I agree that control is an illusion. I don't seek it as my goal. I certainly don't think I have it. Influence is something I can have.
So the kid snuck out last night. I called three parents at 11:45 and spoke with one of them (so far) about what is going on with this group of kids. I picked up S at and drove him home. Told him I love him and we will talk about consequences when I'm not too angry to be productive. I still wanted to say some stuff so I told him the very next time anyone takes him anywhere without my permission like that I will fill a kidnapping report with the police no lie.
