Hi, we are constantly worrying about our daughter. She is a wanderer and she is just unpredictable. One minute she's in the house, the next she is gone. We are constantly having to watch her. She will leave if she is upset, bored or angry about something so we know how to prevent this from happening but at the same time she wanders when she is happy. Summer is the worst, it is just unpredictable. At the moment she is very restless and won't sit still. She loves exploring so we try taking her out to explore places and we have all the time in the holidays.
But today, in particular, we took her to the pub and there was a band playing, which was quiet and she loved it but she kept leaving the table and walked through the garden to the car park many times. Luckily we could see her at all times and I knew she wouldn't exactly leave without telling us. But, when we were getting ready to go, no one realised she was already down the road but waited at the pub for us and stayed on the path luckily, same on the way back home.
We are getting worried because like I said, the summer is the worse time of all. With school finishing next week, we are just on edge, especially because last year, she was leaving the house and places and there was a lot of police involvement and in the end she nearly got taken away and put into care. We now have her location on her phone tracking her but what if she leaves her phone. She's done it many times, she has even left her shoes at home when doing a runner. It's very worrying. How can I do my best to keep her safe? We are getting prepared but she stays in her bedroom while we are in the garden so unless someone is by the front door, she can leave.
