    I like the point about the gangs and criminals respecting children. Like, if you go to jail- and your story is assaulting/r@ping a child, people will treat you so much poorly as they would if you, say- stole a car.

    Yeah no, on occasion No one is allowed to harm children under any circumstance in prison- People who have harmed, or abused children in whatever way often get dealt with much more violently than any other. This could also apply for women, but mainly kids

    I’ve spent so many hours just trying to forget this, but I guess I can talk about it just now. Last winter I went on a 2 night school trip to this camp. On the first day, our activity group leader let us all go use the bathroom. I go in there, come out, they’re all gone. Of course, they didn’t tell us where we were going. So I start panicking. I go back into the bathroom to make sure they’re all not still in there, nothing. I saw another group there and I went to ask if they know, but of course *that one teacher* was there and yelled at me for “trying to change groups”. I looked down the hill and nobody from my group was there. I turn around to go check the bathroom one last time, nothing. I go back towards the hill and everyone starts calling out to me. Apparently our group leader just assumed everyone was there without actually checking and she took everyone and left. When they found me, they were seconds away from sounding the alarms because I was missing and *that one teacher* didn’t care.

    My story: I was at Disney Land in CA and I thought my family was gonna go on this one ride where some small planes go up and down. They weren’t. I was VERY young at the time, 5 I’m pretty sure, and my whole family thought I was in a stroller. They then proceeded to go to Pirates of the Caribbean without me, and it takes me like 4 minutes to notice. Like the idiot I was, I hid. My parents came back that way and didn’t see me and started to panic. After about 10 minutes of hiding, I walked around until I found an employee who I called a “badger” cause they had a badge on. She asks me if I’m lost, and I say yes, and she takes me to this office and I tell her my Landline Phone Number because I didn’t know my parents cell phone number. It took like 30 more minutes, but my panic-stricken parents found me in that little office and told me I did a good job finding an employee etc. but I learned my lesson! Or did I? Fast forward 6 years, I’m in Disney again but this time I got lost looking in the Toy Story store and fortunately I knew my parents were going to Star Tours. I found them pretty quick that time. The reason I went missing the second time is because my family split into two groups: one Star Tours and the other some other ride I don’t remember. They both thought I was with the other, lol. Moral of the story: Disneyland and me do not mix!

    You're not alone. I got lost at Disney World FL when I was 6-7 years old, I was in grade 1. My whole family (6 including me), and my grandparents, all went to Disney World for 4 days. I believe it may have been the first day, but I can't remember. On this fateful day, I was in the front leading. I had no idea where we were going, so I was just walking ahead. Of course, when I turned around, I saw no one. I don't really remember what I even did as this was 8 years ago, but I believe I just walked in circles looking for anyone I recognized. I was, and still am, a very shy person, so asking for help was something I was very hesitant to do. Luckily, I saw my parents not so far away and I immediately ran to them. I don't think they were all that worried and were just glad I found my way to them as we continued to wherever we were going. Although, after that for the rest of the day, I remember being terrified and not wanting to be in the front anymore. Great way to start the trip. Extra story: This was the last day at Disney World and it was closing time or close to. We all went to go and visit Goofy, Mickey Mouse, and Minnie Mouse, as our final activity. We went over to the area they were all sitting in, (sorry if I'm explaining this badly). My older brother liked Goofy, My twin brother like Mickey Mouse (more Pluto), and I liked Minnie Mouse. So we all went our separate ways and interacted with each character. I had, and still, have a little Minnie Mouse doll as I was obsessed with Minnie and still kinda am. I showed Minnie my doll and she took it and hugged it and admired it, it was adorable and cute, and she also gave me a hug. Same thing happened with my twin brother with Mickey, he had a Pluto doll and Pluto hat. When he showed Mickey the doll he looking surprised and hugged it. My older brother had a Goofy hat and gloves, this resulting in them playing with their ears. My mom got many pictures of everything, which is in our Disney World picture books. Good times.

    Mom’s cousin went missing after rough break-up in early 70s, no word, no letters, no nothing. His mom was inconsolable. After 2 years, his mom got a call from a stranger, saying the dude is alive and will come home at some point, but he isnt going to or cant say where he is. Soon even some family members had questions, was the call real, cruel hoax or was it desperate mother’s wishful thinking.. 5 years after the call, our doorbell rings and it’s this lost cousin! I was a newborn and mom says she nearly dropped me. After 7 years, he was presumed dead, but here he was, very tanned and thin, missing a front tooth and fluent in French. Turns out, he ran away and joined the French foreign legion.. the guy who had called his mom, was his former work colleague, who he joined the league with, but who managed to run away from there too. Mom’s cousin wasnt as lucky, he got extra 2 years to serve for the escape attempt. I love my crazy (Finnish) family :) Edit: typo

    My story: I have seizures, not just the ones people usually think of. During an. Orientation and mobility lesson , train a blind or low vision person to get around independently, I was doing an independent walk where I caught a bus , went to a store and came back. During the ride, I had a seizure that wouldn’t be noticeable if you didn’t know what it was. I got off the bus at where I thought I should being that I had no idea I’d had the seizure, and ended up in a very shady part of town. Some guys were chilling at the intersection a block away and came to ask where I was going and I told them. Realizing I was in the wrong place, they took me back to the bus stop and waited with me until the next one came. I realized what had happened by then and the instructor did also since I was supposed to meet him at the store. So thank yall for keeping me safe and helping me get to my destination. This was about 15 years ago.

I decided to go back home and it was a mad house as soon as I got close to my neighborhood. There were close to 200 ppl looking for me or my body in the woods. I was so embarrassed, I didn’t leave my house for a month.

    My sister once went missing. Its pretty funny tbh, in elementary school we would go to the YMCA to learn to swim. My sister got permission to join me on the trip and after some lessons we got to play in the pools. After a while the adults told us to get ready to leave. I remember looking around when i got to the bus and realizing my sister wasn't anywhere to be found. So i gathered my courage, because i was like 10, and told my teacher that my older sister was missing. They looked for her, couldnt find her, so they told me to go home and they would continue to look for her. I get home and my mom is there in the living room worried. She asked me what happend but i didnt know anything besides that my sister was missing. Later they found her in the lazy river and she was brought home safely. That's when we found out that she had a bit of a hearing problem, since she didnt hear anyone call out for her, and my parents took her to the doctor to make sure everything was fine. We never went to the YMCA again after that.

    My mom moved with us kids to a new neighborhood just before 1st grade started for me. I was 5 and this was during the '80's. I made a new friend in my class who also rode the same bus home. The first day of school, she invited me to come play in her house. I followed up her around the unfamiliar streets there. She tells me to wait outside while she goes inside to ask if she can play. I wait for her to come out just to be told to wait longer for her to do chores or something and I can't come in yet. So I stupidity, trustingly waited. She never came out again and I think I'm forgotten, so I start walking the way I hoped brought me home. I wandered around for forever crying and scared when a police car pulled up next to me and drove me home. I felt so embarrassed and my mom was crying. Man, I was a dumb kid.

    This is about my parents cat that got lost but it ends funny. It happened before I was born. A bunch of my mom’s family was over at her house for a family gathering and during it my mom noticed she hadn’t seen her cat Gracie in a while. She looked around the house and came to the conclusion she got out when her aunt stepped out to smoke. All of them ended up searching the neighborhood, going in neighbor’s yards, peering down storm drains, and nothing for hours. Where was the cat after all this? Curled up on a soft blanket in the floor of the blanket closet.

    I actually have two very quick and simple stories about going missing, the first happened when I was around 5-6 years old. It was, in the toy aisle, classic. Thing is, I'm autistic and at the time I was seriously undiagnosed, and so despite eventually realizing in my 6 year old mind that I had been left by myself while I was distracted I didn't really, do anything? It was weird, I was panicked and thought my family had left without me but all I could really do was sit in that aisle and cry. What's worse? I don't remember who found me, I was 6, it was either an employee, another customer, or a security guard but I remember he asked me where my parents were. And remembering that I was told not to go with strangers (even nice ones because I had been caught having long conversations with strange men on playgrounds near my school while trying to talk to their kids before) I panicked and didn't talk to him and refused to go with him. My mom eventually came back and thanked the stranger for watching me and took me home. The second story was right before the pandemic, I was in 9th grade and had joined a specialized program that year that would last the rest of my high school career, my class had been supposedly doing "the best out of all of the other classes of this cohort" (which honestly I think was just propaganda to groom new tech field workers through their teenaged years so now I'm bad at socializing and unqualified for anything non tech related), we were going to join in on a sort of meeting with our towns council? I think it was something meant to pitch ideas on how to make the town better. Well my class had came up with a project plan, put together a slideshow, picked two people to present it and we went about our day. Problem? This was a Wednesday. My mother was aware of what was going on, she was informed. However she happened to forget and came to pick me up from school, when I wasn't out by the time the busses drove off she got worried, I wasn't answering my phone obviously because we were told to keep them off. She panicked and called her mother, my grandmother is known for being dramatic, blowing things out of proportion, and calling the cops over little things because she doesn't like someone. And I just so happened to be her favorite grandchild at the time. So she calls the cops, an amber alert is sent out for me and my dad gets it while he's at work, meanwhile there's a search for me all over town I imagine. Eventually one of my classmates parents who worked with my dad at the time told him about the meeting (my mother had not done so before), he told my mom who informed the cops who had to make sure I was actually there. In an attempt to avoid embarrassing me my mother told the cops to stand outside and wait for her to get there to check herself. She poked her head in the room, told them I was there and went home to pick me up later instead. I did not see her when she did this. I get informed about this as she picks me up for real this time, and for unrelated reasons a few years later we stopped talking to that grandma. To this day I still don't know why my mom thought it was a good idea to call her before calling my dad.

    My story (For context, my parents are divorced, had me at 18, and divorced when I was 3.) When I was in kindergarten, my dad started dating a girl named Willow. I don't care that I said her name, she was terrible to me and my father. Anyway, my dad had moved to a friend's house, since he was still living with his mother before that, and Willow was homeless before dating my dad. She just wanted a house, she didn't want anything to do with me. Anyway, different home meant a different bus.... Apparently, nobody had told my old bus driver I was moving buses. When I passed my old bus, the bus driver snatched me into the bus, reminding me my bus was this one. It was the normal bus driver, and the normal bus, btw. I told her that I had moved buses. She disagreed, saying she hadn't heard anything about that. I had been holding back tears. I got into the back of the bus, which was usually full. It had 3 other kids, all were above my grade. Only 1 or 2 came in after me. I was crying. I remember that the most. When we stopped at my usual stop, I got off. My grandmother wasn't there. I tried walking on my own. My mind was racing. What if I got kidnapped? What if they aren't home? I ran back to the bus. I don't remember what the bus driver said to me. I remember all the other kids being dropped off, though. And I remember crying. I don't recall anything after that.

    I take walks all the time and one time I walked a lil far, then realized I had no idea where I was going. Walked through the woods and ended up having to climb a wall to get into some private neighborhood I never went to. It was Sunday afternoon and I lived in the deep south, so everyone was probably at church. I walked for like an hour and didn't see a single person other than a guy unloading black bags that I didn't feel like questioning. I saw a dog and it walked with me for a couole minutes before leaving. Then I yelled at a goat for a few minutes, and started seeing more and more familiar landmarks as I walked. I was by a railroad crossing near a gas station that I walk to from my house every other day when my mom called me and asked - get this - if I came back inside. I explained to her that I was at the gas station and that I took a longer route, which was technically true, and that I was tired so she should take her car down to the gas station and pick me up. I went in, bought a lime soda, and chilled outside waiting for her. When I got home my siblings were pissed off that they had been looking for me for about half an hour before anyone thought to call me.

    (tw: panic attacks and unintentional self-harm) That last story has me WHEEZING-- a very similar but opposite thing happened to me, but on my second day of first grade. Obligatory "this happened before cell phones became widely-used" On Day 1 of first grade, I found out my sister was gonna be leading the drama/improv club at my school (I'm still not entirely sure why _she_ didn't tell me, but I've always assumed it's bc she didn't want to be seen with her younger sibling in public lol). I went home, asked dad if I could join the club (bc I wanted to hang out with my sister), and he said sure. So, Day 2, I go to the after school club, but my sister immediately shoos me out because I hadn't completed an application or something (I don't remember what, exactly, but it turned out that she _was_ right) and tells me to go home. Well...by the time I get to the busses, they've already...left...And UNLIKE all the other OPs who got stranded at school, _I_ was mentally stunted and the school was too far away from home to just _walk home;_ I panicked and ran to the nearest bathroom -- I wasn't supposed to be _here,_ but I _couldn't_ get _home,_ and so I had (what would later be diagnosed as) a panic attack. Welllll...my _sister_ came home, and my dad was immediately concerned that I wasn't with her; she was confused and annoyed, because she _told_ me to go home, so I was _supposed_ to be _home._ Cue him calling the school, who didn't even bother searching for me before calling the cops. Cue the cops and their massive search parties scouring the nearby woods. By sheer dumb luck, one of the officers found out somehow that the school staff hadn't even checked the school grounds for me, and yelled at the staff until they started checking classrooms and the bathrooms -- where they eventually found me passed out, bruises forming on my face and bleeding scratch marks all over my neck. To this day, I don't remember hitting myself (though it _was_ something I used to do as a kid when I was overwhelmed), but I _do_ remember clawing at my neck because I couldn't breathe because, well, _panic attack._ Every single officer that had been called to search for me ended up screaming at the principal for a long while, because I could have been found much sooner and their time wouldn't have been wasted if the school actually did their due diligence. Needless to say, my sister got screamed at a _lot_ (which I still feel bad about bc it really wasn't her fault), my parents got me a cell phone the moment they could (so I could call them instead of letting things get so far out of hand again), and every single faculty member openly _despised_ me for all 5 years I spent there before moving onto middle school (which _shouldn't_ have been a problem I had to deal with, but it was easier for them to inflict their hate on a literal child than to deal with the situation like the well-adjusted adults they pretended to be).

    My very first day of kindergarten was the worst. I was the last stop on the bus route, on a small one way street that runs parallel to the main road. The school bus was driving on the opposite side of the main road from the entrance to my street, and forgot to stop. I guess the driver couldn’t see me, and just continued to her next route. I watched my bus stop go by, and I assumed the driver was going to actually going to enter the street further up the road, but she didn’t. She pulls up outside of middle school, and one of the older kids from my neighborhood is shocked to see a crying 5yo still on the bus. I was escorted to the office, so my first day of kindergarten was also my first day in the middle school. They called my house, but since my parents were outside waiting for my arrival, they didn’t pick up. I was put back on the bus, and my neighbor was trying to be funny to cheer me up, but I was so embarrassed that I hadn’t yelled for the driver to stop. I arrived home nearly an hour late, but Pa was still waiting dutifully with his camera, and captured the worst moment of my life so far on film. I love that photo.

    In the 90's, my classmates and I were missing for a few hours during a school hiking trip to Chamonix, France. We went up Aguille du Midi mountain with a cable cart, enjoyed the view and hiked down the mountain. Super cool to hike down a glacier and all that. The hike went as planned, but when we were allmost at the foot of the mountain, we ran into a search and rescue team going up the mountain. We walked right passed them but then they stopped us. Turns out our buss driver called search and rescue because we were hours late. I still to this day don't know how we were hours late when the hike went without a hitch, but it was so weird to find out we had been missing for hours without knowing lolol

I got some nachos and cheese and a really nice tub of raspberry ice cream. Any way, we start to go home (we were on bikes) it started to get dark so I couldn’t see vary well. Of course if you ride a bike going fast in the dark while trying to hold a tub of ice cream and nachos, your going to crash. Yeah I crashed in to a fence. They didn’t even know that I wasn’t there until they got home. I was a bit woozy, but still okay, I didn’t really know what to do so I thought “hey I could try to back track” I got lost. But I was lucky, and was found by my sister. Thank you Amy

    18:31 So I work in an after school service. OP’s after school service is 100% in the wrong. We never pick up a kid who’s not on our list. If we aren’t sure we ring the parent or take the child to the office. We never remove a child from a property without knowing 100% that the child is meant to be with us.

    OKAYYY, not me, but my brother. We went to a botanical garden with some friends a few years ago. 2 other families with 1-2 kids each. We went to the Koi fish pond, and my brother was VERY interested. We named the fish and everything. We moved on to the cypress roots and didn’t realize he was gone until we were like a quarter of a mile down to the next area. The moment we realized, I dashed back to the Koi pond and retrieved my brother. I wasn’t really afraid, because i knew where he’d be. Though I’ve never trusted my brother with anyone or any large places again.

    I once got lost in the woods for about an hour or 2 in Scouts. Me and some of the other scouts in my troop were going into the woods to get sticks for a fire. We got complacent, and barely told anyone else exactly which direction we were going, and didn't bring our whistles in case we got lost. Well, after a few minutes of going deeper and deeper into the woods, we couldn't find the way back anymore. We decided to stick as a group and pick one direction we thought was the correct way and started walking. Eventually we ended up finding a trail next to a road, problem was our campsite was nowhere near this road. So we picked a direction on the path and started walking again. Occasionally we would yell out for our Troop during this walk to no response. After about 30 mins or so, we figured that this direction was not the right way and turned around. I personally was a mess, worried I'd be lost all night, the others id assume were worried too, but they kept their composure. After a long time, we end up at the end of this trail, along a smaller road that was part of the campsite. We went left down it, and not too long later, one of the scoutmasters came driving by and picked us up and brought us back to camp. We got a bit of a lecture about safety and then continued our Camp

    I didn’t actually go missing but like, just yesterday I left work early and texted two of my best friends about it, said I wanted to Uber to the mall and I didn’t have a key into my house, couldn’t get picked up cuz parents and siblings were busy. Ended up my dad was able to get me after awhile and brought me to the mall, and the last thing they heard from me was that I bought some books there (but I didn’t tell them that my dad got me because…I dunno I forgot?). When I got home I was exhausted and immediately crashed on the couch to sleep. Woke up hours later because my best friend called my mom, worried, because last they heard I (who am small and, in their words, “easy to scoop up and steal”) was at the mall presumably alone. Both friends were spamming me but my phone was on do not disturb and…Yaknow, I was asleep. So. They thought I got kidnapped or something…woops. Glad that I have people looking out for me tho?

    I went "missing" twice. I say it with quotes because nobody had officially reported me missing. Both times each lasted only a few hours so there ended up not being a need for that anyway. The first time, I think I was about 8 or 10. It was summer. We were visiting a friend of my dad's and his family. A neighboring street to where they lived had, for lack of a more understandable term I wouldn't have to explain, a block party with nothing more expensive there than food and all of the food was free. The grownups were doing their thing and all us kids were playing. I had found a group of kids to play with, and we didn't have any phones or pagers or anything to tell the time with. Our game lasted so long and wandered far enough that I had no clue when my parents and my dad's friend were headed back to their house. When they realized I was missing, they got into their vehicles while someone stayed with my siblings and my dad's friend's kid and step kids, and drove around the neighborhood looking for me. My dad's friend eventually found me and explained the situation. I said bye to the kids I was playing with and went with him, then went home with my family. The second time I went missing, my parents decided to take me and my siblings out on a day trip to Montréal, Canada. We had stopped to get some lunch at a restaurant, and I had finished my food first. My parents gave me permission to go by myself to a souvenir store a few blocks away. After I was done shopping there, I went back outside only to realize I had forgotten the way back and I didn't know what restaurant we were in. I began walking around a several block area trying to find them. Then I decided to get help. Luckily for me, there's a Subway location a block away from the historical building we were there to see, and their landline phone was not corded. The employees let me use their phone, so I called my sister, who got a data plan phone before me (I still don't have one). She never picked up. Then I called my mom. She picked up. after the first failed attempt. I told them what happened and where I was. My family started wandering roughly the same area I did until I saw them out the window. I returned the phone, and ran outside. They said they thought I meant a metro station and were surprised when I came out of the Subway restaurant. We haven't been back to Canada since, mainly because we don't go back East every year and this happened back in 2018.

    when i was in elementary school, about 6-7 years old, I remember the fitness teachers would make us jog in a line behind them around the streets around the school. I'll give some context and say I was diagnosed as gluten intolerant and lactose intolerant at 4 years old. My mom had fed me both not realising the impacts. I was unmalnourished for the first four years and it caused a two year delay in my growth. So essentially at 6, I had the body of a four year old. I was much shorter than the other kids, and I also had less energy. So on this day, I fell behind. Really behind. to the point where I was all alone after everyone jogged ahead of me. I just walked along the road back to the school and watched some of the birds on the telephone wires. Eventually the fitness teacher drove down the road in their car and picked me up to bring me back to the school. I honestly don't know how long it was between when i fell behind and when they picked me up. I doubt it was longer than a few minutes, it was a short road. but the teachers and my mom were so horrified when this happened, that it caused my main teacher to try an experiment. We had a large, green carpet that he had all of the first graders take steps on. (i was in the first grade, there was only 6 of us). All of them took about 8-10 steps to get across it. I took 20. I was so tired because I was taking twice as many steps as everyone else. I think I remember everyone went slower after that.

    I'm not the one who went missing, but I'm the reason why a report was sent out. I don't remember the incident at all (I was 3 years old or something) so I'll just tell you what I've been told by my parents. So my friend (let's call him J) and I were playing together outside. Then at some point for one reason or another I run up to my mom crying my eyes out. I had told her I couldn't find J. Now, we lived at a military base, so because of my panic and because no one else seemed to be able to find him, the ENTIRE BASE goes on lockdown. The kicker? J just went to the bathroom, forgot we had been playing, and just never left his apartment. And either he never told me, or he did and my memory just didn't register it. Either is plausible tbh.

    if you decide to leave home for a couple of days or whatever and have someone who expects you to return soon or didn't expect you to leave, please leave and then send a message a few hours after just saying you wanted some time alone and tell them not to chase you, you are allright and will update once each 2 days but will have your phone turned off so you wont pick up (if you have almost no battery and nowhere to charge also say so, just so they know you might miss on updates). This will bring some peace of mind to whoever is waiting for you, even if they never can quite be calm, it will be the best way to make sure you reset, rest and they don't alert unnecesary autorities

I didnt move from the spot, didnt move away from them. I stayed wherevi was mext to them only to see that they forgot me. I i remenber casually looking around and following wherever i wasbwould lead to, when i found my aunt. My mom said that i ran away when i know for sure that ain't true. They tend to do that alot.

    Ooo I have one for this. When I was in kindergarten we had half day school. I was in the morning group and the bus driver would take all the morning kids home then go pick up the afternoon group to take to the school. After school I was supposed to go to a friend's house to play. I was under the impression that I was to get off the bus at the friend's house and my mom would come pick me up in a few hours. That friend's stop was before mine. Normally the bus driver wasn't supposed to let any kids get off at a different stop without a note from their parent. But my friend and I were able to convince the driver to let me. When I got there the friend's mom was very confused. She tried to call my mom but since she was waiting for me at my stop she wasn't home to answer the phone. When I didn't get off at my stop she immediately raced to the school to find out where I was. But they didn't know so she had to wait for the driver to finish the rest of the dropoff and then the pickup routes to ask him. This meant an hour of her waiting at the school terrified. Once the driver got there and she found out what happened she immediately went to my friend's house. I got a stern talking to but since I was only 5 it's pretty understandable how I got confused so I didn't get in trouble. But it did mean a permanent change that no kindergarteners were allowed to get off anywhere but their own stop no matter what, even with a note from their parent. My mom was already pretty used to me going missing since I had a tendency to race off in public spaces but this was an instance where it shouldn't have been possible. I have no clue how many near heart attacks I gave her as a child.

    This made me remember I went kind off missing, I was at tennis camp for the summer and we were playing hide and seek, if you got hit with water you needed to help the seekers, well my sister and I hid in the corner of the terrain, right next to the fence, with one other kid. After searching for a while and not getting found, (we also saw one of the leaders outside the fence, apparently looking for us but we didn't know that at that time) I go out of the bushes and more into the open and I just see them all sitting in a line, all the other kids some of the camp leaders are yelling our names (we thought it was a trick to find us lol) Well eventually I went out and they saw me and asked where the others were, let's say we didn't get splashed with water that time :D

    I have a story similar to story 2 here. When I was 11 and still in my first year of high school (UK here), I got the school bus to a friend's house after school most nights because my mum had a long commute and never got home til around 7pm. This friend didn't go to my school, so I didn't have any friends around me on the bus. For months, I'd been enduring horrible treatment by two bullies. Some of that abuse included borderline sexual stuff, literally in front of all the other kids on the bus while they laughed. I often complained to the bus driver, but he didn't give a shit and never did anything. One time, the guys were making me so terrified that I bailed out of the bus way too early and was nowhere near my stop. This was 2001, and I didn't have a phone yet, so I couldn't tell anyone where I was. It was a 45 min walk from where I was to my friend's house, but I knew the way, so I just started walking as I couldn't really do anything else. When I finally arrived at their house, her parents practically screamed at me. Apparently despite being only about 30 mins later than usual, they'd freaked out thinking I'd been abducted and had called my mum, who was still at work, and were about to call the police and report me missing. Things calmed down eventually once they realised I'd only done what I did out of fear, but they were all actually mad at me for a while for getting off the bus early and making everyone panic.

I was there looking at the rainbow for about 10 minutes, but when I went back to go get picked up, the headteacher came over and talked to me, and told my mother that he'd found me. See, I didn't TELL anyone that I was going to look at the rainbow, so my mother thought I was missing. Can't really blame myself much, though, not much there in the noggin

    This happened in a very short time interval but I was the finder of a lost child. Helping out at a friend's booth at medieval faire by interacting with the crowds to draw their attention to the shop. On a very busy day, a little girl, maybe 5 or 6, walked by and seemed to be following a couple that I assumed was her parents. Nope. After following them for about 20 feet, she stops, looks around, and just starts BAWLING. I run up to her and ask what's wrong, she says she can't find Mommy. Instant panic mode. "Alright lets find your Mommy. Is it okay if I pick you up?" She agrees and carry her back to the booth and explain to my friend. Friend sits the girl in a chair outside the booth. She pulls a walkie talkie out of I-don't-know-where in her costume and calls for security. While we wait for them, we start asking what Mom's name is, what she looks like, etc... Girl is looking very dehydrated (hot summer day) so we get her water and some snacks. Security shows up and starts their procedure. Little girl is finally calming down a bit. During their questioning, Mom just happens to walk by and notice her missing child. There are six other girls with her, varying ages. The Mom starts screaming at the girl that was missing, saying she should know better than to separate from her sisters. Girl starts crying again. Some of the older girls start scolding her too. Security talk to the Mom a bit before the whole group leaves. To this day I still feel sad for that girl. I feel like her initial reaction to being lost was more to do with being afraid of getting in trouble than it was with actually being lost.

    Never went missing, but I have a story in a somewhat similar vein. My twin was texting me saying she was gonna walk up to the grocery store and then call me back afterwards. She was walking during the evening to pick up something before dinner. She never calls me back and her phone goes to voicemail when I try her. No worries at that point, she's done this before. That is, until, I try her again the next day and still get her voicemail. And a few hours after that and her phone is going straight to voicemail now. And the next morning. Now I'm a bit worried. I try her bf and it goes straight to voicemail too. And neither of them are answering texts. I put it out to the family and nobody has heard from my twin in 2 days. Since she said she was walking up to the grocery store. Now, I'm starting to panic. My older sister and I are somewhat frantically discussing going to her apartment. I'm debating leaving early from work. If this is the worst case scenario, I don't want to wait any longer. It's already been 2 days. While we start debating if we should put in a wellness check, this dumbass _finally_ answers our text messages in the group chat asking why we're blowing up her phone. Turns out, she was just terrible at getting back to people as always and put her phone on Do Not Disturb for work. Something she apparently just started doing. I told her to answer the phone when I call so I could hear her voice and ensure she was alright. She didn't get why it was a big deal. Not the first time she's done this, but it is the most recent. I always ask her would she rather I don't worry when she doesn't respond to any one in a few days. 😭

I apparently woke up and sneaked my self over my grandfather. Then my grandfather woke up with no one beside him, he checked outside the bedroom no one and saw the door open, checked outside in the front of the house and saw the gate open. Now my poor grandfather is terrified trying to find me and had the whole entire neighborhood with him trying to find me outside the house. Tired and terrified on what he was gonna say to my parents, he went on our backyard where he saw me playing with the Lil chicks and getting in a wrestle fight with the hen.

    Age 14, had a man break in my house with a knife threaten my mom and little brother who were sleeping close while my tweaking dad was out on a golf cart at 3am, (this was so traumatic, that I'm not even sure I was raped, I was 14 and already pregnant..so i was confused as hell and thought, im so lose, im not even sure if he raped me....i had only had one partner...was definitely not an a whore, just traumatized ) anyway, I convinced the guy to go to the front door by the time that my dad got back to the apartment, my dad yelled and said why are you here speaking to my daughter at 3:00 a.m. and I (knowing he had a knife to my throats moments ago, said that the guy was just there for a cigarette, my dad gave him a cigarette and he went on his way... Then at 17 I was pretty brutally raped by a schizophrenic guy in our neighborhood, took awhile for me to tell my parents but he was banging on my window at night and I already had a son who was sleeping in that house, this freaked me out enough to the point that I ran away at age 17 and I was also a drug addict so that didn't help... I came back at age 24... But the cops would never allow my mom to put a missing persons report because by the time she wanted to do that I had already turned 18. I was kind of child who wouldn't even stay the night somewhere up until the age of 14 I realized that even at home I wasn't safe. So running away really wasn't a problem at that point.

    My story is a lot like story 4. So basically in like 7th or 8th grade I did track & my team had practice one day after school. Mind you my phone was constantly taken by my Dad because I was kind of a trouble maker in middle school. So after practice I go to the front of the school & wait for my ride, whether it's my Dad, stepmom or any family member I know. After a while it was just me & a few other kids. So me not having a phone at the time I ask my friend to borrow her phone. I call my Dad & stepmom 3 times each by memory & no answer... So I'm thinking I can walk to my sister's Dad's house which is like at least a 5min walk from the school. I knew I would be safe there because he partially raised me as well. Mind you I was living in St. Augustine Florida at the time, during track season... it was pretty hot outside. But anyways, as I get to my sister's Dad's house, I knock a few times & no one answers. So I walk to my Aunt's house which is like a 10min walk in the opposite direction.. As I get to her house, I knock a few times & guess what?!?! No one's there... So I start heading to my Stepauntie's house which HAS to be like a 30min walk MINIMUM!! So as I'm walking down a long road an officer pulls over, stops me & asks "Are you *insert name*??" & I confirm. So he asks me to get in the car & 13-14 year old me thinks I'm getting arrested or something so I lowkey start to panic. But then he pulls up to the school & I see a few cars. Out comes my Stepmom, aunties galore & the officer who dropped me off. As I get out I get SEVERAL voices yelling at me like it was MY fault. Then they continue to accuse me of sneaking off to be "fast" & have intercourse with someone else. One of my aunties claimed that she was apparently "right on my trail" cause she claims I was at someone else's house. No. I saw a student that went to my school taking the trash out at his house... I simply said "hello" & went on my way. Next day I guess kids at my school got word of what happened. Whether from my Stepmom running her big mouth or my little sister who did the same thing. But anyways, kids started calling me "runaway" & picking at me, when I never ran away. I was simply looking for somewhere to stay.

    I started being a wanderer as soon as i could walk, my mother had my sister less than a year after me and the term "irish twins" is appropriate as my parents had a lot to cope with, it was the late sixties and we lived in a small scottish town and she dressed my sister and i in matching clothes (mum was a fantastically talented dressmaker) So when i was two i could walk and i used that new skill as much as possible, on this occasion mum was losing her mind, all the neighbours were looking for me again (it wasn't my first time missing 😂 and it was a small town where people knew each other) . The Police officer drove up with me in the car and before he would reunite us, he made my mother promise not to kill me. 😅 I'd wandered quite a distance across a busy road to the main shopping street and the local officer had been despatched to pick me up and knew who i was and where to return me. 😊 Another reason my mother dressed my sister and i in matching handmade dresses is so she didnt have to describe me, she could just point to my sister and say the missing child looks like this. 😂 I grew older but still oblivious to the chaos and trauma i caused my parents because id often hide away and get engrossed in books or daydreams and wouldn't respond to anyone shouting my name as i had frequent ear infections. So yes i went "missing" a lot. Its not done on purpose as i hate the reputation. As an adult i get teased by family for it and i find it embarrassing.

    When I was 6 my mom and dad were gonna run a marathon. I had a brother so they told him to look after me. I woke up in the morning and I couldn't find my brother anywhere I was crying throughout the morning, and since I thought nobody was in the house I ran away and went to my grandmas house (it was only a walk away so it wasn't actually too far.) and I ringed the doorbell. My Grandma answered the door and I told her the situation So I stayed at her house for a while. My parents were (thankfully) not mad at me. And I discovered my brother didn't go away his whole body was just covered by the blanket

    hehehe, oh you guys are gonna love this one. Many years ago, my family was going on a trip to Disney World. We were at the airport and at some point I got separated from my mom. One of the employees there found me and asked me if I was lost. I of course said yes, and the nice lady guided me to the “Lost and Found” area where I got to eat ice cream and watch Frozen (It had just come out on digital.) I was devastated when my family came to get me. I apparently ended up running away and going back to the little place to keep watching the movie. Safe to say my parents were not very happy with me, but hey! Free ice cream, am I right? I don’t really remember how old I was when this happened though… Okay let me just do the math real quick. So Frozen came out in 2013, subtract my year of birth from that and you get… 7! I was 7 years old when this happened so I must have been a really dumb child 😅

    My story is rather benign and was in the Swedish labyrinth of Ikea, this was in and around 2011-2012 and when I was around 4-5, my parents and I had been walking in one of the sections, them in front brother in a buggy, I was wandering behind them and had likely stopped to look at something and my Parents had merged with the crowds, they didn't seem to notice and if they had it would be impossible to go back to find me, I had been briefed several minutes before hand about what to do if I were to get lost and whilst crying looking for my parents had managed to find who I believe was a member of security, again details are super fuzzy being that I was four or five. The Guard took me down an escalator with plants near it, which is weirdly one of the few things I remember, and took me to the kids play center at the front of the building, that being where lost children would be put until their parents arrived, in the mean time they gave me some colouring, it wasn't maybe four minutes before my parents arrived to get me, finding a very content me colouring, and very annoyed that I wouldn't be able to finish said colouring, yeah you can get lost in an Ikea quite easily.

    My senior year of high I went to homecoming dance with some friends, I had my own car and driver license and I told my parents that I would see them after the dance. Mind you, I was living with my dad at the time in a totally new town for just my last year of school, I lived in the same town for my entire life and schooling and my old school didn't have after school sponsored dances so my parents didn't know the town and weren't used to me staying out late. The dance was fine and my friends had fun and I had eaten my weight in popcorn and it's nearly 11 at night and the dance closes at 11 so I'm expecting to start gathering up my friends to drive them and myself home when the teen center staff asks me if I want to go to midnight movies. The town had a movie theater but it wasn't up and running until that very day when they had gotten it ready before hand and was going to show a movie in it for the first time in like 30 years. I'm ecstatic, I love going to the movies and I still had a lot of energy and this was more time to hang out with friends so I ask around and we all go to the movies. We get there and while we are in line getting our one free item, I send a text to both my dad and mom telling them I would be home late then I shut off my phone like I'm supposed too. P.S we watched the first movie of pirates of the Caribbean, great time. We get out and I'm laughing with people as we figure out who I'm taking home because some new people wanted rides and others were going with other people, you know, indecisive teenager stuff, when I check my phone, it's past 2 am by then and I had gotten a over a dozen calls and a handful of text messages. Confused, I check them and everyone is asking where I was and what was happening and I'm just thinking to myself "what the hell, I told people." I check my sent messages, the two separate texts I sent to both parents hadn't gone through. My mom had woken up, confused and worried to where I was because the dance should and was over and didn't know where I was. Her and my dad drove past the school, but it was dark and not knowing what to do since they didn't know the town, had gone to the police. They went just to ask if I was there or if they knew of any events that I might be at. The officer didn't and wanted to know if he should file a missing person's report or a declare me a runaway. My parents wanted to hold off because those things do stay on your permanent record and just asked to keep an eye out me while they drove around a little more. Thankfully by then I had seen the messages and called them, unfortunately for my friends my parents forced my brother(who was visiting) to drive my car home and I went with them to the police station to tell them I wasn't lost and they didn't have to worry. The officer there was really nice about it and I wasn't yelled at thankfully because it wasn't really my fault since it was technology that failed us. We still laugh about it to this day and I am so glad that my parents arent' the freak out types.

    In hs I rode my bike a lot to school. One day my mom told me she was gunna pick me up and drive me to school. I forgot this and assumed my bike was chained up ready to go when I wanted to leave. I used to stay afterschool along and hang with the nerdy and outcast kids. Great people. I stayed afterschool forgetting my mom was gunna get me and I also put my phone in my bag cus I didn’t think I needed it. Needless to say after an hour I went to get my phone and saw all the calls and text wandering where I was. My mom was crying. But now we just laugh at the story.

Of course i had no clue what was happening at the time. I just knew i was having so much fun playing with the other kids. But then we were tudhed off. Turns out, a fire broke out and we were evacuated from where we were staying.

    with that football story i (16m, overconsumtion of reddit videos )guess i do count: a year ago i went on a walk and i took off my headphones (can be used for calls and they put my ringer in it) because it was getting dark. (i was in a suburban neighborhood) and my mom got worried and called me like 8 times and texted me a lot and she went looking for me, just a misunderstandment right? wrong. i was near my house and my mom saw me and said "why did you do this to me and cried" and i didnt know what i did and i checked my phone. she then accused me of ignoring her (i didnt) and took my phone away the next day. im not mad at her for worrying i probably wouldve done the same thing but it was just an honest mistake and i got in trouble for no good reason

    I was on holiday in Spain I think. I got lost…a lot! So much so that my parents got me a dog necklace with my name and address on it 😂 anyway we were on the beach and apparently I’d wandered off. Eventually the police found me and found my family. They ask what happened and apparently I just said ‘the man took me’…wtf? I don’t remember this, it’s purely based on my mum telling me. I was probably like 2-4 years old. And I just wonder if something serious happened like.. did a man try to kidnap me or was it just classic kid poor wording? Like maybe I just got lost and a man tried to help me ya know?
