A Bleeding Young Woman Ended Up On His Doorstep At 3 In The Morning And He’s Asking The Internet If It Was Wrong Of Him To Not Let Her Inside
A man lives in Salt Lake City with his wife, and they have a bulldog who always can tell when there’s noise or something to be worried about.
“I live downtown Salt Lake City,” he said. “I wouldn’t call it a bad neighborhood compared to some large cities I’ve lived in, but there is more crime than any other part of Salt Lake.”
He and his wife went to bed recently at around 11 in the evening, and he woke up at 3 a.m. to his bulldog barking like crazy.
So, he got out of bed, picked up his flashlight, and went to the front door, where his dog was. He could hear someone outside of his front door pounding on it nonstop.
Thank goodness he had a peephole to peek through, and when he looked into it, he could clearly see a young woman outside on his front porch.
He was hesitant to just open the door up to her, because he stopped to consider the fact that someone could be hiding just out of sight, and that person could rush him after opening the door.
He asked the young woman outside what was going on, and she didn’t say anything else to him except to open up the door.
This made him really uneasy, for good reason, and when he failed to open the door, the woman asked him to shut off the light he had on over the porch.
This did nothing to make him feel better about opening the door, and so he explained to her that he was calling the cops.

She continued to ask about him opening the front door, while she kept starting out to the entryway to his yard.
She did look scared, but she said nothing else to him. She just demanded over and over and over again that he open up.
“The police show up and very nicely not aggressive in any way take her with them,” he continued.
“When I open the door there is blood all over my porch. And while the police are walking her across the gravel parking lot I notice she’s not wearing shoes and overhear she is 16 years old.”
After all this went down, he did feel terrible for not opening his front door so she could come into his house.
Here’s what the internet had to say.
“She didn’t tell you who she was, what happened to her, or why she wanted you to let her in. It’s totally reasonable that you feared for your own wellbeing.”
“Criminals have no problem using young kids to get you to give money or open a door. I could see a knife in your chest and I still won’t open my door.”
“I’ll call an ambulance and won’t leave but I’m not opening the door.”
“…You wouldn’t have known if it was a cover and she was trying to commit a crime or something similar. It’s your house, and I think calling the police was the best course of action.”
“Given that you didn’t know the situation she was in, I think it’s reasonable to not let a screaming person into your home who keeps demanding you open the door.”
“She wanted you to turn OFF the porch light? Yeah, that’s not how you make someone want to open a door between you and them.”
“You could have called the cops faster, sure, but it’s the middle of the night, you were just woken up, you weren’t thinking all that straight.”
“You sat there until the cops came and watched to see if anything else happened, even if you didn’t let her in.”
“The reason she asked you to turn off the light, is probably to hide from someone chasing her (because you didn’t let her in for safety which is ok).”
“I am glad you called the police anyway because what is worst than disappearing is disappearing without a trace.”
“Girls get kidnapped off the streets every day and without a trace which is scary to think about. That no one knows what happened to them.”
