1. When I was 12 or 13 my mom would never have had to call the cops on me because I was fighting with my brother. My parents put the fear of God into me (to a degree) that they would beat my butt if I didn't listen to them. I can tell you I get plenty of butt whippings.
2. Huge blow-up fights don't generally happen overnight. Why did this mother leave the siblings home by themselves while she was at work?
3. The dispatcher did send 2 officers and the officers were told the family didn't need assistance anymore. If it was that big of a fight, why wasn't it still going on a few minutes later? I think the mother called 911 so she could threaten her daughters with the police coming, which is a huge abuse of the 911 system.
The dispatcher was reprimanded, as he should have been. I would have been mortified if I was that man's supervisor. But a firing? I don't think so. The Police Chief was on the Mike Gallagher show this morning and said the dispatcher was a good employee. A reprimand is all the discipline he'll be getting and I agree with that.
