A diary when they come back is an excellent idea - always check for prior bruising or unexplained bumps etc and make sure you get parent to sign to be clear it didn't happen at your house!

Poor kids

Good job you were on the ball - it's really hard trying to tell someone they can't pick up a child isn't it

Thank goodness you have an explanation for all that has happened. What a horrible experience for mum and kids, hope things get better for them and then you won't be so worried.
