As I said on another thread here, this would account for the statement, "They took our cell phones so we couldn't call 911".
BBM and shortened for space
This statement has been nagging at me since the first time I heard that it was said. Hopefully someone here can put it into context for me. Did they mean:
A) "They took our cell phones so we (weren't able) to call 911" - which implies they have knowledge of WHY the perp took the phones. It also implies that they didn't have a landline and the perp possibly knew that.
B) "They took our cell phones so we couldn't call 911 (right away)" - which explains why it took them a "few seconds" to remember that Dad had his work phone in his pocket (or wherever he had it on his person) and would account for any lag in time between Dad's arrival home and the actual 911 call.
My initial reaction was option A. But, after seeing it again so many times, I realized that it could be taken another way.
Perhaps this needs to be on the cell phone thread instead of here...
