2. i have taken these actions because i dont know mandy and she could be takeing sue-lyn without parents permission

Description and Message:

all the above sounds about right, I'd also ask other staff member on duty if they know 'mandy' and if she's pick up or dropped off the child before, and also have the other staff member keep a eye on the child (if not stay near them) as you don't know what type of person this is or if they are there for other reasons.

If she's not on the paper work and you do get hold of the parents and they say it's ok I'd still take her id and copy it for the records in case she ever need to put the child up again, and next time the parents are in have them ok her as a person that can pick up the child.
