My son left Saturday night...

Parents Support One Another @ MyOutOfControlTeen.com/support = I need help with the following issue:

My son left Saturday night after refusing to go to church, he told me F you and we the rest of us went to church he was gone when we got back. I called a friends house Sunday night because he hadn't come home yet and asked his mom if she would tell him to come home. She text her son and he said he hadn't seen him but would tell him if he did. I know that he has seen him though. I suspended phone service on my son's phone and I suspect he is staying with different friends and is being stubborn. What should I do? Should I make a scene and get the cops involved or find him and just make sure he is o.k. and let him come back when he is ready to talk.

You definitely want to call police and file runaway charges. If anything bad happens to him while he is on the run, you could get investigated by Child Protective Services - and charged with neglect of a dependent.
