🚨MUST SEE: This father is upset when his daughter's school administrators refused to release her to him stating that his name isn't on the pickup list. Who do you think was in the wrong here? I personally commend the school for this action. We must keep the kids safe... at all costs.show more

The school administrator was 100% correct here. The real question is why wasn’t the father on the pick up list?

I'm with the school actually. If your not on the pickup list, then you can't pick them up.

The school was in the right. Any random adult with bad intentions can walk up and claim they are a child’s parent. Pretty sure this has happened before.

This is 100% standard policy in every school. Don’t be a lazy piece of shit and do what you are supposed to do and that is take the time to put your name on pick up lists.

Whoever registered his daughter for school and didn’t add his name to the pickup list is in the wrong 😑

Seems like standard care to me. Maybe he is an abusive father and isn’t allowed to pick her up? Either way, if someone tries to pick up my kid without my permission I hope the school does this too.

Anyone who is mad at the school for this is delusional

Hmm. That's kind of iffy. I get how it feels to not be able to pick up your kid, but there's a reason why these policies exist - specifically so that someone can't just pick up your kid and leave with them, including family. Like, parental kidnapping is a real thing. If a parent isn't on the list to pick them up the solution is very simple - call someone on the list and confirm they are allowed to pick them up -- done. I've dated single moms and picked up their kids for them because they're stuck at work. If there is a legal issue happening, and the authorized person is playing games, that's not the school's responsibility to settle that. That's evidence for the courts when that parent requests that they be added to the list. I do not blame the schools for this.

School is right, some dads are pieces of shit. this is good looking out!

Well if you aren't smart enough to put yourself on the list when those are the rules, then it's his own fault.

The fact that he didn’t even try to call her mother tells me he’s not on the list for a reason. Parents who lose custody kidnap their kids all the time and try to take them off the grid

The man is wrong. They should NOT be letting anyone pick them kids up and if he isn’t on the list then he needs to talk to the mother about it

The most common Amber Alert is for this exact situation: A family member who shouldn't have the child does, and then everyone gets alerts on their phones and demands to be vigilant in finding this poor kid... The teacher is doing her job. Dad, you should be glad the teacher is protecting your kid.

I understand the father's frustration but they can't just give children over to people who claim to be parents, hence why the pickup list exists. Even if the child agrees he's the father there could be a legal reason he's not on the list.

you see all these woke ass liberals talking about the school is in the right. STFU with all that this kid obviously knows that her dad. Thanks to all these women that open their legs take the kids away from the dad but can have some tweaker relative or pedophile bf around the kids. Even picking them up or leaving them with strangers just to spite the father.

Keep the kids safe, but this was handled poorly!! Doing this infront of the child demonizes the father to the child. Not ok.

Work around Children 👋 1000% admin is in the right. Father may not have custody, could be a danger to the child, or could be a total stranger and not even be related. Could be an error, but if a parent doesn’t see how doing this is the right choice, they’re not a good parent.

The school is liable for releasing that child to anyone NOT on the list. She has no idea who this man is or what his motives may be. Could be a contentious custodial situation, you don't know, so better to err on the side of caution and refuse the child to him until she can contact the Mom and find out what's going on.

Its school policy and they enforce court orders. He's not the list, Mom has the kid full time probably.

This is regular protocol. I totally get the teacher. Too much fucked up shit happening. But I get the frustration of the father.

The school has a list of parents who pick up the children. That father is not on the list. What’s the problem?

"Who do you think was in the wrong here?" The father. If he really cared about the child, he would have made sure he followed the simple requirements of the school.

Parents gotta understand those list are made for the child’s safety and the reputation of the school.. if that teacher let the child go just cause he claimed to be the “father “ and the child comes up missing the teacher would be caught up in drama and potentially lose her job

The parent that didn’t add him! The school did the right thing

The vast majority of child abductions are from parents who do not have legal custody.

Pretty sure a simple phone call to the main person on the pick up list or even asking the child ‘do you know this man’ would have cleared it up.

While there may be mistakes, the pick up list serves a purpose. It protects children from predators and parents that are a custody flight risk. It sucks if you are the mistake, but it serves a good purpose. This school did nothing wrong.

School administrators are correct. BITTER BABY MOMMA’s who refuse to put REAL DAD on the list are WRONG! Now corrupt police officers whom refuse to enforce Texas Penal Code 25.03 (felony parental interference) and follow court orders are DOUBLE WRONG!

I wasn’t able to pick up my granddaughter because I wasn’t on the list. I live out of state so my daughter never added me. I wasn’t the least bit upset. I’m on the list now but I’m thankful to the school for protecting my granddaughter.

I took my daughter to the bus stop & she wanted to get out. I stayed in the car & talked to her until the bus came. And someone came out of their house & questioned whether I knew her. I didn't get mad, I actually liked that there were people in the neighborhood looking out.

It’s a bad situation. As a parent I want my daughter’s teachers to take her safety this seriously. Good on them. But at the same time, if they withheld my daughter from me, I’d go nuclear. Nobody is in the wrong here. It is what it is.

If you want schools to protect your kids don’t complain when they do. There’s probably a reason he’s not on the list

The pick up list is there for a reason. If he isn't on the paperwork as one of the parents and not on the pickup list. It's a no

Depends, if its 50/50 legal custody he should be listed as a parent/guardian when she was registered for school. If that is the case then the school is wrong. If it isnt 50/50 legal custody then he needs to be on a list and the school did the right thing.

The question is why did the child's mother leave him off the list? The school is right for not releasing the child.
