Mind your own business
I would consider asking the teen why they were sneaking out. I would go to the parents after, with most responses he gives, but I would feel guilty if he was in an abusive home and it went worse for them. If you don’t see any sings of abuse or neglect I’d go to the parents 1st.

I don’t get involved with neighbors for any reason. (Unless they come to my door and ask me for help.) One minute they mind their own business the next you rotated your wind chimes the wrong direction and offended them and now they stalk you everywhere you go and call the cops twenty times a week with complaints that the bush in your yard is still too green.

If y’all really want to know when your kid is sneaking out put an alarm on the window, gps on their phone. You are upset about neighbors who wouldn’t get involved. What about the ones that would see that and kidnap them? Your neighbors are NOT your friends.

Personally I’d want to know if that were my kids especially because boy or girl this world isn’t safe anymore and if my kid was meeting up with someone and I wasn’t aware and they got kidnapped or something I’d be freaking out. Most definitely say something because it’s better to be safe than sorry

I would tell, what if something happens to the boy while he snuck out, I know I would feel regret. I know people say stay out of it but like I said, our world is ugly now and who know what can happen to him.
Everyone saying that it’s weird the camera is facing the kids window I’m sure that it’s not directly facing the window. The OP camera could be facing a large direction of the side of their home or something and the window just happens to be caught in the view. I doubt the OP is trying to be a creep

I agree with most as a parent I would definitely want to know. It only spells trouble. And as far as the camera being able to see this it’s probably facing her own property and the side view caught it my Nosey neighbor has one on his driveway and it looks like it’s pointing right at my house

Mind your business, might turn into a hostile situation, for one the camera is pointing in the direction of the kids window (I as a parent would have an issue with that). And parents don’t always like to hear their little angel is up to no good.

Takes a village to raise a child. Apparently not so much in this comment section. Why would she not tell the mother or father? God forbid something bad happened to their kid especially with society today.
Yes Its likely harmless and he snuck to his friends. But I’ve also known teenagers going out for “joy rides” for what they think is harmless fun ending in tragedy.
Yes your not the parent but what harm is it really by letting his parents know that you noticed he took off and leaving it at that.
That way if anything bad did happen you wont be left feeling any type of way.
It is more likely he will be fine but as a mother I would be very grateful if someone let me know.

I think if you don’t know this family, their response to this news or why this young man feels the need to sneak out that I would tell him what you saw, ask him why and then if his answer is typical teenage behavior, tell him you feel obligated to make his parents aware. On the otherhand if he’s not 14, but 16 and in an overly strict or abusive home, you may want to reconsider that plan.

Absolutely tell the parents. There are so many dangerous things he could be involved in. Anything from sex trafficking/forced sexual labor while still living at home with parents (happens more often than people think), drug use or distribution, he may get someone pregnant, he may run away… etc. If the kid deals with any mental health issues they can exacerbate any dangerous decisions he may be making.
Do any of you ever watch TV? Do you have children? Do you have any idea how many predators are out there luring children out with lies and bullshit or how many serial killers are on the prowl at any given time? Not to mention drug abuse, teen pregnancy, gang violence, the list is endless! Literally, any night he climbs out that window he could disappear forever and then the parents would be saying “you knew and you never told us”? Why? We could have saved him. Things like this happen all the time.

I look at it like this…not all parents care. I have cameras almost entirely around my property. The only part I don’t have a camera on(yet) is where I found my new neighbors(moved in a few months ago and I talked to them and did the whole welcome thing. No one else did. Not even our HOA. So I thought I could tell them this. In between our Two houses their 4 maybe 5 year old came wandering up. Now behind all of our houses is a huge lake. Mine has direct access with no bushes etc because we own it all up to the lake edge. Not everyone does, but A kid could walk right in. He seemed scared and was biting his finger. I asked if he was OK and he ran and hid by their garage. So I went and knocked on their door. When I did, he ran behind their cars. Very dangerous. His mom who was in a nightgown came to the door(through their open side window by the door I saw that she and the dad were both laying on the couch on phones or TV. Unaware their kid could’ve been in the road. I told them and they acted completely calm like he does it all the time. She said she’d send dad outside to get him. We waited til he was seen to go inside ourselves. Dad walked nonchalantly outside and told the boy “you were supposed to be in the backyard”. So one wonders, how long had he been out of their backyard and why was no one checking on him. Why were they just laying around not even aware where he was. 
well the answer is simple. Bad parents. And now I know why they moved from their last neighborhood. This probably happened a lot. I have children as young as 3. I could not imagine my daughter whose 3, wandering outside for however long alone. I’d be freaking out. But they were so calm and didn’t care. Some parents do not care. Be prepared that they might just shrug or say mind your business. If they get angry, then the kid probably sneaks to get away from them. They could possibly know and don’t care. I couldn’t in good conscience not say anything about the small child. But this is a teen. Probably with a phone. As long as your camera catches him coming home. I’d ask the boy first if he’s okay at home. Or okay in general. If you’ve spoken to him before that is.

People also need to realize not all parents are good parents. If he’s sneaking out cause he’s being abused surely the parents are the last ones who needs this video footage. I pray he’s just being a typical teenager and isn’t being abused or being lured by a predator and certainly isn’t doing anything to cause himself or put himself in danger.

A local girl snuck out of her bedroom. No one seen her do it. The girl never made it home, she was missing.
For awhile the local
Police said Aw she’s done it before she will be back
Turns out she never returned , the two girls she that she snuck out with ( supposedly her best friends) ended up stabbing her to death and leaving her near a creek bed covered in leaves. She laid there For months until one of the girls finally fessed up led authorities to the area . Skylar Neese was her name. You can look it up !
I would say something , this world we live in isn’t the world we grew up in.

You have to look at it like this hes a teenager. I don’t know about you but when I was a teenager I used to sneak out of the house. Me and my friends that lived around my block would sneak out and just walk around the block or hang out at a friend’s house When their parents weren’t home. I grew up in a very good loving Catholic home so it’s not about the home life that makes teenagers want to sneak out . For me it was about doing something I know my parents would not approve of without getting caught and staying up late. As long as hes coming home safe safe I wouldn’t worry too much but keep an eye out for anything suspicious that that you feel you really need to tell his parents about Like if hes sneaking Girls or friends into his room .

I think it would be the right thing to do for the safety of the child to tell the parents. Yeah a lot of people here are saying mind your own business and I did it when I was a teen but with the internet the way it is and human trafficking being so prevalent I think the parents deserve to know so they can do what they need to, to keep their son safe. Sorry you’re in this predicament, it’s hard to be an adult in these situations sometimes.

Yes definitely tell them but also ask them not to tell where the footage came from because 15-year-old boy will likely retaliate. I know most of us snuck out back in the day but some really dangerous things can happen. How would you feel if it was your kid?

Damn, this is a tough call. Part of me says mind your business bc home security cameras are stupid easy to get, install, and they’re pretty cheap, so if they were concerned about their son’s behavior then they could just put up cameras, but then part of me says “what if the kid goes missing or gets seriously hurt or God forbid killed” because me personally, I wouldn’t be able to cope with that what if.
This is a tough one.
I mean, I would want to know if my child was sneaking out. The world these kids live in today is not the same world that we, as parents, lived in.
On the other side of it, you said you don’t know them well and you really have no idea what is going on in their home. You don’t know what kind of people or parents they are. Going to them could have adverse consequences, beyond the son just being grounded.
If I were you, I would approach the son first. Let him know that your camera caught him sneaking out and that you’re not going to mention it to his parents THIS TIME, but it’s not safe for him to be sneaking out and doing whatever he’s doing in the middle of the night. Tell him that if you see it again, you will tell his parents.

You already know what the right choice is, tell the parents tactfully and offer to show the footage, sneaking out can lead to a lot of issues and if something happens to the kid you’re going to regret not saying anything.

Show footage to his parents
I want to tell you to tell the parents but then you might start getting questions as to why your camera is pointed at their house. I mean I guess you could tell him you were reviewing the footage and you saw this and you thought they might like to know but get prepared if they’re not happy that your camera sees what they’re doing.
