ID and tags? To pick up your own child? Every parent has to have this? All I can say is that I’m so glad my children are grown. I realize it’s a dangerous time, but good Lord there has to be a better way. All my daughter has to do is call the school and tell them Grandma is going to pick them up. She filled out a form that says nobody gets to pick up my children but me or their dad unless I call and notify ahead of time. We were also notified that in the event the parents were in an accident and couldn’t notify ahead of time, that we had to bring a police officer with us to get the children. That of course is a hassle, but it keeps everybody else from being hassled ALL the time.
Get between me and my kids, folks, you’ve got a serious problem on your hands.
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...
