A full 7 days after my son went missing from a treatment facility in a large city, he convinced a stranger to let him use their phone and he called me for help this morning. I drove an hour to find him. I also told his PO that I had made contact. I found him, fed him, and drove him home. His PO knew the plan, and that I felt unsafe calling the police myself, so he called. The police arrived at my home, my son saw them, and ran out the back door, jumping fences to get away. Not long after his PO informed me he was found. He is now safe and in custody. We may have court tomorrow, but I fear with his running a second time he will likely stay in detention, which breaks my heart. This mama is really hurting, any support is welcome. 😞

He has been missing for almost 48 hours from a court-ordered (through probation) treatment facility in a nearby large city. He called me and told me he was going to run, and I thought I had talked him off the ledge so to speak and to stick it out. The facility is not a locked facility. He just walked out with another teen boy and disappeared. The police have been notified but NO ONE has spoken to me, other than telling me I need to come pick up his things. I don’t think the police are doing anything and I’m falling apart. I’ve missed two days of work and sleep all day. I’m not doing well and I’m so worried. He left with nothing but the clothes on his back, needs his medication, and talks often about suicide by cop.
