The school after SK finally put up a fence on the primary side for him and spent the next year fixing all the escape routes in it... Now if they'd had proper supervision for him... I digress...<br /><br />A week ago I listed him with the OPP, new school, new county... it's Prov wide and needs to be redone annually. Yesterday, his music teacher - that is also going to his new school - told me they are finishing the fence around it... Taking his arrival seriously I see although he is to have support and when I was there, there was much more support in the yard than our school.<br /><br />Yesterday I also introduced him to a Police officer at our village parade.. with the hopes that should he ever run, he will have some realization that they are "ok" to be with.<br /><br />Best we can do... 8.5yrs old and I could finally stand across the laneway from him on the swings and pull weeds in my garden this year. First year we can walk around a corner of the farm - on the road - without holding hands - still have to in busy places.<br /><br />When they go... they go... and luckily I am finding more and more, that flight/fight response is taken more and more seriously by "professionals" (police, school's etc) but there's still a long ways to go.<br /><br />Glad he was found safe. If I was nearby I'd simply pass over your fav adult beverage and find you a quiet spot on my porch...farmwifetwohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02680758336779501712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27817243.post-71951157964745891582010-08-28T23:10:05.979-04:002010-08-28T23:10:05.979-04:00Oh how terrifying! I'd like to know what you ...Oh how terrifying! I'd like to know what you find as far as GPS's. My G has a fight or flight reaction to stress and we actually encourage his running out of the classroom instead of going at his teacher. So far has stayed in his school building. I guess you just never know when that will change.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27817243.post-89365822408181852752010-08-28T15:53:50.950-04:002010-08-28T15:53:50.950-04:00Oh, I'm sooo glad Joey's safe and I know h...Oh, I'm sooo glad Joey's safe and I know he's home with you now. Every parent's worst fear for their child to wander/run.

I'm so glad that he made it back safe.little.birdyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07156310917613899680noreply@blogger.com
