Mommya--here's a true story about premature 911 calling! Someone in our state (upstate I think) noticed their daughter missing--they had just started the "Amber" program, where notices of missing children are broadcast statewide immediately. So the girl ended up on the Amber broadcast, and everyone's tv and radio shows were interrupted for the alert. Within the next hour, with very red faces, it was announced the "missing" girl was at a friend's house, had actually left a note, but the mother didn't see it. Most embarrassed of all was the girl, no doubt!

About 40 years ago, my not-quite 2 year old daughter was missing when I woke up. She was no where in the house or in the yard. I RAN down the street to the pond. She wasn't there. I, for some reason, went down another street and there she was - 1/2 mile away from home. She was walking to her granny's house!

So that's what my first instinct was ... to frantically search myself. In my terrified mind, it never occurred to me to call the police.
