Received the worst call from DS's High School

Asking me if DS was at home sick. No he left for school at 8.30 and we only live 5min from school. He has never wagged or been in trouble at school so I thought the worst. She said she would go and check his class and call me back. Well 5min felt like 5hrs, I was literally shaking and felt so sick. She calls back and tells me DS is not at school, well my voice starts breaking up knew something wasn't right. DH walks to the school the way DS goes and I ring the police, I didn't know what to do. They take some details and tell me they will send a van around. I then ring our local hospital, he's not there thank goodness. I ring a few parents I know, they knew nothing. DH isn't back yet, police havn't arrived and I'm pacing the kitchen floor. Half an hour later DH comes back, DS is at school, what relief. Apparently his friend he met on the way to school was sick so he walked him home and then turned up at school. I wish he wouldn't scare me like this. Just so grateful he was found, it is such an awful terrible feeling to think something has happened to your child.

Glad to hear he's safe :hug: And what a sweetie, walking his friend home!

:hug: that would be such a horrible feeling!
I'm glad he turned up safe and sound. Maybe a gentle reminder to him not to scare you liket that again.

Glad to hear he is safe - living through that must have been hard - it was scary enough just reading it.

Your son is a wonderful friend

Hugs hun glad he is safe.

You really are having a rough trott!! enough heart attacks for you!!!!!!!

xoxoxo

Glad to hear he is safe, when i read the title i thought one of your practical jokes must have gone wrong! LOL

Oh what a scare for you,particularly with all thats gone on of late. Im so glad he was just helping his mate and turned up at school safely.

:hug: how terrifying!
Glad he is safe now though, and good on the school for recognising he was absent so soon and contacting you!

Oh wow, that must have been terrifying :( Very glad your DS turned up safe*

Ammaki lol he wouldn't want to pull a practical joke like that on me.

Regards,
Dianne

what a beautiful child!

I am glad he's fine though DIanne. Very impressed with the school too.

After the week you have had Im glad he is safe and sound.

Thank goodness he is ok! My heart was sinking!
What a kind biy to walk his mate home.. and well done to the school for contacting you!

I'm sure that would have given you the fright of your life! oh my goodness, I would be a mess if that happened.

Glad to see he's ok and was helping out a friend, what a wonderful young man :)

Also :clap: for the school for ringing to check! Would be nothing worse than it coming to the end of the day and finding out your child hasn't been seen since 8.30 am :o

:hug:

Oh Dianne. I'd be shiatting my pants if that ever happened to me. I;m glad he is okay and there is a valid explanation as to why he is wasn't at school, but still very,very naughty of him.

The school was very good in notifying you though. Not many schools care!
