My Call to West Milford Police About My Sisters’ Welfare Check

The report and the call at about 10 p.m.

My understanding is that the anonymous contributor whose story appears on this website filed a police report against my father, Luis Felippe Mora, in New Jersey. I identify the department involved as Cliffside Park. This is my account of the report having been made, not a statement about an investigative finding or the outcome of that report.

I remember Cliffside Park police calling me at about 10 p.m. They told me that, after receiving the report, they had someone carry out a welfare check on my two younger sisters. They directed me to call the West Milford Police Department for an update. That earlier conversation is not included in the transcript below. The time is approximate, and I have not specified the calendar date of the calls here.

Calling West Milford and waiting for an answer

When I called West Milford, I explained that I was asking about both of my sisters. I gave the address, which is removed from this public transcript to protect their privacy. I said Cliffside Park had told me a welfare check was supposed to happen that day and had directed me to ask for an update.

I remember being put on hold several times. The supplied transcription includes the department participant asking about the address and the welfare check, saying they had not been there that day, and asking for my name. It includes requests to hold, but it does not measure how long I waited or document every hold separately.

I remember being refused an answer

My recollection is that, after checking with a sergeant, the person told me they were not giving me an answer and then hung up. I want to distinguish that recollection from the transcription: the sentence immediately before my response is garbled, so I cannot present a cleaned-up version as an exact quotation.

The supplied text records me asking, “You're not giving me an answer? Why,” followed by the department participant saying, “Have a good night.” I then asked, “why are you not giving me an answer?” The participant's next recorded words are “Yes, sir.” and my final recorded word is “Hello?” That is where the supplied excerpt ends.

I was left without the update I had called for. The transcription does not establish the reason for that response, whether the welfare check had been completed, what anyone observed, or how my sisters were doing. I do not want an unanswered question to be mistaken for an answer about their safety.

Why I am adding this follow-up

This conversation follows the earlier police-call update in which I described feeling harassed, intimidated, and pressured to stop sharing my story. This time, I was seeking information about my sisters. Not receiving it added to my feeling that my concerns were not being heard. That describes my experience, not a finding that this call itself establishes harassment or a shared intention to silence me.

The anonymous contributor's account remains the main featured story. This follow-up documents my own attempt to obtain information from police. It does not speak for my sisters, disclose where they live, or supply an outcome for the contributor's report. If I receive further information that clarifies this exchange or the welfare check, I can update this page while identifying the source of that information.
