So with all the wedding stuff going on this weekend I had some family up for while. The one day two of my teenage boy cousins were over and I was not sure if they would be there. Around noon I decided to go get SS out of school early and bring him home to hang out with them. They wanted to meet him and he wanted to meet them.

I was smart called the school ahead of time to see if I was on the list. Well no policy changed this year they do not carry over. Ok fine I called DH get him on the phone and tell him he calls the school and all is good. I go get him.

When I get there I asked if I was on the emergency contact form. Now I am still the emergency contact and if I have to come get him at that point I think I can. Anyway it all hurt my brain but whatever.

I will say when I talked to them on the phone before going to get him the looked up the CO on file, we gave it to them when we registered him. They said only my DH and his BM could get him. I literally had to correct the office. I said no she is not allowed to just come get him according to the CO. DH has sole physical custody and she is only allowed to access his records. That is what the CO states.

Not like she would ever come get him or has any clue where he goes to school because no one informed her that we know of. Damn that school makes me nervous sometimes. This is the same place that said I can not have online access but tells me the information on the phone. The office people there are making me a little nervous.

Part of me wonders if DH and I should have a conversation with SS about if someone he does not know comes to the school to pick him to let office staff know and to not leave with them. I know what the CO says I have seen it.

AND always carry extra copies of the CO around so that you can whip it out to BM-centric schools.

Your DH needs to go to the school, in person, with a copy of the CO, and make sure all of the paperwork is correct. He should this at the start of every school year just to make sure everything is in order.

Yeah he needs to. They have the CO she was literally looking at it that day when I called. I know when we turned in the paperwork we did not put her name on anything at all. The only place they could have gotten her name was from the CO.
How does this person read it right there and still day to me on the phone that DH and BM are the only ones allowed to call the school to release the kid or pick up. It says she is only allowed access to records. Blows my mind is all.

That is crazy... and if you hadn't caught it she may have been able to just walk right in and leave with your SS. Just wow...

How do you not read the CO all the way through. Makes me nervous and think now we need to sit down with SS and have a talk with him about strangers picking up from school. That is what she is to him.

Too bad she couldn't understand what she was reading. That is why it is a good idea for DH to meet the office staff in person.
