    Something sounds odd to me. Maybe I don't understand because I'm from another country but surely parents know the whereabouts of the adult children regardless of their profession.


    Sorry OP but your only option seems to be ring the police. They will find him.

    Is NikkNak85 back?

    If not, something/ someone very similar. :huh:

    Seems a bit strange to not have any information. If he is security and everything is supposed to be kept secret, you are risking blowing his cover by asking for advice on the internet. Why not just call local authorities.

    Or if eldest son is in a similar line of work...ask him what protocol is.

    My father worked in a similar business in the UK and used to disappear for months at an end, has he never given you a secure number to contact (with password) . Normally they give out no information just tell you he is safe

    Thank you so much for all your advice, and I do have his DOB and insurance number and bank account details!!

    So am going to phone police tomorrow and give them all these details that I never thought about....it has given me something to cling onto for today!

    Thank you so much for your advice xx

    All UK police can be contacted by dialling the national 101 number. The operator will be best placed to know whether you need to speak to West Midlands or Greater Manchester Police. You can even call them this evening to get the ball rolling - at least then you will know what they can or can't do to help.

    Hopefully it's just a case of your son being young, foolish and a bit thoughtless but better to put your mind at rest.

    Will be thinking of you.

    I guess this is a dumb question, but how can you not know where he works or any way to contact him in case of an emergency?

    If he has three cell numbers, then the bills have to go somewhere. Give the numbers to the police--even if the provider won't give you a billing address for him, they would give it to the police and that should give them a start, leading them to his home or work.

    You should post pictures on the social networking sites you've joined that way people will know if they've seen him or not.

    Please, call the police if you haven't already. Have you spoken with his girlfriend? Let us know when you hear from him!

    Please don't call an emergency number (which would be 999 in the UK) and call 101 instead. You will get to speak to the right people faster and won't be blocking a call from someone phoning with a life or death situation. (this message is for other people rather than the OP - I've worked with the UK emergency services and people using 999 unnecessarily is one of the biggest problems we have as it stops people in real need getting responded to quickly).

    Don't leave it any longer and call the police. They will be familiar with the security services, but also have the ability to check hospital admissions lists (especially important if he has been under a lot of stress and pressure). You need to stress to the police this is out of character for him, and the nature of his work. As the other friends on here have said....don't wait, do it now. Good luck and my thoughts are with you.

    Thabnk you so much for all your help x

    it is 22.12 here...and if I phone the police now with a missing adult they are going to leave it while tomorrow.

    This gives me time to get all information, insurance papers, old bank account details, I still have his security badge photocopy on my computer, so I can get all this stuff prepared.

    I reallly hope to give you an update tomorrow telling you that I was being an over worried Mom x

    CALL NOW. Why wait until tomorrow? I also work in a 911 center and the police make welfare checks all the time. Call your local police and they will help or call the police in the town where your son works. You're not being a silly, worried mom based on what you've said. Just call and get the ball rolling.

    I saw you posted while I was typing, but that doesn't change my reply. The police work 24/7. Call them.
