If it is a cry wolf situation the police will get to the bottom if it as they are aware this happens but also a same time have to treat it seriously in case it is the truth.

Mel, I didn't start this thread because I'm actually facing this problem and needed advice from Accy Webbers. I was interested after Katex, and then Jambutty, asked Kash what he would do if he knew about a planned terrorist attack, and how we would face a terrible dilema if someone we cared about had done a terrible thing.
Nothing is ever cut and dried, no matter what some people say on here. Life's an awful, messy shade of grey, and not black and white.
