Episode 007- "Crisis... Not Crime"

What happens when a kid is in crisis — not committing a crime — but the police are the ones who show up? In this powerful episode of YALLCAST, we sit down with Jake Hobson and Andy Matheney, veteran officers on a Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) from a major metropolitan police department in North Texas. With decades of combined experience, they pull back the curtain on what families never see during mental health emergencies — especially when kids are involved. We talk about: * Youth mental health crises and why they’re rising * Online grooming, cyberbullying, and how kids are being targeted through games and chat apps * How CIT officers focus on help, not handcuffs through jail diversion and mental health partnerships * Warning signs parents and kids should never ignore * What nearly happened — and how early intervention stopped it * The toll this work takes on first responders, and how officers manage trauma and recovery This is an honest, sobering, and deeply human conversation about intervening before tragedy, protecting kids in a digital world, and why mental health emergencies should never be treated as crimes. If you’re a parent, educator, first responder, or someone who cares about the well-being of kids and communities — this episode matters. * Crisis Intervention Teams (CIT) exist in most major cities * You can request a CIT officer when calling 911 for mental health emergencies * Early intervention saves lives — silence makes things worse If this episode helps you understand even one warning sign — share it with someone who needs to hear it.
