrophic, it's difficult to imagine a 911 dispatcher listening to that call and thinking it merited sending cops (or even an ambulance) over.

- watwut 4y agoYes, it is super difficult to imagine. There is no country in a world with healthcare system where this would be normal. It would need to be super rich country with incredibly generous health care system, but they dont do this in Sweden and what not either.
- not_the_fda 4y agoCalling 911 for a "cut thumb" is suspicious. Could very well have a been a fight with an abuser and been bullied into saying they cut their thumb cooking. Wellness checks are common if you go to the hospital. I, a large man, was asked repeatedly if I felt safe at home with my small spouse, when I went to the ER for a cut.
- slaw 4y agoI wrote fresh immigrants. Calling 112 when you don't know how to stop bleeding is perfectly normal outside US.
- not_the_fda 4y agoAnd you expect the local police to know the nuances of a every different country. In the US, if you call 911 they will handle it as a life threatening emergency.
- slaw 4y agoIn US they will handle it as another money grab scheme.
- saiya-jin 4y agoThis is normalized system fuckupery US style. Surreal in Europe, at least for 3 countries I lived & worked in. People have common sense in such a topic, and that includes cops, judges, hospital staff and well everybody involved.
- slaw 4y agoIt is a culture difference. In Europe when my wife cuts her thumb I call 112 to ask for help how to stop bleeding and where is the closest emergency room. In US police squad is sent immediately for domestic violance investigation.
- watwut 4y agoWho in the Europe calls 911 for cut thumb? Seriously.
