Had you ever considered the note from Julie's mother was a fake?

I hadn't but it makes perfect sense!!

I didn't - but it definitely makes sense after revisiting the specifics and how it brought Julie and Robie together on that bus

No. Quite an intricate plan!

I didn't think that it was logical that the school would pass on a message to a foster child from their parents so it did sound fake to me.

>5 EadieB: No way should any school be passing on a message from a parent to a child in care. In many cases parents don't even know where the child is in care. Any contact, if agreed, should be arranged through the social worker. In many cases if contact is allowed that is only supervised contact depending on the context for taking a child into care.

I was so incensed about the message being passed on by the school that I didn't consider the message was a fake! If it was not delivered by the mother EVEN MORE reason why the message should not have been passed on. Not to dwell on a point too much (okay that horse has already bolted!) but the school has failed in it's safeguarding duty. Heads should roll!

I had no reason to doubt this before we found out about it; we weren't aware before this that the note was not handwritten.
