Tuesday last week our 15 year old son decided to runaway from home, the police finally brought him home on the Friday, the police did not come to our house or ask for a photo of him they did ring but i feel that 3 nights and nearly 3 full days without contact from him and all i got was a phone call to see if he had come home is not quite good enough, i rang the police to complain on this Tuesday and as yet no phone call to explain why they didn't appear,  the police fetched him out of the house and woke the household up, if that was me i would want to say sorry to the parents of the missing child and explain i didn't know but not even a phone call.  

does anybody think I'm over reacting please be gentle but truthful I'm a bit fragile at the moment, it's set my asthma off again!

Hi Debbie as a fellow mum NO I dont think you are over reacting and I would want a little bit more concern from the police if it was my child. I am glad he came back.

My thoughts are with you Helen

No good. when i lived in chester my daughter went missing she had gone for about 4 hours i had serched for her and tryed the freinds she was going to and had not been there. so called the police and two police cars turned up had 4 offocers tow male and two female. it was coming up to a shift change and the police sgt called for the shift to not leave but to start a search the police plain was mobilesd i was driven around i the police car with one of the officers to see if we could spot her. and after about a hour of this as about 100 officers were starting a search of the woods by our house she rode in on  her bike wondering what all the police vans were doing around the est. She had gone to chester zoo with a freind and there family and "forgot" to tell us. And i must say fair do's to the police they were more reviled than us to see her and everything was stood down. Must say the speed in which everything was done took me by surprise. So my syphty goes out to you its not nice to have a family member go missing and see the police doing nothing so to speak

i feel really short changed so to speak, trying to carry on as normal is so hard, it gets to time he should be in and all the neg feelings come flooding in,  i feel the only person to help us was our family doctor on Friday,  one response i got well its a normal thing for a teenage boy to do!!!!!!

Not having a go at any of the police we have on here, they do a brilliant job and don't get paid near enough what they're worth.  However it does show the double standards of the police/society.  When a girl goes missing, everything seems to be mobilised, and the worst assumed.  When it's a teenage boy, they don't want to know.

I was always told by my Mum that as long as she knew where I was going, who with, and what time I would be back, that was OK, as long as I rang her if anything changed.  Girls are by far more sensible than boys, BUT I have to say I caused my Stepdad more sleepless nights than his 2 lads ever did - however he worked this out I don't know, I was never bought home by the Plods, both his sons were on several occaisions.

Hope you get everything sorted out.  You need to sit down and have an adult discussion about why he felt it was necessary to go walkabout - not easy with a teenage boy.  You have my sympathy!
