The problem is when the administrations refuse to cooperate with a legal custodian - I bet if the situation had his wife trying to pick the child up, under the same conditions, it would have all gone smoothly...
I understand. Even in the hospital to get your baby you have to have a matching wrist band, mothers and fathers both. And of course unless a child needs neo-natal, they just leave your child in the room with you so you can watch over them.
I’m fortunate to live in a community where everybody knows everybody and can tell you what you had for breakfast. A stranger sticks out like a sore thumb, we know all well enough to know if one of us has gone whacky or changed behavior. We look out for each other. I know I have gone to one of the school aids and asked...who was that that picked up Charlie? Just to make sure they’re paying close attention.
How many ID’s are we going to have to start hanging around our necks to go about our business. I wore one around my neck at work and used to decorate it for Chritmas and other holidays. Plus, it’s like having to pull on your drawers every morning...don’t leave home without it.
Another thing I still haven’t gotten used to is having the hassle of picking up my cell phone even going to the rest room. I get a real chuckle out of hearing somebody on the cell phone flushing their dang toilet. Awwwwk....
