Hey everyone!
Okay, today I have a couple questions that all tie into one.
Basically there's this kid named Andy. He's 17, and he's never had a dad, and his mom and her boyfriend are extremely abusive. One time it's to an almost life-threatening point where he's got the generic bruises he always has, but on top of that he's got a really nice ('nice' as in... not nice at all) shard ('shard' as in... SHARD) of glass in his side and it's just a huge bloody mess. The MC (Leon, who is Andy's best friend) finds him and blah blah blah they have their whole "shit bro you okay!?" thing.
Which leads me to my first question. In my experiences, if you call 911 the operator normally says something like "911 what's your emergency?" and you tell them what's wrong, but the most I've ever had to call them for was my mom's ex-boyfriend trashing our front yard. Once Leon said something like "my best friend is really hurt he's bleeding bad etc." what would 911 say?
How many ambulances would come? Would any firemen come (since they sometimes act as first responders)? Would they just leave Leon there, or tell him to come with them (he's also 17)? How the hell does this work?
Now leading us to the second question: hospitals. With a wound like that, would it be a really big deal with surgery and everything? Or would a few stitches do it up? If it was in far enough is there the possibility that he could have hit an important organ or something? (If so, please elaborate.) How long would he have to stay in the hospital?
Now! CPS and Guardianship. Obviously Leon and Leon's older brother (who is 26 and has custody of him) aren't going to let Andy keep this secret anymore. What would CPS do? Andy is 17, and is turning 18 in a couple months' time, so would they still send him to a foster home? Would it be possible for Haku (Leon's older brother) to have temporary guardianship over Andy, just until he turned 18? Is there a possibility that they would just tell him to go on his own?
Also, what would happen to Andy's mom and her boyfriend? They would go to jail, right? Would there be a court case? Would Andy have to testify? How big a deal would it be? How many years would they get, give or take? Is there anything else that would happen that I'm unaware of?
Thank you everyone, so much! I know that's a lot.
Thanks again!
