US mum and daughter 'questioned over different surnames'

What the everloving F?
So I work in admitting at our local hospital. We get a LOT of people, all the time, who either don't share names with their children or who are married but don't take the partner's last name.
And "need a note from the other parent"? WTF is this, pre-school?
Un-freakin'-real!

I actually maybe get the note from the other parent to take a person out of the country, but she was returning to the US, so it's kind of late for that. But even if human-trafficking concerns were what prompted the officer, while the lack of a common surname could play a role in an investigation, for the officer to suggest that she should take her husband's name is ludicrous.
Also, if human-trafficking is the concern, why not just require a person to include any child's name and passport number in the parent's passport and the parents' names and passport numbers in the child's passport so that they could cross-reference one another. That would be the logical solution.
Women in Quebec are required by law to keep their maiden names when they get married.....since the early 80's
Look it up.....

Children should take their mother's last name "I've always said"
There are plenty of witnesses to prove who your mother is....but barring a dna test, there is only one person's word as to who is the father.........

When one of my wife or I crosses the border with our son without the other parent, we always carry a letter from the other one. I believe the border guards are supposed to be eyeing anything that could be be a possible abduction. Different last name is certainly a flag. They don't always check for the note and sometimes its the Canadian guys that do it sometimes the American guys.
Actually, this is pretty much what is required when travelling with 1 parent and is nothing new. Likely all to do about nothing. Recently, a co-worker sent her 17 year old with 2 other adults and their child to a dance competition in the US and she had to ensure that there was a letter signed by both her and her hubby that it was ok that her son was travelling with someone else. She has gone to Disneyland with her son and had a letter from her hubby to state that all was well too. So it's nothing new. Don't know what all the fuss is about.
