But, she also noted to authorities that her daughter was “not a danger to herself” and not a danger to her.
When she gets upset, then she thinks everybody’s after her – like paranoid schizophrenic,” Donna described in audio reportedly reviewed by the outlet. “[Do not send] any combative policemen who are prejudiced, please. I’m scared of the police.”
The media reports that Donna also told authorities: “I don’t want you guys to hurt her. Please.”
As per the media, around 10 a.m. that same morning, Sonya also spoke with police. She reportedly explained that she didn’t want medical attention. But, around 1 p.m. that day, 911 dispatchers received another call from Sonya’s address. This time, the caller, who dispatchers later noted as Massey, alleged someone had broken her window.
CNN marked that in a “call back,” Sonya also told authorities “her neighbor hit her with a brick.” After a later visit to St. John’s hospital, Sonya reportedly said to breaking her window herself.
