They are supposed to keep my child safe!

What happened should never happen! I am still in shock and super scared & upset.

As you all know, my son E has autism level 3 and is nonverbal, and tonight I almost had a heart attack. Why?

Today E has been at the after-school extra school (autumn break from school), so he wasn’t at his regular school (I don’t know how else to describe it). I’m still a wreck after what happened.  due to me not having autumn break from school, and I must attend school (which I did!).

To make this post not so long (due to me being a wreck and the shock having given me a migraine), I went to the store to buy some groceries, and after I had paid and almost packed down all the items in my bag, my phone rang. I saw the name of the person who had E at the extra after-school place. My heart dropped. I answered, and all I could hear from that call was “E is gone. He has disappeared and has No shoes,” so I threw my last items in the bag, ran out, and started to scream. 

Luckily a friend of mine came, so I threw all my stuff on the ground and yelled at her to wait and watch my stuff. I screamed shortly about what happened while I ran off. 

It felt like hours. Never-ending time and the panic I had… oh my. When all this happened I got a massive sharp pain in my chest towards my heart but I ignored it. Where tf is my son!? was all I could think of.

I ran around the entire village, screaming, crying, and panicking! I called M while crying and having a panic attack. He couldn’t help me. He is working, but I never ever thought of him leaving his job to help me search. I called to let him know what happened. 

After, like I said, what felt like hours, never-ending time, we found him. 

He is fine. No harm, no accidents, no bruises, no wounds. Thank God!

About the autism and nonverbal part, he doesn’t really know what danger is, and he couldn’t answer me or the person who took care of him today.

Thank Jesus that E is alright!
