My friend(18) was just hanging at my house this morning I(17) decided to walk down to the store(10 minute walk) when I was walking back she(my friend) called me and said some guy pulled up, call the police. So I did. 5 minutes later she called me back(as I was walking home) and said "now he is in the bush in your yard" I told the police(called back again), my friend lives in my neighborhood but I wasn't thinking and told them that my friend was someone else I knew and gave them her number(wrong number, not the friends that was over) for all I know this guy was not even really there or he may have been. It is just my friend has skitzophrenia(spelling?) and I don't know if what she saw and told me was even real or not. the cops did come out, i'm freaked out because 1- I gave the wrong friends number and 2- will they tell your parents even if you are 17 or 18 and don't own the house? I don't want them to know and I have
not seen this friend for a while, I just invited her over because she wanted to see this pet we are fostering and I had no idea she would pull something like this even though I told her I'd be back in 25 minutes or so.

Can't you just contact the police again and tell them the right number? Also, you can try to explain them that your friend has a mental illness.. maybe they'll understand.

I could, but I don't think it would be a good idea. I'm afraid I'll get in trouble since I already told them that other number was my friends. I did try explaining to them in person about her mental illness when they came out

Sounds like the situation is over, hopefully

I wouldn't stress.

We're human.

And cops are too.

The way you've described it makes perfect sense; it was merely a simple error and not something that would get you into further trouble with the cops.

I wouldn't suggest contacting them. There's simply no need to.

I doubt anything will come of it, and if it does just say it was a genuine mistake. That you mixed the numbers up. I am hopeless with phone numbers.
You haven't done anything wrong so try not to stress.
All the best.
