You know, that would really suck. Why wouldn't some school official just ask little Johnny, "hey, is this your mom?"

What happened was, the lady signed the paperwork to take the kid out of school in the school offices on the 2nd floor of this elementary school. The office called downstairs to the classroom to tell the teacher to send the kid up to the office. They told the lady claiming to be mom to wait outside the office and the kid would be right up. So, no one actually even *saw* the lady and boy meet one another. Some people *think* they saw the boy get in a car with a lady but nobody could remember exactly. Gees...

I like to think that I had taught my kids enough to scream bloody murder in a situation like that. But, then you have to wonder if anybody would have paid attention since they believed the lady was the mom. I dunno.

Something just isn't right here... she didn't just run off with some kid-of-opportunity. She was after a particular kid.
