[quote=Anonymous]The biggest point for me is that the schools are the logical origin for calls to be made since the schools will be contacted by police/hospitals/etc.

While our children have lots of friends, I can't think of many of those friends who have our contact information.  Not because it is private but because it just isn't something you share, like "Hey, you're in my calc class aren't you?  We're heading over to the SAE house for the party.  Wanna come?  Great.  Let me text you my parents' contact information just in case there is a problem and you need to call them."  That is weird.

OTH, in the category of the best defense is a strong offense, to be sure that our kids get our help and resources if they need them I am going to suggest that they give our cell phone numbers and email addresses to 10 or 20 friends.  I'll suggest that they give their friends permission to contact us if they (our kid/s) gets in trouble or is hurt.  If the info never gets used then no harm no foul but if there is a problem and our kid/s can't call then someone else will have their back so we can help if they need it.[/quote]
