Parents, Please Check Your Paperwork!
This is a disturbing account from a school within miles of my home. Apparently, the non-custodial father came from Texas to take his son. The father went to the school and asked to take his son to lunch and to buy shoes. The boy never returned and the authorities are looking for them.
Unfortunately, the school did everything they could by following procedures. It appears as though the paperwork permitted the father to take his son, even though he had no right to custody of his son.
The lesson of this story is parents need to do everything they can to protect their children from harm. Hopefully, the boy is recovered safely. The fear and anguish of the mother must be terrible.
