My 10-Year-Old Son, Who Was at His Grandmother’s House, Called Me Saying, ‘Save Me, Mommy!’
Heart-Stopping Birthday Surprise: Mom Raced to Rescue Son Who Was Safe All Along
Arlene received a distressing call from her 10-year-old son Leo while he was staying with his grandmother. His terrified plea for help sent her into a panic, only to discover later that it was all a surprise for her birthday.\
Two weeks into Leo’s stay at his grandmother Martha’s house, Arlene received a call from him saying, “MOM, PLEASE SAVE ME!!! I’M SCARED! I’M IN SOME DARK PLACE, AND THERE’S A MAN WITH ME.” The call ended abruptly, and despite her frantic attempts to reach Martha and her husband Brandon, Arlene drove to Martha’s house in a state of panic. Upon arrival, she found a note saying “HAPPY BIRTHDAY!” and discovered it was a surprise party organized by her family.
Arlene’s initial terror turned to relief and then confusion when she realized the scare was part of a birthday surprise planned by her family, with Leo’s involvement. Though shaken, Arlene was touched by the gesture and vowed to remember the birthday as “unforgettable,” albeit with a promise for no more such scares.
