    This is like when I was 11 and my family went hiking up a mountain in Yellowstone. My young cousin and I thought my brother was ahead of us on the trail so we hurried up trying to catch up to him. We were passing many hikers on a busy trail and being safe.

    An hour later my brother comes running up behind us saying everyone is looking for us! Apparently the park rangers had been mobilized to search for us, the missing children, and when we got down the mountain an hour or more later our families were down there in tears fearing we had fallen off the mountain or something.

    Point being, it’s totally possible for everyone to think you’re lost and in danger when you are fine and know exactly where you are.

      That last part sounds like how Disney World deals with lost kids- You’re not lost, you’re right here. It’s your parents that are lost.
