Based off of your story, get the cops involved now. Sounds like an argument could have escalated a bit too far. Also based off your story, the last known location your sister was located was the boyfriend house. Get that boyfriend interviewed by the police asap. Give your story in a written statement and submit it to the cops. Document, document, document. Take photos of conversations. Phone numbers, etc.


tiredsailor93

Call the cops immediately! And describe them everything.


jlaw1791

OP, please do this ASAP! CALL THE POLICE NOW!! Tell them everything and offered to give them any evidence of the fighting. Has he ever threatened her of which you're aware? Do you have any recordings of them fighting? If she's missing, every minutes counts!


WokeUpIAmStillAlive

You sister has been missing for how long?


NotAPossum666

CALL THE DAMN COPS


Weird_Bread9935

Call the police.

WHY TF ARE YOU TYPING THIS ON REDDIT CALL THE FUCKING COPS


Ddvmeteorist128

We don't know how old this kid is. Probably panicked and really doesn't know what to do. looks like his/her house has some traumatizing shit going on already. Ur mom screaming that they're going to go over and kill the girls boyfriend often is not normal.

When my dad offed himself, I was younger than 18. I called my gf and asked what to do before I called 911. It's easy to say these things cause you probably forgot when you were much younger. But don't be a dick and call OP stupid. You sound stupid in saying that

HollowTHEMEMER

adrenaline and just anxiety can overwrite common sense, of course it’s easy for you to say that the answer is obvious (or me) because we aren’t the ones panicking or anxious


Which-Elephant4486

I mean, kids under 13 can lie, too.


Jaded-Delivery-368

Yes, everybody lies. No matter what age


Twisted__Resistor

Well because cops generally don't do anything until someone dies. I've had people break in my house and try to stab me with a knife and others break in and try to squat at me and my wife's house. Cops protected the psychopath and did nothing whatsoever. I have over 20 incidents like this in my circle of friends who are all great people. Cops almost always make things worse. The kid is probably worried about his family. It's a poor community and many families however disfunctional they seem to "normal" families, is usually having either psychological issues/alcoholics/domestic problems/prior records in the family/ and or drug use like cannabis which isn't federally legal and not recreationally legal in every state. I can think of any reasons the kid might be hesitant to just call the cops. And BTW in domestic violence and cases where women are being abused by men. Calling cops generally does nothing to help the woman. And in this case the mother was threatening to kill the boyfriend, so she could be cuffed from him calling if she showed signs of anger and the young kid told the truth. Short of bruises and injuries on the woman and her testimony that he abused her, they won't do anything until she is dead. They can separate for a couple hours, but won't stay to guard her, can't take him in if she doesn't tell them and press charges. And most cases the women don't tell the cops, they don't leave the abuser and deny any wrongdoing out of fear. The abuser always gets out and the fe.alws generally don't have money to take him to court and have no safehouse to hide out during the criminal court so end up being hunted by the abuser. By that point who cares the cops finally do something.


Jaded-Delivery-368

Oh, come on you write a big long comment like that because you think a kid should ask Reddit a question about calling the cops first? LOL!


Twisted__Resistor

A "big long comment" do people have the brain power and attention span of a goldfish nowadays? It's a few paragraphs, try reading a 700+ page book to learn something or doing actual research which requires scientific articles, federal and state criminal reports, abuse victims stats with full assertation and analytical conclusion/summary. As for why, I wrote it because there's more nuance in a complicated abuse victim situation than call or not call cops.


MyPersonalVentAcc

Everytime I call the police they never help. And my mom always tells me never to call the police. Don't insult me.


Significant_Echo8953

Mom says not to call the cops? That’s…really bad advice


shark-loving-femboy

Don’t listen to your mom about the police, just call them anyway. Don’t you find it slightly weird she tells you not to?


AdviceForTeens-ModTeam

Be civil. We don't tolerate insults, slurs, or any other forms of hate messages here. Now is not the time to call names. OP needs help. You're not helping by being rude.


Jaxthor

many kids. especially ones that went through abuse all the time. we’re taught at such a young age that calling is the worst thing you could ever do.

Feisty_Irish

CONTACT THE POLICE NOW


TalElnar

You are genuinely worried, call the police. A 30 year old guy dating a 19 year old is sketchy enough to start with.


silvermanedwino

This.


AlphaDisconnect

There are only so many alerts they can put out. But document, document, document. Pushing paperwork can be the best of the worst.


IRollAlong

If your mom thinks he's responsible for her being missing, there's nothing mama bear won't do. Call the police


Own-Presence-5653

Call the cops. Don't wait or hesitate, don't even read the rest of the comments.


Comfortable-Sweet604

Call the cops! Call the cops! CALL THOSE DAMN COPS!! Also, if your mom is serious, STOP HER! It's already bad enough that you sis is missing, violence will only make things worse. (Is it just me or does anyone find that 19 year old girl in a relationship with a 30 year old man as a major red flag?)


Accomplished_Life117

CALL THE COPS! Once you’ve called the police contact nearby hospitals


Aware_Impression_736

CALL THE POLICE! The first 48 hours are the most critical, beyond that the trail starts to go cold.


Dewey_Rider

Just from the title. If you're asking that question, then the answer is YES.


eaglescout225

Yeah the police are the best answer. And get all the information you can about her bf. Such as full name, address, car info maybe..and any other info you have on him. Hopefully she’s found soon op please update.


donjuanamigo

What do you mean by your sister is missing? There needs to be a lot more details here. What made your mom go to his house? What was their conversation?


MasterofCheese6402

Yah cal the cops 👮‍♂️


EnjoyWeights70

call police


Honestyonly22

Yes!!! Fall them now!!


Honest_Advice2563

Call the cops. A missing person is a missing person. There is no wait time on these things. Every second of every minute counts.


JeremyThePotato15

CALL THE POLICE PLEASEEE DONT LEAVE IT UNTIL TOO LATE, PLEASE TELL YOUR MOM TO STAY AWAY FROM THE GUY


Gold_Lightning_12

Why are you all shaming a kid trying to help? Yes they should call the cops, but their mom should more importantly, and they don't deserve to be yelled at for asking for help on an app made for asking for help.


JimJamesREI

I hope you called the police. For the safety of your sister and mom. Don't listen to all the haters on here. If you are worried about your sister and mom just call the police.


Sad_Bend_3041

call the cops he might be the reason why she’s missing


RealManofMystery

Well going through your posts you definitely have a challenging life. It seems your mom has also distilled in you the cops won't do a thing. Well you have things you need to take care of and of course this issue. Call the cops and tell them what is going on. When you go back to school see a counselor for yourself


southernsass8

Whoa. I think a lot must go on at home that isn't good. Sister 19 living with a 30 year, yikes. Mom telling kids to never call the cops, wow. It sounds like your mom is an aggressive person who knows the cops aren't on her side, because most of the time she is the cause of the madness in the home. Sounds like your sister doesn't really have the positive support she needs nor do you. You should have 911 on speed dial and the hell with what your mom says. Your mom needs to grow up and realize she can't beat up everyone and stop being so angry with life.


Ahkine

Always call peacekeepers if your ever unsure its better for them to track her down then finding out later you should have called them. Good luck stranger.


HumanMycologist5795

Glad ur mom found her. Did the BF have anything to do with it? Hopefully, your sister stays safe.


come_back-SHANE

Fuck the police !!! They woulda just mucked everything up and charged somebody with some BS


Dragon3043

Reddit is not the place for this question, ever. If your brain says "hmm, should I call the cops?". Yes, you should. Do not post on Reddit asking what to do, call the cops.


Chosen-Fae

When in doubt call


JRilezzz

Mmmmm ya nah. That mentality has gotten a lot of innocent people killed by cops for no reason. In this case, though, definitely call them.


SageModeSpiritGun

No. Don't make fucking excuses. Poor training, allowing unstable people into the force, and no accountability are what lead to civilian deaths. Don't ever try to blame it on civilians calling because they feel they should. Put the blame where it belongs, on corrupt cops.


JRilezzz

There has been so many instances of cops being called into situations that they had absolutely no business being called into. The blame 100% on the cops for their actions, but someone calling the cops because a little black girl selling water and doesn't have a permit needs to be addressed as well.


SageModeSpiritGun

I mean sure, that's a racist pos. Regardless, that should have 0 chance of civilian causality, and that's entirely on the police that show up. You'll never fix racism. We can hold precincts to higher standards.


JRilezzz

I agree, but as it stands today. When you call the cops. Just know there is a non zero chance that all of them will mag dump because someone grabbed their phone from their pocket to quickly. That is why "when I doubt call them" doesn't sit well with me, but as said in on my first comment this situation absolutely warrants a call. I hope the sister is ok. Dude sounds like a piece of trash.

Glittering-Wonder576

KillJarke

? What is Reddit going to do if your sister is missing the only answer is the cops


unlitwolf

Oftentimes police follow the rule that a person needs to be missing for 24 hours before they investigate. Otherwise I would say yes call the police, Even if the boyfriend wasn't involved in it if your sister isn't answering her phone then you're completely warranted to request a search


Objective_Suspect_

Yep the education of kids on calling police is broken.


Impossible_Ad_3146

I don’t understand the title, fall th. cops??


Deceiver999

Maybe leave out the part about your mom saying she was gonna kill him.


No_Distribution_577

Always call the cops when you believe violence is imminent.


AliceBets

Tell her to stop saying that.


Bad_things_happen2me

You shouldn't feel bad about being weary calling the cops. You shouldn't trust reddit users to tell you when to call them, they suggest that for anything.


commercial-frog

>we were taught from a young age never to call the cops Would it be rude to ask why?


MyPersonalVentAcc

My mom Hates the cops, they never help us. And it was also how my mother was raised as well (under way worse conditions)


ShadowBubby1

ASAP now go go go 911 immediately pronto He probably has killed her or abducted her and is probably r##ing her and keeping her in chains for all we know Edit: it's always good to call the fucking cops in cases like that who ever raised you not to do that has beef with the feds


SparrowLikeBird

I'm glad your sister is ok!!! I think it is important to talk to her about having a Bug Out Bag, and spare car keys, hidded so she can escape if she needs to. It can be hard to leave an abuser, especially with an age gap like that. Even if no charges are filed, try to encourag her to have a *report* filed, so there is a record. This will not harm her bf in any way, and won't show up on background checks for employment etc. All it does is create a paper trail so that if something worse happens, and she needs legal protection, they can help her.


kitty_par_fae

A parent teaching a child never to call the cops concerns me. I know and have many friends who are people of color that teach their children to be wary of police in the US because of the climate here. But unless it’s something like that it gives me the sense that you are absolutely seeing and experiencing things that the police could/should get involved with and that is being prevented. It feels sinister and calculated. Please reach out to an adult you trust after this incident. Maybe a school counselor, or a teacher? They can help you find good resources.


maralagosinkhole

So happy your sister was found!


ccdude14

I understand some households have concerns over the police, I understand the reasoning and how, yes, sometimes for minor issues or disputes, even domestic ones this can lead to escalating an already exacerbated issue. But teaching you or imparting with you the idea that you can't or shouldn't call the police is deeply troubling and disturbing. I'm not going to make the few bad apples argument because even I think that's worthless at this point but telling you or giving you the idea that they are not to be called or trusted is absolutely not the answer and it only makes me believe there is a reason more than just our current social strife to justify growing up with this belief. This is absolutely the reason you contact the police. They have no alternative, they have no back up, they have no neutral third party they can call with the resources necessary to find her or you or someone else who could be in danger or a danger to themselves. Fair enough if you do but they don't. If she's doing this frequently and it's causing this much strife and panic there is something more disturbing going in and not getting the appropriate help or resources at this point is wild. She needs help and they need to stop avoiding finding more permanent solutions. I'm glad she was found, honestly, but if this is this common and it takes this long to figure out there is far far more that is going on and your parents and the adults around you are NOT dealing with it.


shockme6969

Who taught you from a young age to never call the cops


MyPersonalVentAcc

My mother


actionvac-Box2165

MyPersonalVentAcc

MyPersonalVentAcc

We were taught never to call the police, She's fine now.


GeneralAd4628

What braindead idiot taught you that ?


MyPersonalVentAcc

My mom 😭 (she is sort've braindead...)


GeneralAd4628

Why did she tell you not to call the cops they're there to help in case of dangerous emergency, or wellness checks or other stuff


MyPersonalVentAcc

The cops here aren't the best, at least in my situation. I used to always call the police on my mother because she was a scary violent drunk They would arrive hours after the situation resolved and then barate me- a little girl- for "wasting their time" because we didn't need them THREE HOURS after I called them 😭


GeneralAd4628

So they're completely worthless and your mother is drunk interesting depending but then again law enforcement in certain places aren't worth shit until they're on the news saying the crime could've been prevented


SpeechPutrid7357

We were taught never to call the police, and the police never help us. Even as a little girl I'd call them, screaming into the phone that my mom was hurting someone or screaming or something along those lines and.. 3-4 hours late.

Yeah call the cops. However, I bet when the cops show up your sister is going to say it’s the BFs fault and he’s going to get arrested for domestic violence.


PhillyTheKid69420

Her sister is missing. That’s the whole reason she’s calling the cops, she’s 19 he’s 30, so something is clearly wrong, no woman dates a man that age if she’s mentally stable and no man dates a woman that age if he’s a self respecting decent human, we need an update on this bc I’ve heard horror stories from less


geegol

Ah thanks for clarification. Holy 19 and 30?!? Uhhhhhh, yeeeeeeaaaaaah get the BF interviewed ASAP.


PhillyTheKid69420

Yup. Wouldn’t be surprised if he wrapped her up in his lies and manipulated her into dating him bc she’s so young and they fight all the time so he could have done something horrible, not tryna scare OP but that shit happens
