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.

Yes definitely report, fingers crossed for you OP that he’s safe and well x

Really hoping he's ok. You must be so frightened, I hope you have some support around you.

Definitely report and now, hopefully all good but definitely safe than sorry. Keep us updated op ❤️

Nothing useful to add but I hope you hear something tonight.

What a worry, yes definitely report tonight.

Hope he turns up quickly OP! So worrying for you :(

Has he contacted work?

I would be reporting my 25 year old if I hadn’t heard from him for that long. Hope you hear something soon.

They will tell you if someone is in hospital but not give details .

Oh my, you must be so worried, and it's so hard to know when to take action at that age, as you don't want to annoy them by being over protective either. I hope you've spoken to the police now and have lots of support.

Ignore the people that didn't post helpful comments.

I'm not trying to "solve the case". OP asked us whether she's reasonable to report, and the answer to that question is potentially different if there's a specific backstory that is giving her reason to think reporting isn't the obvious thing to do here. "Why have you chosen not to report so far?" is a perfectly relevant question when evaluating whether OP would be more reasonable to maintain that approach or change course.

Really hope you find him and he’s safe

I'd report it. Hopefully it is all nothing. I'd also be calling his friends

We'll have to agree to disagree on this one.

I can't think of a backstory that would prompt me to say no, don't bother.

I'm sorry, OP. I hope everything's ok.

Call the police. The weekend is over. He isn't back. He hasn't been to work. Please call.

Definitely. I would be frantic. Hope he turns up soon just worse for wear having had a really good weekend!

Fingers crossed for you OP. Am sure everything is fine!

I wouldn't have called the police over the weekend either but now he's missed work, it's time. Hopefully he turns up soon and you get to yell at him and then hug him. Or the other way around. x

I’d be frantic. Hope he turns up very soon!

Oh lovely, I would absolutely phone now too, you’re doing the right thing.

Call them now. God I'd be so worried.

Definitely call the police if you haven't already.

I would definitely report now, I hope you hear something very soon

Definitely report.
