How long before I'm allowed to worry??

[butterflyroses]

Ds 15 went out to meet some friends at 2pm (I KNOW!)

He's not back and his phones dead. He's not usually out this long. He's not sleeping at the moment and he has no money on him to get food/drink.

How long can I leave it before I really worry??

Yes I know he shouldn't be out, I've had that argument plenty of times with him.

Is there anything you can find out via social media?

I wouldn't wait until 9pm to ring the police> I hope you get good news

Ach, just call the police now. Hope he turns up with no drama. And soon.

has he got facebook or instagram?
find my phone app?
send messages to his friends on social media if you can.
hope he is back soon, safe and sound x

I'm sure he'll be home before dark, if not I would call the police.

Yes. I'd be phoning the police.

Hope he turns up soon op x

Hope hes ok

Op I hope he's back soon. I used to do stuff like this as a teen, lose track of time, not understand the fuss - now I realise how worried my parents must have been.

What a worry

You could call the police non emergency line to ask advice?

Definitely call the non-emergency number now because it means that police out and about in your local area will be able to look out for someone matching his description and I think that him knowing you were worried enough to call the police might just have him keeping in touch next time.

Hope all is ok.

Hope hes back soon

I'd call the police too, as police said they will then have someone on the lookout for him.
Hope he comes home soon.

Previous poster not police 🤦🏽‍♀️

My money is on with a girl, lost track of time

for you OP, I’m dreading these days xx

Does he have an iphone? So you could do the 'find my' thing?

I think I’d take the pandemic and phone situation out of the equation and ask yourself if you’d still be worried.
It’s not that long really for a teenager who is catching up with his mates/a girl.

It is such a worry, I hope he strolls in very soon oblivious to all the worry he caused.

Oh gosh I’m dreading my kids getting old enough to do the same. Everything crossed he’ll be back any minute xx

Oh OP it's such a worry isn't it? I'm sure he's fallen asleep somewhere especially if he hasn't had much today.

Be sure when he gets home to let him know how worried you've been, I do feel for you but I am sure he is fine.

Really hope he's ok

Hope he turns up soon, hopefully he’s just lost track of time whilst having a good time.

Can phone companies track where last signal was? Hopefully he's home before ten

He's home

Apparently he told me 9 at latest.

We'll be having a nice long chat tonight.

Thanks everyone

Hope he turns up soon.
