[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the kid is in school at the time, the school has to deal with it. If the kid is with the parent at the time, whoever finds the parent has to deal with it.  Probably the worst scenario is if something happens to the parent at home, and the kid is a baby or toddler with no older siblings.  Might be good to have a babysitter for emergencies you could text if you were starting not to feel well. Preschoolers can be taught to call 911 or walk to a neighbor's house.  If your kids are older, figure out who their best friends are whose family they would feel comfortable with.  Even if your family lives hours away or out of state, they could always drive or fly the next day to be with the child.  Writing info on a card in your wallet is a good idea.  Also be in daily touch with someone so that if they don't hear from you, they will know something is up.  [/quote]

The school doesn't deal with it after school ends. If no one comes and picks up a child after the parents and all emergency contacts are called and don't answer, then the police and/or social workers are called to pick up the child when the office closes at around 5 pm. [/quote]
