Omigosh! I can imagine TDH's crisis. His inner instinct was to call 9-1-1. He let himself be talked out of that by his mom. He let himself be talked into it by you. The consequences of calling sooner or not at all would've been huge.

I hope he realizes his agency in this. His initial instinct was to call 9-1-1. When he was talked out of calling 9-1-1, he called you--I bet a part of him wanted to be talked back into taking action. We seek the support we want. The same way WW partners change-up their friends to find people who support their new lifestyle. The same way I've been changing up my friends as I strive to be more genuine about who I am with others. You both were amazing. He saved someone's life doing what the officer says (and I believe) the vast majority of people would not have done. Props.
