[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 653067, member: 15801"] I know you are worried sick and you will be until you know where he is....but my hope is that this ends up being a wake up call for him! It is no fun running away and being on your own when you are 16. One of the worst times in my life was when we were on our way taking my son from a wilderness program to an therapeutic boarding school. We woke up in the morning out of state miles away from home and my son was gone, he had left us a beautiful note that basically said he couldn't do it and he would be in touch when he was 18 . He was 15 at the time I was a basket case and called the police from the hotel.....a while later he called us. He had walked all night and came to the conclusion he was better off going to the school. Since then we have had many more things happen, including him spending time on the streets...but when things get really bad like that he always finds a way to survive and then realizes he needs to take the help we are offering. So what I am hoping for is this experience of running away makes your son realize that in fact he is not prepared to do what he wants and make it on his own, [/QUOTE]
