When A Dad Found Out Why His 8-Year-Old Disappeared Every Night, He Was Stunned

Barry Amante thought he was a good father. Not only was he able to provide for his family, but he made sure that he spent as much time as humanly possible with his son, Ken Amante. But even the best parents can miss the signs that something’s wrong with their kids.

Eventually, he realized his 8-year-old son was disappearing every night and he had no clue about his whereabouts, so he set out to investigate, and what he found left him completely blindsided.

After following him one evening to check up on Ken, Barry discovered where he was going every day after school.

Meet Ken Amante

Ken Amante was living in Davao City in the Philippines. And although he was only 8 years old, he was a great kid who never caused his parents any problems. This was the main reason why his dad didn’t realize something was wrong with his son.

He Was a Responsible Young Man

Ken walked to school and came straight home after class. This was a daily ritual that he never strayed from. But one day, he came home late and this pattern continued to repeat itself day after day. That’s when his dad started to worry.

Dad Was a Hard Worker

Barry Amante ran a car mechanic business from his home, but business wasn’t always so great. There were times that his job didn’t bring in as much money as he would have wanted. So, he started working extra hours to bring in more revenue.

But he had no idea that this was an oversight on his part.

He Made a Mistake

He knew he had to work more to ensure he could continue to put food on the table every night for his family. But when he realized his son, Ken, was sneaking away after school, he started to doubt whether he should have spent more time paying attention to his family.
