To report my son as missing?

[stucky]

Wondering when to start panicking? DS 22, hasn't been home since Friday day time. He usually lets me know what's going on. It's not unusual for him to spend time at a friends for a day or two, however I've messaged his closest friends, no one's seen him since Friday. His phone been dead since Saturday morning. I know he's not a child, but he's my son and I'm concerned about his wellbeing. Should I report him as a missing person? Or am I overreacting? I just don't know what to do.

Please be kind, I am currently feel very fragile.

Have you rang round his friends?

Leave OP alone. Totally unnecessary comment.

Sorry you said this - but what about people he was last out with?

Yes I would report. I don’t think the “Why haven’t you already?” comments are particularly helpful.

Please phone the police, have you got support and comfort there with you?

Do not feel obliged to come back and update here, you do what is best for you.

So he hasn't been home or to work and his phone is off?
Yes, definitely report ASAP. I'd be so worried.
How is your relationship generally?
Does he have any MH issues or any history of taking off without letting you know? Where was he going on Friday?

Yes contact police and hospitals

Yes, report.

Yes - I had to report a friend as missing - it was a long but straightforward process.

i hope you hear from him soon. I have sons of similar ages and would be very worried.

Police. Now. I hope everything is OK.

And yes ring hospitals. I have had to do that for my friend a few times (the missing one). I had to check A&E and the main hospital separately.

Yeah, I’d be freaking out. Better the faster it’s reported

Report him missing now. And phone local hospitals.

So many unnecessary comments 🙄
Hope all is ok OP. Definitely ring around hospitals once you’ve reported.

Hope all is ok.

Absolutely do it now.
If you ring hospitals and give his name they will tell you if he is a patient.

Really hope he is ok 🥰

Hope he turns up safe and well quickly OP, you must be worried, is there someone there with you 💐

I would report too.

Agree with everyone else. Report to police, then start ringing round hospitals.
Hope he’s ok.

Has he done anything like this before?

Sending you a hug and hoping that all is okay ❤️❤️

Definitely report it, assuming you've tried everyone you can. It's very worrying he hadn't been to work.

Oh OP. I'm so sorry to hear. Yes report him. Ignore the rude comments about how you should've done it earlier. Until you are in that situation you don't know how you will react and you also don't want to overreact in case. Sending lots of hugs x

Oh incredible! Not to derail the thread but you’ve invented a Time Machine so the op can go back to when you would’ve reported it? That’s amazing! How did you do it?! You utter spanner.

OP, yes I echo others, you should report it. My DB had a habit of doing this at the same age when he decided he fancied some headspace, a week was the longest time and the police always found him. He’s grown out of it 🙄 but I remember the fear. I hope all is ok x

You must be going out of your mind with worry, yes definitely call them!! Hope he is found safe and well soon!!
