School worker flabbergasted as two strangers turn up to collect girl - both claiming to be her dad

A worker at a school was left flabbergasted after two men arrived to pick up a child - both claiming to be her dad.

The front office worker says it happened on a random afternoon while all children were being collected.

Taking to video-streaming service TikTok, Sheena - who posts under the username @sheena_20200 - explained the drama.

The video has since racked up more than 12 million views.

She told how two men were both left surprised as they each claimed to be one girl's father, Mirror UK reports.

She said: "Right before dismissal, we had a dad come in and want to check out his child. That's ok, that's normal. So, I told them to hang on a second because the secretary wasn't up there.

"Another dad walks in and he wants to check out his child as well, so [the secretary] came back and she got the child's name.

"Got the child's name, and it was the same child's name. She was like, 'We got two kids in the school?'"

However, it appeared that the two men were both at the school to pick up the same child, and were understandably confused when they were confronted with the situation.

The secretary told one man: "This is the same child that he just checked out."

The TikToker added: "And so, they both look at each other and dad was like, 'Why are you checking my child out? Who are you?'

"And he was like, 'Who are you?'

The other responded: "What do you mean? I'm her dad."

Sheena explained: "Me and the secretary look at each other and I thought I gotta get the principal right now because at this point we need the principal, we need someone to call the school officer, what is really going on here?

"So, the principal comes to the front and she's like, 'What's going on?'

"Well I'm here to check out my daughter," one said.

"Well, I'm here to check out my daughter too, I don't even know who he is," the other added.

"The principal is like, 'Let me get mum on the phone to come up here to see what's going on'."

Later, in a much-anticipated update, Sheena explained that the mother of the child admitted that the two didn't know about each other.

One user wrote: "After skimming through a pt2 & 3. We still don’t know who the dad is to save everyone time."

Sheena replied: "How the hell ima know who the daddy is. The mama don’t even know."

"I can't wait to hear what mom gotta say!" Another wrote.

A different user exclaimed: "Y'all front office always have the tea."
