New Scooter...Scared To Death!

Today was a very exciting day for Trent. He finally had enough money for the new scooter he has wanted to buy! He really wanted a scooter & believe you me we have had many scooters, at least 3-4 or more over the years that are now lost, have been broken etc. Well, he got some money from his aunt keri in a birthday card & that put him close enough that I decided to spring for the rest of it. We went to the neighborhood target to buy one & there in that scooter section were three older boys from our ward. 12, 10 & 10. They were so nice & helped trent pick out his scooter told him which ones were cool, very cute.
As you can see we barely got out of the store when we opened it & off we went home. On the way home we talked about stranger danger, wearing a helmet... etc. Well, there was one thing I didn't think of.
I had a meeting with the principal this afternoon- I am the community council president & had to set the agenda up for next week- when I came home Hailey said trent was at the neighbors. I called, not there- the neighbor kids we saw earlier had invited him & the boy he was playing with to be in a "scooter club." Well, they weren't on our street. I called all their homes they were no where. I started to panic a little. It's okay, it's okay... I got in my car & drove all over looking for them. No where. Then I called one of the boy's grandmothers who lives in the ward & she said they had been there. Now I was mad- that was a couple blocks away & near a busy street. She didn't know where they were now- but her son had heard them talking about home depot. Are you kidding me?! I was in a major panic & called the other mom. We all started looking. I picked up Jack & we went to the grocery store, not there. Next, Brian called- he just got home from work- so I sent him to drive the neighborhood. My neighbor looked at the park & elementary school. Jack & I headed to target- he took one end of the store I took the other. NO WHERE! As we were running out Jack saw them scootering out of the home depot parking lot. Jack ran over with me close behind him & BOY DID I LET THEM HAVE IT! (I have to say that I didn't swear-amazing). Trent started bawling as soon as he saw me, he knew he shouldn't be there but what's a barely 8 year old to do? The thrill of being with the big boys WHO SHOULD KNOW BETTER, a "scooter club", it was all so, so, so... he said later he knew he should go home but he was far away & scared! I'm telling you I was furious!!
The scooter is put up- the parents have all been contacted-almost brett is calling one tonight. Trent is busted- I am a nervous wreck- hard day- so glad we found them.
