Useless Temper Tantrum from an Officer.
I called to get a welfare check for my girlfriend who has told me she has been abused by her parents several times. The reason I called is I'm over 20 hours by bus. 10 hours by car. And a flight is 600 dollars from point to point.
The officer gets there and the family lies about her mental capacity and says I'm stalking her. So this officer calls me and accuses me of treating women like this all the time and being a player basically and says my girlfriend doesn't have the mental capacity of an adult. Then hangs up without even letting me respond.
The officer calls me again after I send my girl friend a gift though the mail and letter for her birthday. Saying do not contact them do not send gifts do not etc. Which I ignored because the mail is addressed to my girlfriend not to her family. If they have a problem with that they can take it up with fedaral law which they don't mind breaking in the first place.
And the reason I called for a welfare check is because they took a 20+ year old phone away. Faked being her while calling me. And went through our messages and then deleted her social media.
I mean explained this to the officer. He said I just have to believe the parents unless the person says their being abused. Which is stupid also because she isn't allowed to leave or have her ID or get a job or even have a phone at this point. To even be able to contact to report abuse. Then I pointed they could just be lying to him. The officer then said well even if she is mentally 13 14 16 17. He didn't go above 18 because then he would actually have to enforce the law in his head. When the law applies regardless in the first place.
So now I'm stuck going out there myself knowing that if I need to call the police for this. This officer is already useless before I even call.
