As much as I hate to place blame (it belongs squarely on the person who took Jessica) the link that was broken in the communication chain here, was Mom not picking up the phone. If you're a single Mom, you're making a choice to NOT pick up the phone. Sleeping or not, you don't have to turn it off, knowing the school *could* call. What if Jessica had been ill? Or injured? If your phone rings in the middle of the night, do you ignore it because you're sleeping? Sorry, but Mom made a really bad judgment call. And I'm sure that no one is beating themselves up more over it than she is. I've made bad calls as a parent, we all have. Most of the time though, we get lucky. I feel really badly for the Mom.
