I do not mean to make light, Im sure your fears were real.
Given the story you recount, wasnt this something of an over reaction? Your daughter had gone to her friends house.
Are we now so paranoid?

Stuart - do have any kids? I have a feeling that you would not be making that statement if you did - but I might be mistaken.
Let me put it this way, the temp starts to climb beyond 150C on your p-car, you start thinking it will be OK, then you see it goes to 200+C, what do you do? Keep drivining and think that it will come down, down-shift to get more oil pressure or pull over?
Your IP tells you there is a problem but the car seems to be fine. Take action?
Best to error on the side of caution and save your self to cost of an engine re-build (or a life time of regrete over not being cautious with your kid).
