My wife runs a christian preschool and runs into this occasionally, Parent A has a custody order limiting Parent B. But unless the school has the court order on file, or the church in this application. The church, school or police can do nothing to prevent a Parent from taking the child, A restraining order would be kept on file by the police, but in reality those are rare. We have seen this come up in church a couple of times and it is very dificult. This goes beyond software, since the data would be entered before a custody order is in place or there is another problem. Parent A says that Parent B can not take the child but there is no court order. Software will not help you in this situation. Church Policy must demand that a child will not be kept from a Parent unless the appropriate court records are kept on file. Now, the real scarey situation of a person walking into a nursery and asking for "tommy" but no one really knows if tommy belongs to the person reqesting the child and there is no way to varify if the child belongs to the person saying they are a parent or relative. That is a real situation that has happened in churches and daycare centers. Usually ones close to a highway or interstate, that way the abductor has a quick way to escape with the child. That is a situaion that software and a quality check in system can help with.

It bears repeating often. The familial threat is very sneaky indeed, but without diligent workers, no system is bullet-proof. Systems like Kidzpro are awesome security facilitators and catalysts of awareness. If we love Jesus, we must care for His sheep. Great word, Jim. It bears repeating often.
