[QUOTE="WSM, post: 254034, member: 5169"] I don't want to call the police. I have a security clearance and have to report any police contact. And next Wednesday I'm up for a promotion and a career board. I've had to report police contact with him twice in the last year and don't want to again. Also this is a safe place, he's probably gone to the park to hide in the crawling tubes. He's probably fine. But what if he's lost it and needs to be picked up and hospitalized? (he's never been hospitalized before, and altho he's had a couple incidents of head banging and once pulling hair out of his arm--he's always been lucid). He's run away before, but always snuck out in the middle of the night or after school back when he was alone. He'd go to the park and just sit and wait for someone to find him. He wasn't really running away, just being a drama queen. Do I just let it be, figure he'll come back when he comes back? Do I wait for my husband to get out of his meeting? Do I call the police? Another problem is difficult child LOVES to claim abuse. He's likely to excuse his running off on being abused. It's sort of worked in the past, not really, but gets everyone stirred up for a while. He once persuaded a neighbor a couple streets over and they kept him and refused to let him come home even after talking to us, even after we recommended they take him to the police station. We had to be the ones to call the police to extricate him from their car. I just don't know what to do. :whiteflag: [/QUOTE]
