Do you see any problems with this... under age picking up.

[Inspired by Reggio]

.... If it is an emergency (my husband suggested) they text me a picture of the person who is picking them up, or give me their name and date of birth and I check for ID at the door.....

Yup this is a part of my release procedure as well ~ I am slightly embarrassed to admit I have had to ID dads before because they come at the interview and than a year passes and you never see them cause mom does all the drop off and pick up and well you are just not that 100% sure if it is 'really' them cause they've grown a beard or removed a beard and what not!

If I have notice I would be ok with the age. If the parents feel the teenager can handle the responsibility it is not my place to interfere. However she would need to be added to thier pick up list. I have all parents keep a list of people autorized for pick up on file here. They need to tell me ahead of time (even just a text or call that day is fine) and the first time I meet someone I check ID at the door. I think texting a picture of the person is a bit extreme, but you have to feel comfortable with your system.
