WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

That is the question today. About 4 a.m. you hear a female screaming. There is a lot of screaming.
What would you do?
Several years ago, about a 5 minute drive from here if there is no traffic, a young woman was screaming for her life and no one called the police even though they heard her. NO ONE. She was raped and killed.
Last night or should I say this morning at about 4:00 a.m. I was woken up by the screaming, loud and long, of a female. I was sleeping at the front of the house in the guest room due my coughing.
I was down the stairs, out the front door with the phone in my hands in a flash. Barefoot, in my pyjamas.
Across the street, half a block down was a girl at the bus stop shrieking over and over again. She was by herself so I didn’t go right down to her. I called 911 and they kept me on the phone. They had multiple people phoning in.
Every time I went a little closer my phone would start cutting out and the dispatcher said to stay where she could stay in contact with me.
By this time my 24 year old son was out there with me. The girl started to wander back and forth across the street then went behind a building. My son went nearer to her and she was crying and saying “ I want to go home” and “help me”.
He kept his distance a bit because we didn’t know what we were dealing with and we also didn’t want the police to taser him by mistake. I advised dispatch that the male there was my son.
The police were on their way and by this time two more people showed up in their cars. They lived further away and came to see what was going on.
She was not ignored. Her screams brought in multiple calls to the police and people showed up to help.
Finally the police arrived, 3 cars. She was young. She said she was raped. I had my son and the other woman who was there at this time move further away from her while she spoke with the police. We didn’t need to be voyeurs into this part of her life.
The key here is that many people called the police and 4 of us showed up to help.
