[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 425497, member: 1233"] YIKES! A 6yo who keeps escaping is a sure fire rx for terror in a parent!!! What does he do when he gets out? Any chance of putting a prickly bush right outside his windows? My dad almost did that to my gfgbro in high school when he kept going out his window. If the windows have wooden sills, why not just nail them shut? That worked well for several months to stop my bro. Of course he then would go out the front door and band on MY window to get in. caused no end of problems for ME but he didn't go out his window for a while. Then he worked the nails so they were loose in the holes and he could just pull them out in the evening if he wanted to go out later or if he was out he oculd just pull them and not have to deal with cranky me in the middle of the night. There was always the risk I would tell, after all. I am sorry you have to handle this. I have a cousin who designed a home for his family. His daughter's were on the top floor and while tehre was a porch roof under their windows he made sure the pitch of it was too steep to climb out on. NOT because either of his daughter's would have dreamed of sneaking out that way but because it is what HE would have done as a child! [/QUOTE]
