Parents didn't inform provider that grandparents were no longer allowed to pick up and their info was all listed on the forms as ok to pick up. Grandparents had picked up many times before and it was never an issue. Provider released child to grandma only to have parents freak out an hour later as grandma was no longer allowed to see the child...ugh...the provider was totally stuck as it had all been ok the week before...

I really only like to release them to mom/dad. I too would do what Reggio does and take the child to the parents myself to save any issues.
I wouldn't say your friend was stuck - as the parents should have done their part to advise your friend the Grandparents were no longer able to pick up their little one.
I'll add that to the form- it is their responsbility to ensure that they update the pick up list- as you say, family dynamics change so fast.
I like the password idea but, in a situation of life and death not sure I would remember the password!

thanks for your input ladies ~ always valued !! Helps me see things differntly
