Because this bullshit has gone on long enough. There are a great many things that a person can say or do that can be "misconstrued" as a suicidal utterance. However it is not our job to diagnose the mental illness so we would report it and defer it to those who are. We are just the " mandated reporters". Its up to professional to formally assess them and they would be the ones to baker act him. All we would be doing is reporting some as exhibiting possible self harming behavior , altered mental state, a danger to himself or making comments that could be misconstrued.
Perhaps they would just warn him that calls like that will be seen as a self harming or mentally incompetent thing to do and that if they happen again that an evaluation should and will take place. He can be classified as an adult in danger and could possible be given a guardian to properly oversee him because mama yaniv is no help at all
It is not like we would be the ones to put him under lock and key. He obviously needs mental help and this is one way of getting it for him. This is how we get him mandated to receive some professional help and to get him properly diagnosed.
Obviously we would do the nuisance caller thing. But its good to have a backup plan to make sure he understands what calling 911 falsely can unleash. He lives in an apartment building so they can't just ignore his entire address. He could be a great harm to others if a fire starts so we would still have to go on respond him for a fire and such. Now that he has been formally warned, you know he will buckle down and do more fuckery. Its best to have a multi faceted plan when dealing with fuckery.
We don't have time for fuckery when we have other people who really do need our help. Its best to hand him off to professional hands.
