Question about ear piercing

You do need to get written permission from your FD's mother before she can get her ears peirced. However, since she is MIA I would talk to the SW about it. B's mom is often MIA,and there have been a lot of times when B has wanted to do something like play a sport, go to summer camp.... all things that require written parent permission. The SW in our case feels very strongly that B should not miss out on being a kid just because mom isn't around to give permission.She is the one that usualy signs the permission forms.In fact at the last court hearing the judge gave her power to sign everything including permission for medical treatment without asking mom beforehand.Maybe your SW has similar "power" due to your FD's mom being MIA. It wouldn't hurt to ask your SW about the ear piercing, the worse she could say is "no".
