PPD Officers responded to local group homes after multiple reports of children in crisis.
Officers were called to the first facility just before 5 pm for a report of people arguing. An underage resident told the adults in charge they were considering suicide. Officers contacted CPS and an ambulance transported the child to an area hospital.
At 6:42 pm, a child contacted officers to report plans to run away from another group home but said she would wait for an officer.
Police detained a child after a fight in the group home’s van. Officers took the child to the station to take a report and then returned the child to the group home.
Police also responded to a Charles Street home for a report of a 15-year-old who planned to run away. Officers caught up with the teen near the riverfront and took the child home.
