Crisis
This sunday night, I was having some problems with my mom so I decided it would be better if I spent some time at my dad's house. I had my mom drop me off two hours early at work. I fell asleep in the break room until it was time for my shift. After sleeping and colorfully decorating several golf balls, I started my shift, finished up, caught a ride home with my dad's girlfriend. She drove me to my dad's house where I would spend the night alone and I could relax and clear my mind. I realized later that I left my schoolbooks at my moms so I ride my bike almost 8 miles to her house, sneak in, stuff as much stuff as I can in a bookbag, and go out to the garage to get my bike. She catches me and won't let me leave. I leave anyways, walking a few miles before I have my stepmom pick me up. I'm cooking myself dinner when my phone rings. It's my mom and we fall into this huge, long conversation and it was not a good one. After she hangs up, I get another call from a number I don't recognize (it's the police). Apparently, my mom reported me as a missing runaway (after I told her I was fine and I was at my dad's with a ride to school the next day). I had to call my dad's girlfriend over to make it look like she was watching me. While I packed for her house, my dad's girlfriend ended up booking the officer's daughters for 3 separate parties at my dad's spa (hahahahaha). I slept at her house, went into school late because she couldn't take me until after her kids. That was my sunday night and monday morning.

Collin, unfortunatly you are the third person I know in the past 2 weeks whose parents have called the cops of them. I think this is a horribly disturbing trend that for the most part only makes the situation worse. Clearly your mom knew where you were yet she still called the cops. Calling the cops should be a last resort after all other measures have been tried. By calling the cops not are parents possibly placing charges on their own kids, but they are creating a huge issue of trust. While it is necessary for parents to call the cops in some instances, it should only been done as a last resort
