Teenager rang my doorbell and said she was staying in a hotel and her parents left her around three or four in the morning to go to Sandpoint for her dying grandma, but left her there and told her to find a ride later.

“She asked if I could give her a ride to Sandpoint. I offered to call somebody for her and she said she didn’t know their numbers and didn’t have a phone. Update: called non emergency police line, they had already been notified and were talking to her 👍🏼”
