Dispatcher: I need an available unit to respond to a domestic situation at the Briar Creek Apartments. Caller is stating that her 11 year old daughter is causing a disturbance.
Officer: This is 324, clear me from my current message and show me in route.
Supervising Officer: Dispatch, do we have any indication of what the 11 year old is doing?
Dispatcher: The only thing in the message is that the daughter is causing a disturbance.
Supervising Officer: Can you please make contact with the mother and get the specifics. If she's causing a civil disturbance or in danger of hurting somebody, we'll respond. Otherwise, if it's a disagreement, let her know we aren't sending anybody. She's going to have to learn to be a parent.
o-o-o-o-o
I'm not sure if the Supervising Officer was aware of any past history at this address (it sounded like he was), but I was certainly happy to hear his response.

Agreed! More parents need to 'parent up' :-) Probably a hissy fit because 11 yr old didn't get an iPhone or iPad...
*gasp* He can't say that!!! (But I hope he does, more often...)
