How many times has the discussion of the police being called come up? Clearly not as often as names are called, or illegal drug use is discussed.

If he thinks you are truly at risk of hurting yourself or others, or if there is minor at risk or perhaps himself at risk, then of course he would call cops.**if Bob doing this as a psychiatrist or owner of the website? that's what i want to know.
