    "They couldn't find me with the thermal imaging camera." I don't know what brand of sleeping bag that is, but it's a good one!

    When I was in my early teens, my family refused to accept the fact my grandmother was starting to lose her ability to do basic things (she was always super forgetful but age made it so much worse) and they would still let her do her own grocery shopping but send me along “to keep her company”. Well, every time I had to go to the bathroom or if I wanted to go look at the books/toys/games section I would let her know, even write it on her list that “___ went to look at books, meet her when you’re finished”
    Almost like clockwork I would hear a code for a missing child followed by my description. My final straw was when I walked into the bathroom at Walmart, got distracted with texting so I was a little longer than normal, and came out to cops pulling up to the store for a kidnapping call (small town with bored police all gung-ho to save some poor teenager = fast response). After that I told my family off and refused to take my grandmother shopping anymore.
    In hindsight me leaving her to look at games and books was crappy of me to do but I was resentful that my family expected me to babysit instead of accepting facts when I was already dealing with school and mental issues 🤷‍♀️

    Missing from 18 to 22 when I was found. My mom was with my step dad back then. I grew up abused. Soon as I turned 18, he dropped me off at a homeless shelter and blocked all phone calls I did to home to try to get to my mother. She filed me as a missing person after they separated and his lies fell through. I wasn't aware my mom was looking for me and was found months later in North Dakota when my husband and I were transfered there. They only discovered because of my name change and needing access to the base. Both my husband and I were taken separately for questioning because they thought I was a kidnapping victim.

    She didn't officially go missing, but was missing in my eyes. In Kindergarten there was this gorgeous ginger girl with a cute freckled face. She was very kind and everybody loved her. Then one day, she was rolled into class in a wheelchair, in tears. Then she vanished. Never returned to class. Years later in 3rd grade, I finally saw her again. She was in the cafeteria, walking and talking with a teacher. I don't know what happened, but at least I got some closure that she was alright. I suspect that she may have sprained or broken some leg body part somehow, and was wheeled into class, where she toughed it out for the day until she was taken into the hospital and had to stay, therefore missing out on the rest of the school year and changing schools before returning in 3rd grade. What's weird is she wasn't in any 3rd grade classes. In elementary school, all the different kids in the same grade operated very closely together, a kid in a different classroom could be just as close as your own classmate, so I would've definitely known if she was in a 3rd grade classroom.
    TL;DR: Girl appears in class in a wheelchair and tears then disappears for years before she's seen one last time in the cafeteria.

    I think we were about nine years old and camping with family and friends in the Welsh mountains. There were a lot of us and we would pile into three cars and walkie-talkie back and forth between them (this was the 90s). Well, us kids liked to hop between cars to see our friends so it was just assumed we were in someone elses car. One day we stopped at a SPAR and kept going... until about ten miles later. We had just passed a building with a mural of hikers painted on the side when the walkie-talkies started blowing up. We had forgotten my twin brother at the shop because everyone had assumed he was in a different car. He'd gone to look at the VHS tapes and no-one had seen him go. Thankfully the staff were very kind and were comforting my crying brother when we all raced back to get him. Twenty years later we still drive past that mural and every time we point at it and say: "That's where we remembered Dennis."

    Nobody called the police, but when I was 5, my 7 year old cousin walked me down the rural road to a highway and we got picked up by a stranger, thank god he was a good person and drove us around until they found where she lived. We were only gone for like 1.5 hours.

    Was like 20, recently because homeless and decided to ride with some friends to northern California in search of work. I got ahold of some bad acid, and ended up in Fresno mental health facility for a couple months.
    Didn't talk to anybody for at least a month before I did the acid, since my phone charger died, and I couldn't replace it. So my aunt out in Tennessee(closest family) put out a missing persons out in me. Eventually was found, and reunited.

    I was 4 or 5 when this happened I lived in a two family home, downstairs was a kitchen, bathroom, living room, and two bedrooms it was the same thing upstairs too my aunt lived downstairs and I lived upstairs with my family. I was a independent kid I did everything myself, so if we were downstairs and I was tired I would go lay in my aunt's bed and sleep, so my mom didn't think anything of it when I left the room. About 3 hours later she got up to go check on me I wasn't in the room she checked the other room I wasn't there, she ran into the living room to tell everyone that she couldn't find me, everyone got scared because my aunt and uncles had a tendency to leave the front door open, some of the family ran outside calling my name some checked the basement since I played videogames with my cousin's down there, my mom checked upstairs in my room and our house. 2 hours later while the family talked to the police my mom searched the house one more time in tears she found me under her bed sleeping with my cat Oreo. she pulled me into her arms screaming while running outside that she found me. I was missing for 5 hours. After that 11 years later she still won't let me leave without letting her know where I'm going.

    When I was like, 8, a kid got hit by a car. My mom isn’t a nurse, but applied pressure to the chest. A friend was there and we couldn’t find mom. The friend was with his dad, and everyone in a truck, and we went. About 1 hour later, she nocks on the door, very angry, and takes us home. Grounded for a week.
    Edit: TL;DR someone got hit by a car, I got lost in the chaos, couldn’t find my mom but found my friends family, went to there house until mom found me.

    My dad, my little sister, and I went biking. I was farther ahead and dad was back with my little sister. I thought I knew how to get home so I felt confident getting ahead of dad. Took a wrong turn somewhere and ended up getting lost. So I’m lost, it’s dark at this point, I’m in full blown panic mode. I have no idea where I am. I didn’t have a phone at that time since I was still fairly young. Eventually by some insane stroke of luck I pass a friends house. I know this house. I know the way home. I see police lights near my house and panic. As a little kid it didn’t occur to me that there were police at my house because of me. My dad and my little sister got home thinking that i had gotten there first. Then they called the cops. There’s cops at the house but I ignore them and go looking for mom. She’s in the kitchen bawling and in hysterics. I’ve never seen her in a state that bad. Of course it still hasn’t occurred to little kid me that it’s because I’m missing. Dad is nowhere to be found. Dad had taken his car and went searching for me. I’m asking mom where dad is and moms just sobbing. Eventually everything got sorted out but I don’t remember that part at all.

    yo quick thing for the hypothermia one where the person claims to be warm,
    when you get hypothermia do you get hot
    In fact, in extreme cases of hypothermia you may feel very warm as your body dilates blood vessels in a last ditch attempt to warm freezing tissue in your limbs. Which is actually a little interesting!

    • @Phoebe5448
      @Phoebe5448 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Paradoxical undressing, its basically your brain malfunctioning and believing you're burning hot. It's the last stage of hypothermia before you freeze to death. Very scary.

    Me and my cousins were granted permission to go to a corner store, i was 11, the other two were 10 and 7. We were told we were able to go to the one right down the street, but i didn't know the area, my cousins did though. They said it would be fine.. we ended up walking for an hour or two to go to some random gas station and get chips and drinks. We came home to no one home except one random aunt, since everybody else was looking for us. (This was in Las Vegas)

    A local woman was reported missing by her family. They got in trouble for making a false report to police because she wasn't actually missing. She'd just refused to tell her family what friends she was going to stay with and they didn't like that.

    When I was 11 or so we lived in a very very small town. Like 300 people tops. I am disabled: legally blind, autistic, have epilepsy, and balance issues. I’m hard of hearing now, but wasn’t then.
    At this school, they refused to teach me braille. Because I could read if I strained my eyes hard enough. The school was diverting the funds meant for my education/adaptive things and used it to set up a workout room for the teachers.
    They didn’t really want me there because they had to do things like enlarge my schoolwork and sometimes read too me when it got too painful to read anymore. They tried to convince my mom to send me to the state school for the blind which was about 400 miles away, and at 7, that wasn’t happening.
    I was physically bullied, tripped, pushed down flights of stairs, had homework I completed stolen and copied from and accused of cheating even though, duh, can’t see more that five feet at most and literally would get ink on my nose because I had to be so close to the paper.
    Finally, I had enough. I was sat at something called a “zero table” which was a table at the front of the cafeteria that you were made to sit at when you didn’t hand in your work. I told them when they started adapting my work where I could complete it, I’d turn it in but until then, I wasn’t going to make my head and eyes hurt worse than they did already because of their laziness. Yeah, staff didn’t like me that much because I gave as good as I got. I wasn’t disrespectful, but I wasn’t going to be treated the way they were without stand up for myself either.,
    So one particularly bad day, I was pushed down the stairs… for the second time that day and zi was just done. So I ate lunch at that damn table and when the bell rang and everyone had went inside, I walked off campus. Walked 2 blocks to my mom’s house, (this was before cell phones were affordable, and called my mom. She came and picked me up and I promptly went into my room to take a nap.
    About an hour and a half later, my mother opened the door to the principal telling her I was missing.
    “It took you this long to come and tell me my kid was missing? She’s been here for over an hour and a half and is taking a nap because y’all are refusing to do what she needs.”
    So yeah,that was fun.

    The one on dad kidnapped his daughter's after the car accident, thats ain't... thats just F up. He made the huge mistakes and now his own daughters permanently disowned him and his family. That's just f@ck up and mess up. He have hurt alots of people including his ex wife. He can't the deal the consequences but made its way worst than the car accident. Did the mom sued him and his family, I know I would.

    When I was 6 y/o my parents left me in my grandma's house, I go to the school, then for some reason when school is over I go to my house with an friend, my grandma went to the school and was really mad at the teacher and the principal, they searched everywhere, they even announced me in the town announcer thing, then when they drive in my neighborhood they see me and my friend just jumping in the trampoline like nothing is happening, they started laughing.

    My older sister who lived about 2 hours away came to visit. She normally worked 3rd shift (9pm to 5am). She'd left straight from work so she went to bed when she got to our house. Because she was still asleep in the afternoon and I was bored, I told her I'm going to a friend's house I'll be back at 4. She responded with a sleepy okay so off I went.
    I returned at 4 only to have her demand to know where I had been.
    Lesson learned: Don't talk to my sister while she's asleep.🤣

    When I was in primary school I went to afterschool club. (Where we would go and play if our parents couldn't pick us up on time) I found it easy to get lost in a book and for some reason decided to sit at the back of the room behind a row of chairs. Didn't notice everyone running around panicking that they'd lost me. I finished the book and calmly came out, to find chaos, my crying twin sister, staff on the phone, (don't know who to) and then they all just stopped and stared at me. They tried to make me promise that I wouldn't do that again but I wanted peace and quiet, it was a very small room and they didn't search all of it before panicking, so thats on them.

    No police involved. But when I was like 2/3yo (28 years ago) my mom needed to get some money from the bank and told me to keep sitting in my stroller outside the big window (there were no roads nearby its a pedastrian zone) while she got the money real quick. I said : "Yes I will"so mom went into the bank , was only gone for like a minute ....came back out stroller was empty little mudda nowhere to be seen....my mom looked around in a panic all sorts of gruesome thoughts coming into her mind....
    two minutes later the lady from the local second hand store (around the corner ) came towards her with me in tow. Turns out I had wandered in there to swing on the rocking horse they had for the kids to play at while at the store......
    my mom says that these were the longest 2 minutes of her life .....I was never allowed to wait in the stroller again.

    So I wasn't technically missing but I was silent for to long and it made my family panic. Remember this I live alone and on the spectrum
    To it started off I had a really bad anxiety attack it lasted a week because it was getting triggered over and over and on top of that my wisdom teeth was growing so I was in lots of pain to the point I was having very bad headaches so that lasted another week so 2 weeks I haven't answered call text video chat nothing I was silent. My aunt came to my house and started banging on the door and windows in tell I answered. And that's when I found out that everyone thought I was missing dead or kidnapped because around my area people are getting kidnapped. Now they put a rule on me now I have to call or text someone to let them know that I'm alive
