Sorry hadn't made it clearer, of course public transport is not ideal just now. Where I am, there's loads of school transport running but there has to be due to rural location. I hadn't made myself clear in that it reminded me of her plan to move lock, stock and barrel closer to her daughters school when it's obviously not a million miles away. In life after covid, I'd be expecting a ( by then) 16 year old to make their own way and for now, I wouldn't risk leaving a child alone in the house which I'm sure is what she did.
