more at the linkAn investigation has been launched into how a school reportedly handed over the wrong child to a man who came to collect his granddaughter for a doctor's appointment.
The six-year-old girl, who shares the same first name as the man's granddaughter and is in the same year, accompanied him on a bus from the school to the doctor and was prescribed liquid paracetamol before she was dropped back to class. Her family learned of the visit when she returned home and showed the medicine to her mother.
The incident happened at Gillingham [Kent UK]'s Napier primary school on Tuesday morning, according to a report in Kent Online, which said the girl's father took her to the clinic to check that she had not invented the story of her visit.
"I went ballistic. I was boiling inside. The first thing I thought was the worst. I had to ask my daughter the sort of questions no parent ever wants to ask: 'Did he do this, did he do that?'.
