DS had just gotten off his grounding and he's really done it now.
He's been on his best behavior for the past few days, and wanted to spend the night with a friend, but we said not until we talked to a parent. After a couple of weekends ago, this is just what we're going to do when he wants to spend the night with a friend. DH talked to this "dad" and felt that everything was okay -- found out that the boys needed to be in by 11 (it's not a school night), found out where they lived, all that.
Around 1:30 a.m., we got a phone call from some girl saying that DS was at a party and was spending the night with his 17 yo GF.
I was in bed, and I have to say that when DH came to tell me it was the scariest moment of MY LIFE. He didn't come out with it right away, but was beating around the bush saying, "What's that dad's number again? Where does he live? Can we check it out to make sure he's still there?" and things like that. My heart was in my throat, thinking he was going to follow up with "there's been an accident." I kept saying, "What's wrong??? What's wrong???" before he finally spit it out about the phone call.
So we went out in the car to where this "dad" lives and there was nobody there! We tried calling DS's cell phone, and then the dad's phone, but nobody was answering. We drove all over town, but had no idea where the girlfriend lived because they just started dating.
Anyway, we were up all night trying to find him. We called the GF and we could tell there was a party going on there. She denied he was there, but then we got ANOTHER phone call from a different person saying he was.
We called the police and they said there was nothing they could do unless his life was in danger.
I'm probably leaving something out of this story because I'm so frazzled and tired.
I'm just out of my mind with fear, dread, and worry. Here it is, 9:30 in the morning and DS still has his phone shut off (which he's not allowed to do, hence the reason he has it in the first place!).
He's done. He's finished. He just lost every single bit of freedom he has ever had.
I'll update later when I hear from him.

and thanks for the warning (my DS is 10) How easy it is to think it would never happen to 'our' kids. I hope everything goes ok
). Also, when I googled the GF's name, I found a profile dated back a couple of years when she was 14 and her mother was throwing a keg party for her.
