Not Telling
How is the mother's financial situation ?
I know this sounds terrible, but financial support to the mother might persuade her to help you to get the child back to England.

Thats what you get for sending your kid to a sub-par (probably) Thai school.
The Int. schools have web portals, weekly newsletters, and 7 year olds are certainly not allowed to leave the school grounds with out their parents or approved guardian (who must present a valid ID at the gate). If a child was not picked up, the school should have kept her in the office until a parent was contacted.
Send your kid to a proper school or stop complaining.

Its not as simple as that kilgore. we live in the sticks so the only school available is the local school. failing that my 10 year old would have to rise at 5 a.m. get a bus to the nearest town school 50 km away and then have to go through the return trip. i have seen kids arrive home at 6:30 pm.
what needs to be done is for the schools to have some foresight and thought process when they want or need to close early. the same happens in my kids school. they cancel lessons to attend retirement parties or for school trips. 30 students go on the trips and so do ALL of the teachers. its a free jaunt, so why not. the other 600 students are told not to come to school. its wrong and affects the students' education but hey! mai pen rai.
Is there a compelling reason that you're living in the sticks? IE., one that trumps the educational needs of your kids?
What an excellent point! Any child not attending a first rate international school is doomed to failure. No child growing up in a rural area outside of Bangkok will ever amount to anything, it's been scientifically proven. Not only that, but few of them even survive the experience. What's more, if your child cannot read by age three he/she might as well quit school, and if you can't get him/her into an exclusive pre-kindergarten prep school you have failed as a parent! The most important thing in life is to get your precious little snowflake into the very best school you can or you are just a very bad person.
Surly this must be a "troll post".
