We need a 4th emergency service for people in crisis to just evac them from bad situations, almost like the witness protection. (lemmy.world)

I don't want to get too political in shower thoughts, but this would solve a lot of the hot button issues if more people just had safer and supportive environments to escape to and volunteers / paid professionals to help them on the other end.

I mean like people stuck in abusive situations, cults, etc.

Most countries have that. It's called the police. Unless you're talking about shelters and the like?

It's called the police.

The police are a form of state-backed organized crime. They're far more likely to kill you than anything else. Bit like asking a rabid dog for protection.

Maybe in the US, but, for example in Germany it's really not like that!
