Started a post by saying "I'm not a parent but..." is all well and good. But, you really have no idea what being a parent is.

People who aren't in THE situation have no idea what they would do. It's got nothing to do with being a parent. You could have 50 kids and still have no idea with regards to THE situation.

We are all equally disqualified from making an objective judgement (bar one).

This thread wasn't started because of the problem - it was posted because there were questions about the solution. And there's only one person who can answer those questions.

I can clearly imagine the situation.... and I am 99.9% sure that I'd not call the police.

You missed the point.
