YES! They act like you are lying about it or something. One time I had called a parent to pick up because her son had spiked a fever. When she picked him up, she stated that he looked fine to her. Then he puked in her car as soon as she strapped him in.
You made the right call! And if it's your policy, parents need to comply.
