I think my kids school lied about calling CPS rather than calling my husband to pick her up
Our daughter (7) started school last month. I told the front office under no circumstance should they call me if something happens to her, especially Wednesday

They were told explicitly to call her father, who works overnight but is home all day as a result.

There is no-
y way that a CPS agent is just hanging
around this school at all times, and didn’t bother to stick around to lecture a parent who ‘abandoned’ their kid when they showed up.
I think they lied because they don’t like that dad is supposed to be their primary point of contact. I’m going to follow up with the principal when I’ve calmed down of course, but what the actual …
