non negotiable! Also, if I can't reach the parent, they are not leaving with anyone else, even on the approved list.
I don't know how I'd handle it if a back up came claiming the parent is in the emergency room. I guess, being in a rural area, I would call the emergency room, explain the situation, and hope they'll say yes or no. No...I'd just drive there with the kid, probably.
