There ya go, I just had to make an impromptu "mummy's taxi" run.
My cargo was neither a prisoner or a detainee, nor, to my knowledge are they flagged by authorities as being a risk for either flight or harm etc.
Mr 17 asked if I would give him a lift to the pick up point for a Bible Camp he is going on (his carer had rang and said she was caught at the other end of the coast and for him to make his own way to the PUP and she would meet him there.)
here's what I had to do.
for LC,
(also in my care atm)
ring neighbour to ensure they were home and ask if they would be ok to "keep an ear out" as LC would be home alone for a bit (maybe an hour)
check LC had phone credit so she could ring neighbour etc if in need,
give LC the "do not go swimming, don't turn anything on/plug anything in etc lecture.
For MC
he was at work, due to come home.
ring him and let him know what was happening
make sure he was ok to get home
make sure he had phone credit ICOE
For BC - the one I was actually transporting...
check he had phone credit (he didn't, so had to organize that)
check he had enough money for 3 days at camp (he didn't he had $20 and a bag of lollies)
check he had money or provisions for condoms (well he is a 17 yr old boy off to camp with other uni students, even if it is bible camp)
(he doesn't, apparently they don't do that kind of thing - I gave him an extra $20 anyway)
check he had the harness and sash and coat for his dog
Then I actually had to take him there, only had to drop him off at the front door, and then drove home. (about an hour round trip)
and that was just to get a kid to a pick up point who is not in need of security etc.....
I'm thinking there's probably a bit more involved in organizing impromptu visits (including supervision) for detainees and prisoners.....
Some people can go their whole lives and never really live for a single minute.
