They should at least bring her home but no unfortunately they wouldn't be able to do anything because it's not a written contract and is therefore a case of he said she said.  sorry thats happened i'd be sitting there till they paid me to leave personally Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

NorthernStar   11 #4 Posted September 20, 2009 She has just learned a very important lesson about folk.  I hope it hasn't spoilt her faith in humanity and I'd just like to point out that most people are not selfish and irresponsible, a lot are I agree. But what kind of life would you live if you couldn't do freinds a favour in case they turn out to be just like the scummers that have used and let down the OP's daughter.  I hope she's learned a very important lesson about those folk in particular and it doesn't turn her sour.

EdnaKrabappe   14 #12 Posted September 20, 2009 Perhaps a different tactic of reporting these people to the police for child neglect - leaving them until this afternoon? - might work.
