The first time, a heavy response makes sense on their part. They’ve been told an extreme situation is going on. After that, it makes sense to be chill about it, but you can’t just ignore the claim. At the very least you have to check things out.
Imagine the backlash if a streamer legitimately did kidnap someone and they got loose and called the cops, but the cops were like “lol another swatting incident let’s ignore it.”
