Parent wanting me to release a child to someone they don't know?

[mamaof4]

For arguments sake-- my dh was out of town, I had a kidney obstruction and was in the hospital hopped up on drugs, and in a pinch I had to have my neighbor pick up my kids. It was not pre-arranged, but the kids knew the woman very well- and she was one of the 'contacts'. Is this something that would cause issues?

I am assuming that you called the neighbour to have him/her pick up your kids...were you not able to give a quick call to the daycare provider as well? Obviously, if there is not parent able to even call in the case of an emergency, then we would have to allow one of the authorized contacts to pick them up. Thinking about this has made me want to add a section to that authorization section saying that if both parents are unable to call for reasons such as hospitalization, I am allowed to release to the contacts without prior arrangement from the parent...hmmmm...
