[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very very rare for a person with a young child to have a heart attack or stroke and usually people in the school would are up if no one else is available. [/quote]
NP but really? Ok. A car accident and is unconscious, then. Hit by a car and unconscious. A serious fall and is being rushed to surgery. And in each of these scenarios, the children are with the mom.

How would the hospital staff know which school the kid goes to, immediately? They wouldn’t. And there isn’t time for that. Social services would be called and the child would be placed. Things would be figured out from there. [/quote]

Presumably the children's emergency contacts would be called first. They could stay with a neighbor until family could arrive.[/quote]
Dude. Wtf? Are you dense? Imagine this happens at the mall. Who the hell is going to know who their neighbors are?[/quote]
This. Police do not randomly place children with neighbors. They do not know how long the parent will be incapacitated, nor do they know the relationship between parent and neighbor. You are wrong. [/quote]

This happened to me and my neighbors offered to help. I was also given the option of taking my DC to the ER with me until a family member could be called. It was late. I decided to take my chances and stay home. [/quote]
