What do you do when you don't know what is happening to your child. I am a total wreck. I don;t know what to do. I spoke with her for less than a minute on Sunday when I call just to check on her. She answer her and said she was ok and she will call me back in 10 minutes. I have not heard from her since. I tried today but it went straight to her voice mail. I use a different phone later same thing. I am very worried now. I don;t know If I should call the police later when I go home.

thank you for allowing me to share.

when my son was on our family plan on the phone, I could log on and see his usage...I could tell he was alive and well that way.

if she doesn't want to talk to you, can you send her a text and say...."just let me know you are alive and ok" and see if that works?

I am sorry, I don't know how old she is...if it is over 18, I don't think the police can help you....they have no reason.

Has she done this before? I used to be up and night worrying about my son and he was passed out somewhere without a care...or at least, without a care about us!

My mom always says that "bad news travels fast"...so if you assume that, then she is ok. (and it turned out that it was true for us...any arrests...we got a call.)
