[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I am a teacher who has made a number of CPS calls.  [/b]It would never occur to me to call CPS because a kid came to school without a sweatshirt, unless the kid was very young or very disabled and clearly in distress.

Having said that, if I asked my kid to take a sweatshirt to school in their backpack, they would take it to school.  I don't think it's an unreasonable thing to ask.  [/quote]

Jeez, what happened?[/quote]

Not PP - but jeez you are naive to be surprised or think this happens once.

Think kids with suspicious bruises & burns, and flinching. Parents repeatedly missing pickup from the bus or school, and then showing up late & obviously impaired/high/drunk. Kids reporting abusive home situations. Kids not showing up for school, not being able to reach the parents.

Not having a coat is not even near being on the list of things I’d report. I’m glad that there are nice families who think this is the worst you can do as a parent. [/quote]
