What Would U Do? (Family In Need Of Help.)

How sad but the way things are today you never know about anyone even those with kids with them. A lot of them use the kids to get into your heart. If I was home alone on a night like that I probably would not even go to the door to begin with but if I did I would probably leave them out there and call for help for them. I sure do hate to say that since that is not the type of person I was raised to be. What would you do?

Well as I'm on my own at night, I wouldn't answer the door but talk through the door ot them and I would phone and get help for them. no way would i let them in, i have three young children asleep upstairs and i have to think of them first,

I'd let them in out of the weather, firstly. I would try my best to get them some help, but if that failed, I would tell them they can stay the night and hopefully things would look better come the next day

the situation is pathetic but on our safer side we should not can give some blankets and all and they can rest in car naa

well,i probabely wouldnt let them in.because im a girl and if i leave alone i dont think its safe to let some strangers come in especially at night.it can be dangerous.considering the cold weather i will make a phone call both to the police and my neighbor.it is safer to get a person that im familiar with involoved.maybe they are not a family but pretend to be like that.and they just want people sympathize with them if someone open the door,they will do somethig bad.

leave them outside and call for help no doubt

I have a resource that I could call, and I would just have to go with my gut instincts when I saw them as to whether I would let them in or have them wait outside. I had a drunk kid knock on my back door one time. I let him sit in my van while I called the cops, and I took him hot cocoa. Hubby was a trucker, not sure where my kids were at that time, but I remember thinking he was not much older than my son. Cops took him home, rather than arrest him, although he was definitely under age for drinking. He even thought he was in a different town. That was what my gut said at the time. A family might be a different story.

In todays world if there were just the two adults I would make them wait outside but I would call the police immediately to help them out. In this case where there are children involved I would take my chances and let them in but I would do all in my power to find them help opposed to staying in my home only for my own safety as today anything and everything happens.

I used to be able to say that I would invite them in without a doubt, but my husband watches too many of the scary movies and although I know that they are not real, the daily news is, so I am not sure.. I guess that I would, but I would not take my eyes off of them until I felt safe enough..

Hi Chevee, In this day and age you got to be so careful because you cannot trust anyone, they might come and then shove you out and take over your home, it can happen, I would ask to go back to their car and you will get help for them, or I just have to trust them and let them in and then call for help. Hugs. Tamara

Given the circumstances, I would probably let them in first then call for help. Call me careless but I wouldn't let them suffer in the cold, specially the children. I might not get a sleep at all over that cause I have to look over my shoulders all the time. But hey, I'll take my chance. Even if I have to sleep with a knife under my pillow.

That very thing happened to me when I was a child. We were traveling across South Dakota on our way to my step mom's family home for christmas. We managed to drive right into one of the worst blizzards that South Dakota had seen for some time. We could not see to drive and were following the cars in front of us when they went off the road. My Dad stoped and snow cleared for a second long enough to see a light and a house off in the distance. I told my dad there is a house over there and he started to drive toward it very slowly. We arrived at the house and were taken in and made to feel at home and part of the family. The people that opened there home to us were a elderly couple home by them selves and probably pretty scared as well. Because of there kindness and unslefishness I am here today to say yes I would open my home to them and call help as I made the kids hot coco. Compassion for our fellow man is a value that many people have lost. How sad is that.
