I would let the kids go to school so that I could go look for my husband!!
Understand your point of view Nads, maybe I'm too over protective and it struck a chord in me or I worded my post incorrectly. If my husband was missing, and it was a school day, I would still not take them to school though, I would leave them with 'trusted friend', because I wouldn't know what 'went down' so to speak, and of course I would go and look for him as well, all the while checking the kids were still ok. I'd be out there day and night, no sleep.
This is is why I'm so sceptical:
Back in the mid 90's I had a DV problem and sent kids to school, Family Court paperwork and all done and given to the school that no-one apart from the mother could pick the chidren up, Principal knew, teachers knew, Federal Police were involved as he would have skipped the country with the children as he had threatened to do so many times.
All ok for a few months, all on High Alert. Nothing had happened. I thought well good, even I became complacent. Then.......
Two months down the track the father walked into the school and picked up the children, no questions asked. There was someone relieving at Reception and they let the father whom they had seen before pick up his kids.
Kids were found all safe he just did it to upset the mother. That is why I don't trust anyone with my chidren (even though they are now 21 and 25 years old) with anyone. Now though I have no say, my boys have grown up independent of their worrying mum, which is all I could really ask for, bless their hearts.
**Sorry if off topic, but in my mind it's still relevant to a parent's Duty of Care for his/her children and the way GBC handled/mishandled this duty of care as the Primary Care Giver, as he would have been then, please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it all ties in to what he did not do after Allison was found deceased.**
