Can’t find even a little humor in this.
Agree 100% on this.
Fondling is probably a most accurate word, but it lends the crime an undeserved humorous aspect.
I remember an incident when a woman called 9-1-1 and whispered so low she was barely intelligible.
She awoke in the middle of the night to find a stranger sleeping in her bed with her.
The dispatcher tried to get her to leave the house and go to a neighbor while police were enroute, but she was terrified and couldn't move.
Police arrived without lights and siren and when she was told they were at the front door she was able to get out and run for the door.
The guy woke up and came after her but her head start got her clear in time and the guy ran into the cops.
It could have been much worse.
To hear bare terror in someone's voice is heartbreaking.
There was an incident in San Francisco where a man was leaving a game, I think, when he saw two guys breaking into his car.
He called 9-1-1 and the 9-1-1 Rcvr gave him a hard time, if I recall correctly.
The tape was released and I could not understand why the dispatcher didn't escalate the priority.
You could hear the fear escalate in the kid's voice.
