[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 156632, member: 1233"] Call the police. You need to report every time he runs away. While many schools are just threatening, not all are. Report him as a runaway EVERY time he does this. It hurts, it is hard, and it may be the only way to get anything through to him. As for where to tell the police to look, give them the town. You really need the paper trail. Lock the door and go to bed. Even if you just read a book there. His friends know where he is, so he is probably safe. he may even crash on someone's couch to "punish" you. It is not unheard of. I am so very very sorry. This is so very scary. I hope he comes home, but please report his cutting class to the police to CYA AND to hopefully get some help for him (whatever may be available). Here, in our state, pretty much the ONLY way to get help for a teen is to have it court ordered. The resource officer who used to be at the Jr High gave me a list of over 50 places that help teens with these problems. NONE of them were known by our therapist, the 3 other tdocs in her office, or the psychiatrist in her office!!! They are all court ordered. Sending hugs and a few extra zzzz's because I know you will be so tired tomorrow, Susie [/QUOTE]
