About 3 hours after I dropped son round his Dad's got a phone call from ex saying he had lost the kids (son 4, child from previous relationship 11).
Apparently he had let them walk home alone from the town centre (about mile and half) crossing many busy roads and a very busy A road. They were meant to meet half way, but when he got to where he thought they had agreed to wait, they werent there so he phoned me.
You can imagine all the things going through my head as I left work to drive over there and find out if my son had indeed gone all the way home.
He acted as if he had done nothing wrong, didnt even say sorry until he realised how angry I was and had pointed out that actually if anything had happened to them, he would have been charged with neglect.
