2 children found living in abandoned bus in Texas

58. I did NOT say that, I pointed out no LOCAL Government

Most complains involving children, people do NOT viewed the child as in danger and thus NOT an "emergency". In fact I do not see anything in the article that reaches that level. 911 is NOT to be used ti get information. 911 is NOT for people to call about a sub-standard home. In most parts of the US that is done to the local government who then contacts Children and youth. Police may be involved but generally are not, for the children are not in danger that very minute, thus they is no one to arrest for no crime is being done. Going without shoes, only bathing twice a week are not CRIMES, even in Texas. Thus 911 is NOT used for the problem is deeper and needs investigation and that is NOT done by the local Police nor the County Sheriff. Thus the comment that 911 is available is true, but irrelevant. This is like reporting an abandoned shack as a fire hazard, if it is NOT on fire you do NOT call 911 to report the shack, you call your local Government, and in much of the Rural South there is no local Government so no one to file a compliant with, and that lack of local government means no one LOCALLY to complain to, so nothing is done.
