This is a problem that bothers many parents - your child hosts a friend and when the time comes to finish the playdate the child refuses to go and his parents disappear and you are stuck.
One mother revealed that when she encountered such a case - she took a particularly drastic step when an adolescent child her son hosted refused to leave his friend's house.
In a post posted on Reddit's Am I The A ** hole forum, the anonymous mother claimed she had called the police to take care of her 13-year-old son's friend.
She explained that they never really liked their son's boyfriend, but since their son (Brian) is on the autism spectrum, very few other kids agreed to hang out with him, so they got his boyfriend Tom who would come play with him and even sleep with them.
However, during Tom's last visit, he refused to leave their home when she told him it was time for him to return home - and his mother did not come to pick him up either.

"I tried to tell my son that Tom only uses him to play on his Nintendo Switch, but he can't process it. Every time Tom arrives he takes over the game and usually plays in single player mode," she wrote and then recounted: "This weekend Tom arrived Sleep with us and as usual he ran straight to Brian's room, played the game and sat there for hours. He played until three in the morning on Sunday, then woke up at 10 in the morning, and without joining us for breakfast continued to play. Around 12 Brian reached his limit and told Tom he had arrived. "Time to go home, but he was completely disconnected. Brian came to me and asked what he should do, and I told him to be more assertive. An hour later he came back crying and said no matter what he said - Tom just ignored him."
The mother went on to explain: "I told Tom he had to go home, and he looked me straight in the eye and said - 'No, I do not think I will do that'. I then called his mother who did not answer. Next and sat down on Brian's beanbag chair - again opaque to everything we said. "
This is the stage where the story gets the twist, she recounts: "I got to my end. I went into the other room and called the police. Since we live in a small town, the cop (who is a good friend of ours) arrived right away. Tom finally recovered and was brought home by police, but on his way "I told him he would never step on my house again. I told him not to talk to Brian at school and not to send messages to Brian in private."
As expected, she said an hour later Tom's mother called and "screamed about the horrible way her son was being treated. I stayed calm and told her I called her, but she said she was busy meeting and could not speak. I received dozens of angry texts, both from Tom and his mother. "From numbers I do not know. I do not care what these other parents think, but I still wonder if they are right that I exaggerated," she concluded.

Call the cop
A justified and understandable step
Wild exaggeration
More than 1,500 people responded to the post, and one of them wrote: "You took all the right steps. In a similar situation I was either calling the police or physically dragging the little brat out of the house. For the safety of the child and so they will not sue me - calling the police is the right thing to do."
Another wrote: "At first I thought it was an extreme act just because I heard too many stories about children getting involved with the police because of small things and it affects their lives forever. However in this case the policeman was their friend, so basically she just asked the policeman to leave the child (At least I hope that was her plan.) There is no harm in that and who knows what would have happened without this possibility. "
Of course not all respondents agreed that she took the right step, when someone else claimed: "Other than physically taking Nintendo I feel she did not realize all the options she had before calling the police and then even banned Tom from ever talking to her son. I understand she feels her son is being exploited "Because of his game, but now Tom will go and tell everyone that Brian's mother will call the police if you hang out with him. Brian will now be even more outcast and have even more difficulty making friends, especially since it's a small town."
