Where the hell is she?
The Girl has been missing all afternoon. She was at a sleepover last night with a girl who lives pretty much around the corner. But she just didn't come home this morning. I called the house a couple of times, and nobody was home. I left a message asking if she planned to move in with this family or was going to eventually come home within the next 24 hours. The whole thing is just weird. I don't get why a parent would take a kid anyplace without at least letting me know where she was going. I'm sure they just went to the mall (if the mom is insane) or to the movies or something like ice skating, but heck, how about a phone call?
Would you take a teen someplace without notifying the parent first?

Some parents just don't think! I expect The Girl said "oh, mom won't mind if I come with you" and idiot mother just took her word for it.
When my sister was 17 she had a massive row with my mother & sormed off (as you do). Her best frinds mother offered to let her stay there but didn't bother to inform my mother, so we were pretty frantic for a couple of days. My mother never forgave the friends mother & even my sister is amazed she was so unthinking!
I'm sure The Girl will turn up safe and well in a few hours.

Oh my goodness yes! No matter what age the kid is, I'd have to double check with the parent, even if I knew them real well. The only way I'd not try to call the parent, would be if I was given babysitter charge with the groundrules set as to where it's ok to go.
oh, here from Michele's. :)
Nope, I'd tell the teenager to ring :-)
no phonecall, no trip...

Now I am worried! Seriously, this is the kind of thing that would freak my stuff OUT.
I can't believe they would take Girl somewhere without having her all you, or that she would go somewhere without calling you. Bad form. Very bad form.
I wouldn't take a teen somewhere with a parents approval....but that's just me...

Creepy.
It's perfectly within reason for you to go Margot Kidder on that bitch. That's just plain not right.

Um, no. This is why cell phones were invented.
I would call the mom today and make sure SHE calls you you next time to make sure...or if she lives around the corner, why not just drop by on the way out? DUH!!
"I don't get why a parent would take a kid anyplace without at least letting me know where she was going."
Before I read this line, I was thinking the same thing. When I was younger, my friends' parents would always make sure it was okay with my parents before taking me anywhere. I can't believe any parent would proceed differently!
Have you seen Spanglish? It deals with similar subject matter but to a greater degree (i.e., one parent interfering with another's child).
My daughter is definitely required to call me when she's at a sleepover if they go anywhere. I can't imagine a parent not insisting that someone else's child call home. :(
