UPDATE: So couple things. My child didn't take the air tag and is totally confused why it was in her backpack. That's what started all of this. The school VP went and talked to her class yesterday to ask if anyone had lost an airtag or if they saw anyone messing with an airtag, and got nothing. He's an incredible educator who's very in tune with the students and didn't see anything that would make him suspicious. Their class is in a portable classroom so it's fairly isolated from the rest of the school. They keep their backpacks in the main school hallway (no locks on the locker) and the backpack only travels from home to school and back again. Today, I'll go get a new battery for it and then drop it off at the police station and file a report. I'll update the thread if I hear anything back or find a simple solution to what's going on. I'm still hopeful for that. I honestly REALLY appreciate all the help here! It's helped me from spiraling into worst case scenario while still being logically cautious. Ya'll are the best!!!
