DS15 not come home and it's 3.17am

Not sure why I'm posting here just need some positive hope and words.

DS15 went out with mates at 5pm told me he'd be back at 10pm.
I texted him at 9.40 asking him not to be late as I was going to bed with DD8mnths. He replied I'll be 40 mins my phone battery is on 2%.
That's the last I've heard from him!!

I'm been trying his phone and it's obviously off now, I e ring the police and reported him missing now I'm just sat here shaking, worried thinking the worst. What more can I do, I feel hopeless! Can't go driving looking around for him, the baby's in bed asleep.

He's not the best behaved teenager, admitted he goes to party with his mates, they sometimes have a few drinks just the usual "teenage" stuff.
Now I'm worried he's got drunk passed out somewhere or been in a fight and in a bad way somewhere. Why would he say he'd be 40 mins. The latest he's ever been is maybe 11-11.30

Sending every possible good wishes. Most likely explanation is he fell asleep drunk on a sofa and will waken groggy and bricking it by 11am, but that is of no comfort when you just don’t know. My 17 year old was only mildly late once and I was going absolutely spare with worry. Xxxxx

Thinking of you OP. Hope you are sleeping while your sister cares for the baby. Hopefully he’ll be home with his tail between his legs before you wake.

BlessedBeTheFruitCake · 23/11/2019 08:27

What a worry, hope you hear from him soon.

GiveMeAllTheGin8 · 23/11/2019 08:28

How worrying for you. I hope your sister can mind the baby for a few hours when he gets home so you can grab a few hours sleep Flowers

NCTDN · 23/11/2019 08:28

Another one hoping he's back soon Thanks

ClinkyMonkey · 23/11/2019 08:29

I am fully expecting, and dreading, this when my two are teenagers. I remember my parents meeting me at the top of the stairs and having a go at me (deservedly) when I landed in at all hours with no explanation. As a selfish teenager, I never fully appreciated how hard it must have been for them.

I hope your DS is home soon OP.

DannyWallace · 23/11/2019 08:30

Oh OP you poor thing. I hope he’s back soon

MrsElijahMikaelson1 · 23/11/2019 08:31

Fingers crossed 🤞

coldfeetallthetime · 23/11/2019 08:31

Any news?

Firefly111 · 23/11/2019 08:34

Hope he’s home soon OP

bananajelly · 23/11/2019 08:34

Big hugs OP, they certainly know how to keep us on our toes. You've done everything you can, all you can do now is wait Thanks

Kahlua4me · 23/11/2019 08:36

Glad to hear that your sister is with you, her support will help.

ChazsBrilliantAttitude · 23/11/2019 08:37

Offering another hand to hold whilst you wait.

oohnicevase · 23/11/2019 08:37

Blimey... is this normal for him? My dd never goes out at night so it would be for her .. either way I hope he is home soon .

bottlenose301 · 23/11/2019 08:38

Hopefully he's passed out at the party and it's just a waiting game for when he wakes.
That's the most logical explanation so try not to worry!

worriedmum80 · 23/11/2019 08:42

Thanks again for your kind words.
Still no news. I've managed to find one of his friends mums on Facebook so messaged her just waiting for a reply. He doesn't have Facebook himself so can't use that to track any friends. I've managed to find one on Instagram also messaged him waiting for a reply.

Just spoke to the police again, gave names of the friends I know they are going to try track their address and go to their homes. They are also going to drive to the place he was last and look/ask around.

I've just spoke to his dad and as per hardly any interest from him, he's not heard or spoke to him

Hoping he’s home soon. As someone else said, the most logical explanation is he’s fallen asleep maybe drunk at the party.

CaptainCaveMum · 23/11/2019 08:44

Oh you poor thing. Another hand to hold. Really hope he’s home very soon.

isitpossibleto · 23/11/2019 08:46

Offering a hand hold. I hope this is resolved very quickly for you, OP. I dread my daughter getting to this age.

Travellinglass · 23/11/2019 08:47

I hope he’s home soon. You’ve done the right thing contacting the police and trying to find friends/friends parents etc.

memaymamo · 23/11/2019 08:48

How stressful for you!! Fingers crossed he's fallen asleep at a mate's. You've done all the right things.

LuluBellaBlue · 23/11/2019 08:48

I’m thinking of you and hope you hear something soon. I have a 16 yr old boy and can’t imagine the worry you’re going through. Flowers xx

2littleChicks · 23/11/2019 08:48

No words of advice just a hand hold. My DDs are still so small I dread the teenage years. Thinking of you OP. Xx

Ellapaella · 23/11/2019 08:49

This must be so tough, hope he's home safely soon op Thanks

Waxonwaxoff0 · 23/11/2019 08:50

I hope all is OK.

I bet he's just had a few drinks and crashed out at one of his mate's houses, probably still asleep.

Hopefully he'll have a hangover and have to suffer with that all day as punishment! Wink
