Guest guest Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Yes I remember, Weymouth wasn't it, Caz has the same thing in Brighton and found Becks dangling her feet off the end of a pontoon. When Sam did it, he was naked heading for infant school playground I think, in the middle of road, a van driver pulled across so nobody could run him down but was afraid to approach lest he be thought a pervert, lady with kids took him in, when we collected him he was wearing barbie pants and bashing stones on her TV screen - arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Thank goodness he is past it now Mx Our worst time (Mandi will remember) was when we were on holiday, staying one road away from the beach, and he got out.We had only been there a day so we had no idea where he would go and he is attracted to water. We called the police who were brilliant and called in the coastguard, helicopter search etc. I went out looking for him asking anyone I met, one lady lent me her mobile phone so I could keep calling the police and home (it was a long time ago!) she had no idea who I was or if she would ever see her phone again but she wanted to help. Still brings a tear to my eye. The police found him trying the door of a house 3 doors away. He was covered in sugar so had obviously gone into someone elses house and raided their kitchen. We never found out where but I bet they got a shock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 has been like since forever, now 15yrs old and still running! It very much depends the reason for running, in my boys case it is a physical need, he was built for speed and physical ability. The problem if the child is not able to mainstream is finding an outlet for this, absolute proven here through the years that if has vigorous exercise he will not run away the rest of the day. We seem to be having a terrible job trying to prove this need that if he were mainstream regular lad would come as a right in any main stream school, if it is a physical need rather than seeking out anything in particular then higher fences will not be the answer as there will be an unmet Re: OT- "escape artist" Hi Jayne, I have a friend who's son was just like this at about the same age. She is an oracle of information on things like this so might be able to help you. I'll send her your e-mail addy and ask her to mail you ok?
