I feel I was treated unfairly as a father with 50/50 physical legal custody. I don't live in town, called this morning to confirm picking daughter up an hour early for an appointment.

Only for them to tell her to go back to class and tell me to leave the school grounds untill 2:20 and they called a "resource officer" while I was waiting for papers to print.
