Resident recounts alleged TikTok-related attack, urges Weatherford to add police officers
Summary
A Weatherford resident described repeated property damage she said occurred during a recent youth 'TikTok' attack, said initial police response was inadequate, and asked the city for more officers; the mayor asked staff to follow up after the meeting.
During citizen comments, Deborah Betancourt (speaker 18) recounted a recent incident she described as a 'TikTok attack' in which youths damaged her garage and doors. Betancourt said she called police and was told initially that no units were available and that officers who later patrolled did not contact her; she said she suffered physical injury and more than $2,000 in property damage and requested the city hire more police.
"I was terrified," Betancourt said, describing calls for help and an initial message that officers could not be sent. The mayor asked staff to meet with her after the meeting and gather additional information so the city can investigate and respond. Council and staff pledged staff-level follow-up; no formal council action was taken during the comment period.
