A neighbor kid did that once and had the fear of god instilled…

If he is smart he can learn…

My childhood would have been a whole lot different if my parents had this tech. Especially from Jr High and up

Back in the 90's, I was doing something in my garage, and a small child walked in front of my house all by himself. He was only a couple years old, and it was the middle of the day. I looked up and down the street, and there was nobody out. I didn't recognize him, so I just walked up to him and tried to talk to him, but he couldn't talk.

So, I just stood there with him so he wouldn't get hurt, but I had no idea what to do. Another neighbor came over, but she didn't know who the child was, or what to do with him either.

We stood there for ten or 15 minutes before his mom came running from about ten houses away. She said that they were visiting a friend who lived down the street and thought he was taking a nap in the house.

She was freaking out and scared to death. I never saw either of them again, and never knew who the person was down the street that she was visiting. It was all very odd and surreal.

My grandparents had a son with Downs Syndrome. He would sneak out at all hours, sometimes police would bring him home.
Grandad got three of these simple sliding locks keyed alike one for each door. On door facing was a small brass plate with hole lock bolt went into.

This is what my parents put on my bedroom door when I was a toddler. The reason I know the story of my wondering off is that they kept the house and rented it out. While cleaning up the house after the latest tenants had moved out, I asked them about the gate latch on the door, and they told me why it was there. Apparently, nobody ever removed it.

My younger brother was a bit of a hand full when very young, always wandering off. In the early 1950's it wasn't as big of a deal as today but one time he was gone so long that we even had the police out looking for him. After more than four hours it was discovered that he had been sleeping inder his bed.

I'm glad that you all survived to adulthood. I feel for your parents. Reminds me of one of my favorite comic strips,

I hope that this works out well!

All the best, Peter
