That was my hunch as well. Now that I have talked to the non-emergency community policing office I wil be prepared to act next time. this time, the situation resolved itself just as I decided it was a police matter. Due to the language barrier I was not sure WTF was going on at first. I work with at risk families and I have to say that no matter what I see, I still feel awful each and every time. The CPS follow up officer left me a message to follow up with me today. I wonder what that is about? I will cal her back tomorrow. Thanks to all for the advice and information!
