One situation started out where a mother emailed into where we work asking about her son which she hasn’t talk to in over 6 months. He was suppose to be home 3 months ago. He no longer attended the school. So I made some calls first to the on campus police which directed me appropriately to Amherst.
I made the call over to amherst with all the information from the campus police, including the students address, and personal phone number. I was told they would take care of it. I also gave them the contact info for the concerned Mother so they would be able to let them know they are looking into it.
A few weeks later we get another email asking about the where abouts to her son. Amherst never bothered to update the mother on their progress from what it seems.
So I call Amherst again, and asked If I could get an update so I could forward it on to the mother. I was told something like we’ll get around to it. ITS BEEN TWO WEEKS.
If I was this parent I’m sure I would be upset about my son missing. Kind of ridiculous IMO.
I still don’t know if they have done anything about it. We haven’t been contacted by the concerned mother again, so hopefully its taken care of. 2 weeks though of not knowing what happened to your son …
