Ban daycare.
Either dad knows where she is-or she wanted to be elsewhere with someone else.
Also on another unrelated note, people who maximize the time their kids are in these places, well, I see it a lot. It doesn't say what time she dropped the kiddos off but I would presume around 7ish. Dad's tooling around the house until 10.
3 hours unnecessarily warehoused where they could been in their PJs, watching cartoons and eating cereal.
