WEll I actually had a child call me collect one time because her parents would not let her make the call on their dine. My brothers girl friends name was Kim and they had just left to go to Florida on vacation so when I got a collect call from Kim I thought they must have had problems so I accepted the charges. When I found out who it really was I was NOT happy.
Good luck with your kid. Thanks Cathy "Susan A.
