Some children will become involved in crime, drugs or alcohol and knowing what your child's habits and normal behaviour is can help to identify risk factors. Many parents will want to go out and look for their child, this can be a good idea but always leave someone at home, if your child decides to come home and no one is there to let them in or greet them they may decide to turn back around again. The police will always follow up telephone contact with a personal visit for this reason.
We would always ask that parents would try to make contact with friends or relatives by telephone before calling the police to see if they have seen your child. Please bear in mind that friends may lie thinking that they are protecting your child so you shouldn't always take their word that they haven't seen them as being accurate. If you already have this knowledge you will substantially increase the chances of finding them quickly. When a child or young person runs away from home it is unlikely that they will simply wander the streets for hours on end - it is more likely that they will go somewhere that they know and visit people that they are familiar with. This will give you and the police a starting point. Your heart starts pounding and you fly into panic mode, calling her friends, your relatives, and the police.Īctually the best way to help find them is to actually get to know your child before they run away, know who their friends are and what they like to do. It’s every parent’s worst nightmare - you go to check on your child in the middle of the night, and they aren't there. My child keeps running away is there anything I can do to help find them? My child keeps running away is there anything I can do to help find them?.
