He shouldn't be giving a 3 year old, autistic or not, permission to go anywhere by himself.

Save a child. Make the call.

I think that this incident was a one time event.

If it happens again - yes I will call.

Maybe next time the kid will get nailed by a car and you won't have to call.

Or maybe next time the kid will go to someone else's house and they will tell themselves it's just an isolated incident.

I see you've dealt with CPS before. You know they'll give enough information to the parent that they'll figure out you were the one that called and you want to avoid the confrontation with the parent. I would have had the confrontation when returning the child but too late for that now...

We had a similar family - baja will know who I'm talking about - the kid went wherever and the mother had no clue where he was. A neighbor called CPS. Families stopped speaking BUT the good side of it is the parents ACTUALLY BECAME INVOLVED WITH THEIR CHILDREN!!! They played with the kids, took them places, did everything they weren't doing before when they expected the neighborhood to raise the kids for them.

Make this call.

Yep, he doesn't come around now unless I'm outside.

Large improvement from the time he snuck into my house in the middle of the night and drank juice and watched tv. Or the time he tried to hide from his mother by climbing in your boat.

It sounds as if this went on for some time.
At what point DID you decide to call?
