What would you do.... child not at school.

I know this isn't an AIBU but I'm posting here for traffic.

My dd friend from school has knocked for her yesterday and today. At half 11. When I pointed out she was at school the child went 'oh it's a school day.'

Child wasn't ill and said mum just couldn't take them to school.

I'm friendly with the mum, as in we message occasionally and I know she suffers with anxiety and depression.

I'm not sure if this is why her child has been off school and want to offer to help but don't know how without seeming judgey or nosey. Which I'm not but if she's struggling I'd like to offer support. We live fairly close so thought if offering to take her child to school when I take dd in.

Its really nice that you want to help. Id maybe strike up a normal hi how are you conversation then mention that her daughter has been round and see if she says why shes off . Or maybe just say im going anyway no need for us both too go.

You don't say how old the girls are, I assume quite young. I'd offer and if she says no let the school know so they can intervene.
