My boyfriend is in Florida and sometimes when he gets really stressed/upset he gets sucidal, him and I were talking and he said something that made me really sad.. he got upset that he made me so sad and while we were talking, he started to talk funny... I thought that he was taking something or something bad had happend, he hung up and I waited for about 2 hours or so because I was trying to get a hold of him but his phone was turned off, I talked to his sister and then I called the police because she quit answering me and it had already been 2 hours. I wanted to make sure he was ok, my boyfriends brother deals "stuff" I would rather not say what but you know what I mean, so she got mad at me and I think it was because he does that... Well I thought he was taking something but little did I know he fell asleep with me on the phone... here is the conversations me and his sister had, Was I wrong? I know the conversations are long but here is the link, please read what you can

If your boyfriend acts suicidal, anytime, yes, police intervention is required. Do it cause you care for him. Contact his family and request he be admitted to a psychiatric hospital. I say this from experience. I was suicidal. My family admited me. I'm good now. I'm a better person, wealthy, and live every day to the fullest. It may be a ton of problems, it may be something as small as depression. Still, check it out!

You were doing OK in my opinion, until you started in with the "You don't know Scotty like I do", and "Well at least I cared" part. Are you assuming that they don"t care?
They are his family, and I am betting, you don't know him like THEY do. He lives in a house with his mother, and there is only so much interference that you can do.
I think calling the police was a little out of line, just because his sister didn't drop everything to run over there and find out why he didn't ansswer the phone, doesn't mean you have to call the cops. Will you call them everytime he doesn't answer you for two hours?
Dispatchers for Police Fire and EMS will often 'Flag" an address for various reasons. What happens nopw if his address is flagged as housing a suicidal person?
This sounds to me, like he was tired, maybe taljked funny, and then didn't answer your calls. Nothing more nothing less.
Glad you fixed things with the sister, you owe her an apology for a few of the comments that were made.
Good luck

I won't listen or read the conversation but here is a good rule to live by. If you are in honest fear for someones life or well being then call the authorities. Better you call and it is nothing than not call and it be something.

You gotta find a better way to pick boyfriends. What - you think you can "rescue" him with your love?
Puleeeease!
But anytime you are in doubt about someone and they are talking suicidal - yes - you have a moral responsibility to call the authorities and report the behavior or ask them to check on him.
