Man if the fucking hotline is working with the cops like this that is all it is doing, it fundamentally cannot accomplish the goal of actually helping people while this is the case. What kind of sickos must work those lines? “Ok honey it’s ok, don’t do anything extreme, your life is valuable ok?” Mutes mic “911 bag em and tag em” unmutes “ok now can you confirm for the record you are suicidal?”

Reminds me I called one of these lines once and it was super sketchy how they dug for personal info. This was so long ago they probably couldn’t quickly map the number to a person too.
