[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 142334, member: 3647"] He's not where he is supposed to be. That's considered a runaway. Another option is a kid's cell phone that is only programmed to be able to call certain numbers. My friend has one of these for her 11 year old. He can dial 911, her work, the school, his father, and the house. That is it. Make a pact with him that if he wants to be responsible enough to be home for a couple hours be himself, he has to prove that he can be trusted. He needs to call you at such-and-such a time, and let you know where he is. He must provide a phone number and you need to be able to reach him there (no, you calling him on the cell phone if he claims he is at Jimmy's house is not good enough. He needs to give you Jimmy's number). If he cannot follow these rules, then back to daycare he goes, like it or not. This way the ball is in his court. [/QUOTE]
