[QUOTE="ThreeShadows, post: 396270, member: 6370"] You know our story. I'm not surprised this has happened, I'm just sorry it has! We consulted a lawyer who advised us that we would be responsible for any damages incurred by our son, even though the police were powerless to bring him back. We had to lock the steering wheels of our vehicles to avoid any accidents. Do report him as a runaway in order to start a paper trail. I managed to get mine on the national Missing Persons list. A police officer came by, wanting to know if we had any x-rays. I realized she meant that she needed them in the event of finding a corpse. That was awful! Please be aware that the military recruiters might move in on him. This happened in our case. They feel that a troubled kid can be turned around by boot camp and service, and the runaway will take orders from a stranger rather than the parents who love him. Go figure! If you want my phone number, pm me. I've been there. They won't admit him to a psychiatric ward unless he is a danger to himself or others. Mine got admitted to St. Mary's due to some superficial cutting of his wrist. The place was useless and lied on the paperwork. I told difficult child 1 about your situation and he offered to slap him around for you. He was terribly hurt by his twin's running and difficult child 2 is still suffering the effects of his bad decisions. This will really shake up your easy child. Tonight, for the umpteeth time, difficult child 1 told me that he felt I had abandoned him while I was obsessing over his twin. I thought I was doing the right thing, showing him and easy child that a parent won't give up on a troubled child. Apparently I was wrong. I'm so sorry this is happening to your family, especially at Christmas! [/QUOTE]
