Ds’s friend stayed for sleepover and no ones come to collect him

Ds’s friend (both 10) stayed for a sleepover last night after they went trick or treating together. They’ve been friends since nursery so we know him very well and know the parents fairly well. We don’t socialise with them but the boys often have sleepovers at each other’s house. Sometimes we will do the school run for each other. We always chat in the playground.

Friends df works night shifts so we agreed to have him stay as his dm is away with work. He said he will be back to pick him up today between 10.30/11 as he needs to drop him off at his grandparents before lunch.

It’s after 1pm now and he’s not here. It’s very unlike him. They’ve never been this late before. If ever they were running late they’d always call and let us know.

I’ve tried the df’s mobile several times and left a message. I’ve also tried the dm but hers is just going to vml. I don’t what else to do, if anything.

Obviously, I’ve given the boys lunch and they’re very happy playing video games. Should I be doing something else?

Can you go to the house? Check if car is still there. If so likely DF has just slept in. If not then a bit more worrying. Would continue trying DM as she would know who to contact. Unless GPs live nearby I'd leave off contacting them as you may worry them about lack of response from their DS.

@manicmij why would she go and check on the car now? Surely that is as pointless as sending your kids to school during half term.

This thread has it all, tension at the start, a resolution, conspiracy theorists, yummy treats and people who haven't RTFT.

Although we only have OPs word for it that it’s resolved. They could be too embarrassed to admit that no one came and they still have the son, never could get hold of any of his family. SS said all the foster families were full so asked if he could stay there. 9 years later they are sending him off to uni with his “brother” after a gap year trip to South America funded by some of his inheritance from their 7 year disappearance declaration. He hoped to track down his parents in Panama but it only led him to an empty canoe.

@MiddleClassProblem unless they were in the stolen Mexican house...

the job he does is seasonal so he’s been doing overtime during the Halloween period

What is he, a pumpkin 🎃?
