DS just ran away from home He and dd had been arguing all afternoon and I had sent him to his room for yet another timeout. He told me he was going to see his daddy and I sent him back to his room. 2 mins leter I went into the hall the the front door was ajar. I checked outside and dd checked inside and then we realised he had snuck out So i rang dh as he had the car and then dd and i went out to look for him on foot.
He got about 1/2 a mile in those 2 mins - i can't believe he ran so fast. He also crossed a busy road Thankfullyhe was fine and dh found him and bought him home. Thats when I realised that all he was wearing was a pair of shorts and his socks!
No-one stopped to see if he was ok. The road is really busy at that time of day plus there are lots of pedestrians and yet none of them checked to see if the little boy wearing next to nothing and running as fast as he could while bawling his head off, was ok
God i am shaking He's never done this before but from now on I will be double locking the door and keeping the key in my pocket!
