    You were blessed to have your friends dad show up. Sometimes they do weird shit like grab your wrist so when you pull away they can get you for resisting and they beat your ass after situations like that.

      Oh yeah, I’m 100% glad he got there when he did, it was January and literally freezing, and I’m sure they would have done something to get the excuse they were waiting for.

      If you or someone you care about has the SOS feature on their phone (specifically the one that you can specify NOT to call the cops for) then have them set it up to get ahold of someone they trust.

      My wife’s phone is set so when she mashes the power button a bunch, it automatically sends me and her best friend a text with a customized message, in this case just “SOS I NEED HELP ASAP SOS” her approximate location based on cell towers and if her fitness watch is on or phone GPS is active, her GPS coordinates and a link to follow the signal.

      She watches a lot of crime docs, so got paranoid about being kidnapped or in a situation she can’t take out her phone without an excuse. So all she needs to do is be able to press the side button repeatedly.
