What is a police officers procedure when informing a child that their parent died in a car accident?
I am asking this for my story.
I want to know if the officer stays with the child until a relative comes.
Would he ask the child if he had a relative nearby that he could contact?
Does the officer contact the relative?
Thanks
It's not up to the police officer. A young child would be turned over to a social service agency, unless another parent or close relative arrived on the scene immediately. The social worker would then do whatever was necessary to contact the child's family, and might leave it to the relative to tell the child what happened.
Police Officers-The Ultimate Star In Any Kid's Eye
Knowingly or unknowingly, you would have given your child a bias about the women and men who serve as police officers in your town. Just look back and knock at your conscience and ask yourself if you have done the best to teach your kid respect and the appreciation that the police officers deserve in this society? Or, have you created an impression that the police officials are annoying people who expect you to be scared of them? Most of us have actually not learnt how to behave or respect a police officer; this is a big mistake, not done just by us, but by the whole society in not seeing the police officer as one amongst us.
We begin to train our kids early in life by doing simple things like pointing out at the police cars and say, "look there, that's a cop, stay still, or he will put us in the jail". This is when your kid starts associating hatred and fear with police, this is the basic level, but if he constantly keeps hearing things like this, he will obviously think bad about the whole department. The kid must respect the police, not be afraid of them. Many towns let the police interact with the people on a daily basis, like visiting schools to educate children, especially about stranger safety and car safety and a lot more. This time spent with them will let the children think and they will naturally develop some sort of a respect towards the police people who really care. The kids need to develop a positive attitude towards them, and they must approach the policemen in case they have some sort of a problem. One must never let the negative influence dominate the kid, especially when it is related to the people who try to help us. This helps the kids grow up as sensible citizens, and not teaching them the right thing only curbs their future.
It is a parent's responsibility to educate the kid about the duties of a police officer and also tell him how responsible the police people are. They must be taught what to expect from them and what not to. Off late, we are forced to build the negative qualities in the kids by telling them the wrong things about the policemen because we generalize a lot and see all police men as rogues. There are a lot of good officers in the department and they are also seen as bad people because of the activities carried out by several other police people. It is our duty to teach the kids to differentiate between the good ones and the bad ones. By doing this, we are only building the rapport between the public and the police officers, which will help them serve better.
Refer to the nearest police station and talk to them about educating kids that police are good community helpers and not the foes of public. This can be done by arranging a tour in the police department. This is only to educate them, and not to terrify them. The police departments in many towns are really interested in doing such things to build the rapport between them and the public. By doing such things, the public will be able to understand the ideals of the police department.
