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

Fingers crossed he's hiding at a mates too scared to come home as you knows how much trouble he's in. That's what I'd have been doing.

LetMeLayAmongTheStars · 23/11/2019 08:51

Would maybe say to the mates in messages that he’s not in trouble you just want to know he’s safe, they might be worried about getting him in trouble.
Hope you hear something soon Op Flowers

64sNewName · 23/11/2019 08:51

You must be feeling absolutely wretched, OP. Feel for you Brew.

EleanorReally · 23/11/2019 08:51

my now 25 year old ds gave me some worrying times at aged 15.
no news is good news op.

HumousWhereTheHeartIs · 23/11/2019 08:52

Thinking of you OP. Teenage boys - even lovely ones - can be thoughtless sometimes.

Alrighteo · 23/11/2019 08:53

Hopefully he's just drunk and still asleep on some mate's couch/floor/bath lol.

I'm sorry you're going through this. I'm very impressed with the police response. I'd have thought they'd be 'Meh'. Are you in London or a city? I don't think you'd get similar here.

Thisnamechanger · 23/11/2019 08:54

Poor thing OP xx

Poppyfields21 · 23/11/2019 08:54

Chances are he’s been a typical selfish teenager and is fast asleep on someone’s sofa having been at the party all night. Once he is home and sees how much he has worried and upset you it’ll hopefully shock him into sorting his behaviour out.

MarshaBradyo · 23/11/2019 08:55

Op how worrying hope all is ok

RememberMeDanny · 23/11/2019 08:56

I know it’s easy for us to say but the most likely explanation is that he’s gone to the party, had way too much to drink and passed out somewhere. I know i did that many times when I was a teen and I can only imagine how worried my parents must have been.

Hand hold from me and hoping he wakes up and comes home ASAP.

NoNameNoGame · 23/11/2019 08:57

Prayers to you. Hope he comes home OP.

TheCatInAHat · 23/11/2019 08:58

Flowers hope he’s home soon.

Futureplanning · 23/11/2019 08:59

Hoping he returns home to you soon with his tail between his legs.

Wheredidigowrongggggg · 23/11/2019 08:59

This is awful op, I hope he comes home safe. You have clearly lost control of him and probably need some professional help wrestling it back. If police are involved then SS will be called in too, so do welcome their help rather than resent their involvement. A 15 year old is at huge risk out all night and that needs to be sorted ASAP. Hope today goes ok, be kind to yourself, you will be really tired so maybe delay an analysis with son until tomorrow.

Fingers crossed he’s safe and sound.

QueenOfOversharing · 23/11/2019 08:59

Sending love to you - I hope he's home safe, very soon! I know I'd be beside myself in your position.

Handhold from me. X

Apolloanddaphne · 23/11/2019 09:00

How worrying. I hope the police find him soon.

Yestermost · 23/11/2019 09:00

Hope all ok. SS wouldn't get involved around here as threshold is huge.

Seahorseshoe · 23/11/2019 09:01

Have you put a status up on your own Facebook? Sorry if someone has already asked you this, I did read through and didn't spot it? Facebook seems to get things moving via "word of mouth".

I'm sure he'll be fine and be oblivious to the extent of the anguish he's caused.

Lovemusic33 · 23/11/2019 09:02

Hope all is ok, I remember what I was like at that age but I was more sneaky and will tell my mum I was staying at a mates house when in fact I was at a party or drunk. Luckily my 15 year old isn’t like this 🤣

Hopefully he’s just passed out somewhere after the party and he will soon show his face nursing a hang over and wondering what all the fuss is about. 15 year olds just don’t think do they?

Wilmalovescake · 23/11/2019 09:02

Ridiculous post up there, ignore the bit about SS.

Hope he’s home soon OP.

Waxonwaxoff0 · 23/11/2019 09:04

@Wheredidigowrongggggg that's a bit dramatic. A lot of teenagers do this kind of thing at that age.

IVEgotthetinselBITCHES · 23/11/2019 09:05

Hope he returns soon op. I was like this as a teenager too. Sometimes i would go for days Blush

TokyoSushi · 23/11/2019 09:06

Oh OP, how stressful, hope he's home really soon.

Otherwisebaldandunconvincing · 23/11/2019 09:07

SS would be involved here if a child had been out all night and had been drinking.
It would be quite low level but they would be called by the police and there would be an assessment for anyone under 16. We do have a lot of gang issues though so maybe that's why.

WinterRose92 · 23/11/2019 09:07

Hope he comes back soon, another handhold here xx
