From the other thread, for those who asked about what my 13yo thinks about Dylan not texting after 8pm:
She said it depends on what the last text said. If he was in the middle of a conversation or waiting for a reply, then yes, it would be weird. If it was more like, " c ya or ttyl," then not so much. She said that just because he texts a lot, doesn't mean he texts with a lot of different people.
She also said that since he didn't have a smartphone, his iPod (if it's an iPod touch) would probably be just as important as his phone to him.
On a side note-she didn't know about the hitchhiking possibility until last night. She said his friends must be really, really worried about him for them to rat him out like that.

IMO Dylan"s friends may very well be the ones to look a little harder at..Dylan was unhappy about going to Dad"s, was that just because of Dad or did something happen between him and one of his friends? maybe just someone there that he felt uncomfortable around..The older brother made a statement that Dylan knew if he had a problem while he was at Dad"s all he had to do was call, and just like before, he, his mom or step-dad would come.this statement in itself leads me to think there was some sort of problem before, wish I knew who with, as it might answer alot of questions..
