Advice please
So me and my ex broke up when our daughter was 2 (almost 6 now). He’s always been hot and miss with visitation and always says he’s coming when we already have plans. He messaged to day saying he wanted to come during the week. I said fine but it would have to be after 3 as she’s at school. He said ‘well I just pick her up early and take her out’. I said that he can’t due to a few arguments in the past where he’s said he would just pick her up and take her home with him without me knowing.
I’m worried that one day her really will just try and pick her up and take her. I know he has parental rights since he’s on the birth certificate but surly he can’t just pick her up and take her. He’s not listed on the school system anywhere as we were broken up when she started there an he lives 2 hours away so there was no point putting him down on anything. The teachers have never even see him once since she started 3 years ago. If he tried would they ring me first? Because he’s said it a few times now and it’s making me paranoid. If they ring and I say no will they keep her at school or still let him take her?
Theres no court order yet. But our daughter gets really upset around him because she hardly knows him due to him being so inconsistent in her life. Only wanting to see her when it suits him

I would call the school and ask. Doesn’t need to be specific but a “hi just want to confirm what the school’s release policy is for students and what procedure looks like for pickup from unapproved visitors?”
It’s a huge safety concern to release students to adults not on the pre approved list so I would assume they would call you if he tried to pick her up early.
