When did a feeling of 'we need to get out of here now' save you?
*BRAINLIEST TO BEST STORY*

“Social worker – I’ve had a few home visits that have gone as far as getting out of the car, and realizing nope, time to GTFO of here.

Went out once to visit a client that was a single mom with 3 little kids, who lived waaay out in the sticks, because she’d stopped answering the phone or responding to other attempts to contact. She has a pretty bad DV history, so I was worried.

Got out there, and had a feeling something was wrong immediately – her van was gone, and I knew it had expired tags (plus, she had a suspension on her DL), one of the upstairs windows was broken, and things were just weird-quiet.

Got out of the car with my neck hair standing up, and had hardly stepped out, when my home visit buddy (we don’t go out solo for safety reasons) said quietly, “Get back in, man, we need to leave.”

Once at the end of the driveway, she told me she’d seen a guy that looked like my client’s ex ducking back into an outbuilding- I couldn’t have seen him from where I was. Had I gone up to the door, he’d have been maybe 10′ from me.”
