What should we do about this prank call?

Asked on Yahoo Answers by an all-new Artemis Jones. This is kind of an experiment to see how quickly they shut down my account. Here goes:

Some friends of mine and I were doing some prank calls the other night. it was really late at night (damned meth!) so what the hell else are we going to do? Anyway, we phoned this elderly lady and pretended to be the police and said we had some bad news about her grandson. She said "Who, Peter?" and we said, "I'm afraid so madam." We told her he'd fallen into an industrial chicken-processing machine (we had a lot of trouble not laughing I can tell you) and had been completely mangled and later died in hospital of his revolting wounds.

She started crying and then kind of yelped (she was on speaker phone) and then there was a kind of dull "thump" and then just silence. My mate Jenny thought she might have died with the shock of it and I've been feeling a little bit guilty ever since. I was wondering what we should do about this, like, are we in the wrong or something? All answers welcome. Thanks guys.

wow I dont know if there is a god or a heaven but one thing I can tell you is that you are going to hell. That is the most fucked up thing I have heard in god knows how long, you wanna know what you should do is call all the local police departement and tell them what you did.

Wow. Well, umm.
The thing I can tell you is..
you shouldn't have done that.
:/

Yes that is wrong, what a horrible thing to do. I agree with the other answer, go to the police. Or try to trace the number and make sure the old lady is ok, that the very least you can do. And learn from your stupid mistakes, next time dont mess around wth peoples lives and feelings.

dude???!!! that was awesome!! don't feel bad about it man,its nothing. she might of fainted or something.. bad that was the ****!! peace man!!

That's not a prank !
That's pathetic and the fact that you have to ask if you did something wrong only proves just how pathetic you are. I hope no one ever does something like that to your grandmother or your mother. If someone did something like that to my gma I'd hunt them down and take the law into my own hands. Your mother must be so proud.

You've been only a little guilty?
You abused her private landline number!
You mimicked and mocked the police!
And You may have killed and old lady!
taking away the supposedly dead grandsons Nan away!
I'd feel sick and ashamed if i were you and hand yourself in stright away!
And in future...stick to we are the chinese takeaway!!

Well, I shouldn't worry too much - I mean if one phone call was enough to finish her off, she must have been about to pop her cloggs anyway. At least she died in the comfort of her own home, rather than spazzing out in the local swimming pool or something.

Or maybe she should feel guilty because she's the sort of evil witch who responds to harmless prank calls by pretending to die and is at this very moment having a good cackle about it down the old folks home with her coven-mates...
