Was I wrong for this? ?

So my friend texts me that she swallowed a lot of pills in a attempt to kill herself. I send the cops to her house but she got mad at me because they tried to take her child away. Was I wrong??

    You are completely right. If she had killed herself, then she wouldn't have the child either, it is right that you did the right thing at the right time!

    Absolutely not. You did the right thing and if she's mad at you just drop her and move on. She has serious issues anyway.

    Nope. Trying to commit suicide (even if it's just an attention getting exercise) with a kid in the house is definitely proof that that you're not a fit parent.

    You were not wrong.  You dealt with a big problem,  the type none of us every wish to have to deal with  and you did the right thing.

    According to the information you received from your friend she is attempting to commit suicide which is illegal. Hence you are not wrong in sending cops .

    Absolutely not. She reached out to you and you acted on her text. You did nothing wrong.  I would have done the same.  She will get over it.  Maybe next time she feels a bit down, she will re-think what she did.  People........want attention but when the attention does not produce the results THEY want.. they get angry.  SMH

    You were right. The child didn’t need to see her mother dead and the mother doesn’t deserve to die. She needed help. Good on you

    Hello concerned one you wasn’t wrong for being a concerned friend in trying to look out for the best interest of your friend safety and life. Could you have took other less drastic steps before calling the police? Maybe only you know how far you live from your friend or if anyone else could of got to her first or if she would of opened the door etc. A wise caring person who sees possible danger especially with a friend who might end their life usually tries to protect that person if possible in anyway they can. You did the only thing you thought was right or logical in a difficult situation pray your friend see pass the negative part of her decision and the position she put you in and see that you were concerned about her life more and in time hopefully she will forgive you get any needed help she needs to deal with whatever caused her to try to take pills that could harm her and jeopardize her child life in the future if she wasn’t around. Try to keep a calm and pray for peace of mind. At least you cared enough to try to do something that’s a good friend because many people would not have possibly took her seriously before it was too late. Everyone doesn’t show natural affection for others as you did.

    She maybe was sad about why the baby's dad not there or something or maybe that the baby is not hers actually and he's always tell her etc so that why she maybe try take the pills . Even though she love the baby she know is not hers and or the guy is cheating etc or not maybe she married or whatever but I think it's something about the baby etc .or maybe is girl and he want boy etc something I don't know but I think she stressed when tell you but like say I think something like maybe not think serious but then serious so ya that probably why so reasons
