<human>: I need some advice on how to respond to this situation, it is out of the realm of things I know how to handle.

First the background/setup. My son is a teenager, he went to spend the weekend with his mother on Friday evening. One of his half-brothers is there also. Saturday afternoon my son calls and says he wants to come home because mom went to a party and won't be back for ~8 hours. He says his oldest step-brother (19) will come pick up both boys, and bring my son home. I communicate with everyone to make sure we're all on the same page.

Here's where it goes all pear-shaped. My son and his step-brother are waiting to be picked up when an older kid shows up. He shows them a pistol, asks them for their phones. The boys say they don't have any phones, just clothes and toys, and the older kid leaves. The boys call the cops, who show up and take statements. The cops then leave. Older step-brother arrives shortly and brings my son home.

I just found out about this tonight from my son. Nobody involved (my son, either of his brothers, his mom, or the police) had said anything to me Saturday night. So right now I am pretty emotional. And I haven't calmed down enough yet to talk to his mom about it but she's going to get several earfuls from me.

So -- first, how do I follow up with the police department about this? I want a full report.

Beyond that, I'm sure as I calm down I'll think of some ways to respond to this...but it would be good to have some input from other folks. Suggestions and ideas are welcome.

Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?
