• No joke, I remember my parents installing “child safety locks” on the apartment door and it can lock from the outside by turning the key a certain way…

        cuz sometimes me and my older brother was at home and no adults with us, so they had to lock the door from the outside to prevent us from running away…

        I think this lock was installed after my running away incident…

    My Mom did not give a fuck! We lived in a small town and could walk home if we weren’t with her when she left.

    My kid did this and scared the shit out of us. The whole store was looking. This meme was posted in our family group chat.

  • Me in the mid 2000s running away from home and my mom had m the police searching for me…

    (context: older brother was abusibe and chased me around the house to fight me and I got scared and so I ran)

    This was Guangzhou, China…

    my mom later told me about the supposed widespread kidnappings throught the country and said I could’ve been kidnapped…

    I still have trauma from that day. 🫠

    Oh yea I remember my parents installed those child safety lock thing that can allow you to lock the apartment door from the outside with the key… so that we can’t run away when no adults are at home… Fire Hazard wtf…

      My parents were checking out the building site for our new house in the woods and I got bored/tired and went back to the car to nap. They looked everywhere for me and I was just safe asleep.
