  Speaker 3: Well, we got a welfare check, you know, welfare check
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: from this. I think the police, the chief of police
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: from Spring City called us and we we need to
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: check because they're afraid that that that this young person
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: is suicidal.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: I am I am heartened that they took this seriously.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: I think this is great. I am glad.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: That I don't saw that and thought that there.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: I don't I don't understand it because there was nothing,
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: there was nothing untoward going on.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: They don't know that.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: They said that they that they thought that this person
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: was suicidal, the person who left the napkin, there was suicide.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: And I love that they took it seriously.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: And what and I what I want to know is
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: why didn't the Spring City police, If they took it seriously,
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: why didn't the Spring City police? They had my license
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: somebody gave him my license plate number off the car.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: Why didn't they come and get me? Well, why didn't
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: they come and find me? I was, I was at
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: the park.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: They probably got did you pay with a credit card?
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: No, they got my light. They said, we had the
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: license number on the uh. We had the license number
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: from the car, the license plate number, and that's how
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: we tracked it down. So why, I just what that's
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: what bugs me about the whole thing is why didn't
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: they come and just find me? If it was so serious?
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: If it was so if everything was so, you know.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: I am glad they took it seriously, and I hope that.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: I just think it's weird. I think there are.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: People that are in Gary situations and if they had
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: a crown and thought, no, maybe I'll write help and
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: they'll come help.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: I Well, apparently they weren't.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: Nobody was that upset about it because because the Salt
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: Lake City cops didn't do anything about it other than say,
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: oh okay, Aaron, Spring City, Huh yeah, they haven't come
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: back yet. No, okay, So yeah, who's who's who in
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: this situation was taking it seriously?
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: That's what I want to whoever saw that and said,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: uh oh, we should call somebody and let them know.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: I I think it's a good thing. Maybe someone at
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: the diner.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, probably whoever was clearing the table.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: I think if I saw a help and there.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Was a young person that had written it with some adults,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: you don't know what the relationship is.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: With the with those people. I take this as a positive.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: I would have if so if it were me, and
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: I would the server, I would have said to the people,
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: is everything okay?
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Well they might not have noticed till you left, like
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: they're clearing the table, and then there's a napkin there.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: And they they they how did they get the license
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: play of the car? They they obviously were watching and
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: you know, well they were cleaning up the table and
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: saw that, and then and then they were watching to
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: see what car we went to exactly. They were watching
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: to see what car we went rather than saying, is
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: everything okay?
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Would you approve?
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: I don't know, that's what I would do.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's a positive. I'm glad
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: somebody's paying attention because because your situation is not scary,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: but for somebody that might be in one, that should
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: be heartening for people to know that somebody would notice that.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: I just want to know why, But why didn't If
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: it was that serious a situation, why didn't the Spring
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: City police come and find me?
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: They may not have known where you work? I mean,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: how would they know you're at the park? Would they
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: know you're at the park? Just look around so we're
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: you know, that's what police do. They look around. How
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: many Spring City cops are there?
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: I don't know, not many. I don't have any idea.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: I just think it's weird that they didn't that they
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: didn't you know.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Well, you know what, Carrie, He's right, nothing like that
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: happened to me this weekend. You're right, we were thinking
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: maybe we had nothing like that.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: I thought it was very strange, the whole thing, and
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: and and plus why didn't they arrest my son?
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Clown made nothing? They believe me if there was a law,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: So the cop, he said.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: The cop did say to him, but before he left,
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: he said, so, uh so, what's with the what's with this?
