However - as partially stated above - it could draw the unwanted attention of your family - your friends - your employer - or the authorities. If you are believed to be a danger to yourself or others, you can either voluntarily surrender yourself for mental evaluation - or involuntarily be taken into custody for evaluation at a mental health facility of up to 72 hours. It is NOT considered an arrest in the true legal sense of the word, it is an emergency commitment for mental health evaluation.

First off, threatening to harm anyone, regardless of age or relation, is in fact a crime. Secondly, threatening harm or allowing circumstances that could be harmful to a child is enough for CPS, Child Protective Services, to take a child away from their parent/guardian.
No, I have never been in a situation where a scammer was threatening to kill me.
