I think the police are right and I think most parents feel the same. I have yet to have a child threaten to or run away. Well unless you want to count my son who at 4 said he was leaving, walked out the door and up to the end of my court where he stopped at the stop signs with arms folded looking back at me with a pout.

If my kids were to be home at a certain time and they missed that then my first thought is they r breaking the rules and either accidentally or intentionally missed curfew. Call to police wouldn’t come till much later and after every attempt to locate them. Of course i’d Also know exactly where they are and who they are with at 11. Moo
