It's a pretty easy fix: If a child is being picked up from school, a parent or guardian needs to send the child to school with a note.

No good deed, goes unpunished.

I’m surprised the school didn’t already have a similar policy.

Unless it is some sort of race to see how extreme they can go in their outrage, (that seems to be a pretty popular sport in this country) I don't see why they so worked up over the police not being called.

He also forgot to get milk and powerball tix from the store. He’s in a timeout!

When my grandkids first see me, they climb me like kittens climb a Christmas tree. I don't think I could pick up the wrong kids.

I do not blame the mother one bit. Can you imagine the fear she had when she couldn’t find her child? The Great Grandfather should be banned from picking up the kid again.

Wow. I would be outraged, too, if my son were sent home with a total stranger. By this time of year, children have routines. Teachers know the routines. Any change from the routine should require communication from a parent. Thankfully, it sounds like no harm came to the child.

Once the grand great-grandmother sees the boy and removes his hat, she realizes it's not her great-grandson and calls the school...

Was it Kenny from South Park?

ohcomeon. The few days I substituted in preschool and kindergarten, I could see how this could happen. The rules we went by were so strict that a security guard was there to make sure it was a "known" picking up the child. So the wrong kid recognizes someone else's grandpa and jumps over to him? Grandpa takes the wrong kid?

Lighten up. It's not like they let a stranger take that child. And get grandpa an eyeglass appointment.

I think the government should provide every child with a 24/7 monitor. And the monitor should have a monitor who also has a monitor.

The report doesn’t mention how old great-grandpa is. My dad is 90 years old. He doesn’t see or hear very well and there are times when he has trouble concentrating. I would never entrust my grandchildren into his care under any circumstances. It wouldn’t surprise me to find out that this old guy had similar limitations. Maybe the family needs to re-think their options.

Everybody is enraged these days!

BTW - this happened in Connecticut where there have been a lot of snow storms. The kids are probably all bundled up in snow suits with hoods and maybe it was snowing. The kid probably thought he was a teacher and walked home with him. It may not be as weird as it sounds.

My maternal grandparents had about twenty to thirty grandchildren. Grandma always recognized me, but grandpa would always ask “which one are you?”

5 year olds should not be attending public school.

I can’t pick up my grandson unless: 1. I am on the authorized list,2. I have ID which I must show, 3. Sign out my grandson. All this must be done under the watchful eyes of the teacher or administrator, if I can’t complete all three I can’t take my grandson.

Don’t you hate it when that happens?
