What to say to your teenager when you ask, “Where are you going?” as they are on their way out the door, and they reply, “Out with my friends.”

Up to 65,000 people go missing every year in Canada, over half are women. This is centered for aesthetic symmetry. Image by Josehf Lloyd Murchison.

Missing I’m not being nosey, I just want to know where to start looking for your body, when you don’t come home. By Josehf Lloyd Murchison

Powerful words and message Josehf…..its a scary world for us all at times. Teenagers can be a worry especially as they are not always truthful re their whereabouts! Debx

I have a son that is having troubles. Did you know you can get a GPS key fob. Then there are phone trackers and other kinds of spy wear you can get. And after contemplating these you realize you are going nuts.

It is meant to be macabre, how else do you make a teenager think.
