Addiction Feedback: No matter how old you are, they can’t at all. you can sue them if they do. they can only encourage you to come out with your addiction, which is probably the better thing to do anyway. Unless you say you want to blow up some building then they can tell someone. something that endagers someone else’s life, i think then they can tell someone else about it.
Addiction Feedback: No, they cannot report that to the police. However, they can report you to the police if they find out you’re exhibiting protential physical danger to yourself and others. You know what the police will then do to you.
