Concord resident feels like she's being harassed by the Concord Police. Here's her story:

From Concord Citizen, Mama Bear said... My son has been running away four times in the past month. He is 15 years old. I contacted police last Thursday after he got agressive with me and they found him and returned him Friday. Officer Ligouri told me to "cook him his favorite meal and let him go play" as advice on what to do. He then ran away as soon as the officer left. I was told they cant do anything unless he hits us or commits a crime. Well, Monday night, 9/16/13, he committed a crime of battery or attempted battery and was drunk according to the "polite" officer (Magley)who proceeded to yell at me and told me to come get him because "she was not going to parent my kid." I asked her to call an ambulance to have my son taken to a hospital for assessment--she then screamed at me "I AM NOT CALLING AN AMBULANCE. She went onto say she could only release him to me. NO CONSEQUENCES! In the car, my son again got aggressive with me and pushed me backwards...I called and they asked what "I wanted them to do." I told them if they needed to evaluate for 5150 as I am concerned for my son's well-being and his safety and the safety of others. This phone call came to me at 11:14 pm and the officer said he would evaluate him and call me back. I waited up all night without a return call--I finally contacted them at around 11 am on the 17th...they told me they released him to his parent. HIS PARENT--MY HUSBAND AND I ARE HIS ONLY PARENT. THEY RELEASED MY SON TO A MAN--WHERE MY SON HAS BEEN HIDING WHEN HE RUNS AWAY!!!! I AM TRYING TO FILE A COMPLAINT BUT THEY WILL NOT CONNECT ME WITH INTERNAL AFFAIRS--THEY ARE REFUSING TO FILE A COMPLAINT-- Officer Magley told my son in front of me----after giving me a dirty look, "Whatever choices your mom makes..you have to be the strong one and in two years you can split." How dare this officer POISON my child or assume that whatever he is telling them is half the story (or all together bullshit). My son is on a path to destruction and they just co-signbed it. AND RELEASED HIM TO A STRANGER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. HELP PLEASE SOMEBODY. I NEED A LAWYER OR AN AVENUE FOR ASSISTANCE.
