[QUOTE="mom_in_training, post: 142415, member: 2727"] Many here have given some good advice. My difficult child used to sneak out as well. Its pretty scarey no matter where you live safe or not, You just never know. I already had an alarm system with every door and window in the house hooked up but had to have some repair on some of the zones so I did just that and started arming the system. Even when unarmed it would alert me to any door or window being opened in the house. That deterred her from sneaking out. Any other time when she chose to not come home after school or just blantenly walk out being defiant I would give her until her curfew time and call the police. They would ask me if I wanted to report her as a runaway and my response was " I'm not sure if she has runaway or not" so they would put her down as a missing. Make sure that you request a report be written by the police dept so you have a papertrail. I quickly learned that they will not do a written report if not requested by the parent (Where I live anyway). As far as being where he should be, With my difficult child I always made it a point to talk to the parent of the kiddos house where she was supposed to be to confirm. Mind you it can be a task to keep up with but definitely worth it. I gave her no wiggle room at all and she knew for the most part that I was on to her. I do agree with the others about the daycare, If he cannot prove to be responsible then how sad for him that he will just have to be treated like a toddler to assure his safety and well being. It would certainly be more relief to you knowing that hes safe. Do you possibly have a police explorer program in your area.
