    Nothing works mate! unless they want to be found, 14 is such a huge watershed of a year for some kids. Assuming he is a smart kid, knowing his Dad, then that is a gimme really, he will be sorted. He wont be out on the streets, he will have someplace to stay, it may not be considered "parentally wonderful" but he will be ok. He will also be very, very confused, because 14 is a child, no matter how big and grown up they think they are. Knowing only a little of the history here it is difficult to comment really, but my gut says he is ok.

    What a horrible thing to have to deal with.

    Can I please put my name down to give this young fella a hug when he comes home, then a big kick up the bum for the stress and worry he is/has caused.

    Ok you can quit that shit right off!..........ashamed of what exactly? Giving your young fella a bit of or a HUGE telling off, and no doubt some consequences for whatever he was up to????? Maybe you even yelled and swore at him? Sounds like you were being a Dad to me.......stop blaming yourself ok!

    Shit this is rough Sarge. I'm not looking forward to this happening with mine.

    I don't know if this is a help but the first thing I would be doing is rounding up all of his mates. One of them HAS to know something.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Thoughts & hugs to you from Nelson SARGE!!

    as mentioned.. other kids will know where he is! Do you know who his main friends are?? can you contact their parents.. to put the word out there amongst his circle.

    Wishing you all the best, & crossed fingers that he will come home soon!!

    We all can. I don't know many people in Auckland, but the ones I do know are some of my best mates. I've emailed them all the picture of Shelby, and asked them to email it to as many friends as they can.

    Lets all do likewise.....spread this far further than KB.

    The dangerous testing time in "growing up"!

    When a boy is that age, he can't believe how stupid his father is.

    By the time he turns twenty one, he will be wondering how you learned so much so quickly!

    Been there done that with my old man, then with my own kids!

    Open door, open arms, say nothing when they return!

    Just carry on normal at home, he will be doing enough thinking for the whole family.

    One day, when he is ready, maybe he will bring it up and talk about it!

    The less you say the better, just show him that he is loved.

    It's a bit like coaching footy teams, "you" run the practice on Tuesdays and Thursdays but "they" have to play the game on Saturday!

    He has just gone to the game a bit early, you have to trust him, this is a big learning curve for all of you, especially him.

    By all means check and make sure he is OK and who he is with, where he is and that he is safe but try to let him come home just as he left it on his terms.

    I believe he will be home soon as it sinks in what an arsehole world it is out there and what a friendly loving place he left behind, add on hungry and that home cooking and bingo!

    Like the cheese man said, "Good things take time".

    Stay the course, this is a testing time but an essential part of growing up and no one ever said it would be easy! Cheers John.

    May take awhile Sarge but one day he will probably say sorry for the grief hes causing you........i agree entirely with oldriders post.....i was a complete fuck-up at that age...the reason...no idea,i just was.....many years later i sat my old lady down and apoligized for making her life hell,her reply was just to say "well i guess you were worth all the sleepless nights then eh"
    Be the person your dog thinks you are...

    Sad to hear that Sarge. I'll be praying for you and your boy.
