Scott broke one promise to his wife: never leave her dad with dementia alone. Fifteen minutes later, he was gone—and where Tanya finally found him is the part Scott still can’t believe. See…
Scott says his wife hasn't come home in two weeks-
... because of something that he did involving her father with dementia.
Ugh.
Scott, what happened? How can we help you?
So, guys, I made a horrible mistake.
So, I don't even know how to explain this.
So Tanya's dad has dementia, and she made me promise that, you know, whenever he's with me, I can never leave him alone.
Yeah.
So, I mean, two weeks ago, literally it was 15 minutes at most, I ran to the store, and when I came back, the door was wide open-
[gasps]
... and her dad was gone.
Oh, no.
So...
I know.
I freaked out, I panicked.
I started driving around looking for him.
And, like, you know, luckily Tanya found him pretty quickly because she texted me saying, "You know, I found him.
He's safe." So I was completely relieved.
I mean, upset about this, but, like, he's safe, so that's all that mattered.
But here's the thing, she never came home.
It's been two weeks.
Mm.
