i knew this place was a hell hole and had a horrible school systems (place i used to live) but omg! the dcs worker just took the wrong kid from school to a grandmothers house an hour away and didnt realize it till the grandmother is like UMMMMM thats not her!
in the dcs workers defense though.. the worker did ask the school and the school confirmed it was the right one.. then the worker picked up the kids sibling and the sibling didnt say anything and they acted like they knew each other and the day care told the dcs worker it was the right kid.. not till the grandmothers house an hour drive away did SOME ONE identify that its not the correct kid! omg how horrible! can you imagine what the parents were thinking when their kid went missing? or the kid in the car being taken away and not knowing why?!?!

I'd say both the wrong kid and the "sibling" need a good butt warming for not speaking up sooner. It's unbelievable that the school just let the kid go without checking things better.

Well it says they didn't "say anything and acted like they knew each other" so that sounds like it was more of "hey, we're getting out of school today". Luckily it was a caseworker and not a sicko that picked them up.

makes you wonder what those kids were thinking.. if they were too scared to speak or thinking "hey im getting out of school and going somewhere!"

I guess if that were my child, I would be worried sick as well.
Goodness! They do not have any photo identification to ensure that the right child is picked up so that such mistakes will not happen?
Well, at least this case was straightened out. I am sure the school will do something about letting this incident repeat itself.

if this has happened to me, i would be thinking that my child was kind of kidnapped.
anyway, the school authorities must have learned their lesson from this. i just hope that this will never happen again. n o one can blame the worker as he/she did his/her part in full by inquiring as to the proper identity of the child to be brought home.
yes, it is true that the parents of the missing child was in agony while the child was still away. i can just imagine the anxiety, anger and agony all mixed feelings why the child was mistakenly taken somewhere else.

i cant believe how many times the dcs worker was reassured that it was the right kid.. i wonder why she didnt ask the girl?!?! i guess maybe she would think she was lying or something.. makes you wonder if she had a gut feeling compared at how many times she had asked
