(6,348 posts)I called 911, as stated in the OP several times.
But the fact remains that I take any injury to a child seriously, and I and every one else (I believe) has a legal DUTY to report it. There's no option of anything that could be later interpreted as a "cover up."
The OP, like any document, needs to be read as a whole. I've found, via a year of experience, that nobody gets anything close to the truth by reading the papers, because it seems the word "stabbed" just doesn't create the visual possibility of the CIRCUMSTANCES that greatly mitigated the trauma here.
on edit: Regardless of sanity or insanity, criminality or not, an injury of this type has to be reported, and I also wanted immediate medical attention, as well as a police investigation immediately (though frankly I had not expected them to ignore the evidence of insanity to the full extent that they did). So, it was a no brainer to me to call 911. Yet I asked my son more than once to get me the phone and he "couldn't find it" though I told him where it was. I think he sensed that a 911 call would lead to more reaction than he wanted to see, but again I think there's a duty to call, and there was cause to call, because I'm not a doctor so my conclusion that it all seemed OK would not hold necessarily if there were serious internal injury.
