If I miss it... please, take note for me. I do need to eat tonight.
You just described me as a mom of my 13 year old son!
Mom leaves cell at home for family to use while she's at work. She calls from work to son at home who has her cell to say to text haileys friend to get hailey home.
I think ....
You're eating Missed it, darn it!
Ok - so Mom went to work in the morning of the 28th? And then called home to have son call the sleepover friend to tell Hailey to come home??
...(snipped)...
The key to me is if she really told BF she was spending the night with her friend; if she did, I think she had some sort of plans that afternoon and wasn't sure how late she would be getting back, so she wanted to be covered at home. I did this (stupidly and lucky for me, here I still am) at about the same age. I would tell my mom I was staying at my best friends's house, knowing she would not call there unless there was an emergency, as we did it all the time. (And knowing I could get into their house late at night thru the downstairs.)
This is making me want to go outside and beat my trashcan with a baseball bat out of frustration.
I am finally understanding what people like us who know what's really happening out there have to do. Parents are not paying attention to these cases we read about. This is a 13 year old, a baby. Parents need to be gathered in the schools auditoriums and shown the horrifying photos we see of dead children, told the stories of the horrors. Parents have to be shocked into reality or kids are just going to keep losing their lives to predators.
This is so frustrating.
The only reason I could see for this is that the Mother doesn't have the friends phone number, it is programmed into her cell phone, so she just has her son text the friend.
I don't have numbers memorized anymore either, they are all on my phone and I just hit the button. Just an opinion, I could be wrong.
