My stock answer for things I can't honestly predict is, "it would depend on the nature of the situation." Then I would expand on it and explain that for some things I would just call the parents to come get the child, for some I would call an ambulance first, then the parents, then my back-up care (just in case), sending the child alone if necessary, and if my DH is home and it was an ambulance-worthy event, I would go with the child.
