[quote=Anonymous]I had this happen - my kid was crying at the bus stop for having to go to school. She’s a little bit of a drama queen and admits it. I’m also a minority mom, so I do wonder what “the neighbors” think.

So a passing mom (who happens to be a teacher at her school) called the police. I found out who called (days later) because my kid told me and so did the passing mom. I did thank her for calling and my kid for confirming what happened. The police did come visit and performed a welfare check. I was surprised but I was glad that someone cared about my kid. The police also verified my kid was at school and was doing ok. It’s not a big deal unless you’re hiding something and the bar for that is pretty high (not just being gay or using pot, but like having a sex offender boyfriend.) The kid does need to be where you think they are. If they’re not, the cops will look at mom and dad. A minority might have a harder time because cops might not understand different cultures or people with disabilities (who are all different.)

Putting cameras in seems a little extreme. Know your rights, behave like a lady. If the cop mouths off you can report them. I’ve done that before. You seem overly anxious for what sounds like a shitty morning, but one where the process worked as it should.
