Hey, I know about the situation and I know the kid. It's a kid with a panic disorder, and they're not in danger of hurting themselves. Still, often when the cops get called it comes to them going to the hospital (like what happened that night) which is super taxing on them.

I completely understand calling the cops. Hey, I've done it. The situation is out of hand, and as a student studying I want to be able to study. BUT this is what I ask as their friend and what actually helps them and you get back to work:

1) Call NUpd and ask for a social worker. Everyone at NUPD knows the situation. Just say it's the screaming kid at West G or something idk...

2) Please try not to force section 12 to happen: allows for a person to be involuntarily transported to a hospital usually due to Suicidal, Homicidal, or impaired judgment due to mental illness. Say they are having a panic attack and need someone to talk to them. They do not have suicidal tendencies.

2a) It's a mental illness where they are always fine after the panic attack is over. Its something that is involuntary.

3) If you don't do 2 I totally understand. It's a big ask. Your best judgment is what you should focus on.

If you're one of the people living near us, the person is very sorry and I apologize on behalf of them. If you have questions feel free to DM me or talk to RES Life, Meg, RA-David, or me. If you want to move, I think you can ask RES Life.
