But on a serious note, all any admin of this site could do is use a person's IP address to find a user's general geographic location, however, even that method only gives an approximate location (usually a 50 mile radius) of that person. Unless you go through somebody's ISP (internet service provider), or do some black hat hacking, you're not going to get an exact physical address of anybody on this site. If a user uses a VPN or SOCKS5 proxy service, it becomes even more difficult to track somebody because they can use these services to appear to be anywhere in the world and nobody could prove otherwise without hacking into the SOCKS5 or VPN services (if they even keep logs that is).

So yeah, direct the person in a crisis to a hot line or call the police if you think they're in immediate danger.
