Mom Enters Little Son’s Room Late at Night, Gets Scared When He Is Nowhere to Be Found — Story of the Day

A poor mother went into panic mode when she entered her 8-year-old son’s bedroom at night and found out he had disappeared without a trace.

“Mom! Mom!” Anthony cried as he took a seat at the dining table. “Can we go to the amusement park this weekend? Last week, Paul and his parents went there, and it was a lot of fun!”

“Oh, was it, honey?” Lydia, his mother, inquired as she placed two pancakes on his plate and a glass of milk on the table.

“Yes, mom! And do you know….” Anthony had only begun to speak when his father, Jacob, cut him off.

“Hush, Anthony! You will be late for school if you keep talking like that. You know your mom and I have to leave for work too. So hurry up and eat breakfast.”

“Nothing, Anthony,” his father interrupted. “Finish your breakfast quickly.”

Anthony didn’t utter a word. He took a fork and gently poked the first pancake. He finished one soon and was about to start the next when his school bus arrived. “Oh, Anthony! Your bus has arrived, and you haven’t finished your breakfast! How many times have I told you, honey, to get up on time?”

“I got up on time, mom,” Anthony said as he picked up his bag, but he fell silent when he saw his father cast a stern look at him.

“Cross the road safely, honey,” Lydia advised, assisting him with his bag. “We’ll see you soon! And be a good boy at school, okay?”

Anthony nodded and exited the house without saying anything. He was disappointed that his parents had again ignored what he was saying.

Lydia and Jacob adored Anthony, but they were always busy and couldn’t devote enough time and attention to him. The boy was often irritated about it, but his parents were too preoccupied to notice.

When Anthony would return from school, his food would be prepared and kept in the fridge, and he was responsible for heating it up before eating. After having lunch, Anthony would rest for a while, then go to his friends’ houses and play with them.

When Lydia and Jacob returned from work in the evening, Anthony would be studying. His father often watched TV after returning from work, and Lydia would go straight to the kitchen to start preparing dinner. After dinner, they would all retire to bed quietly.
