How was OP supposed to know mom was sleeping and not dead in a ditch somewhere??? Also how does a sleeping person pick up the phone, linger on the line for 30 seconds, and then hang up???

You’re taking this real personal but if I don’t show up to grab my kids I hope to hell they call the police because something is *wrong*. CPS isn’t going to get involved over one isolated incident, calling the police is the right move.

My thoughts as well because i would also have to be dead or dying to not show up for my kids. That's what had me worried because we live in a rural area with several dead zones. 

And for the record, I did ask about medical conditions and things like that. I felt that if anything further the mom would have supplied it. So I don't really feel bad about not being given information and then having to work with what I had. 

And thank you for your support and kind words. I really did intend any malice for her mom, I was just worried.
