No they cannot and if they try you can take them to court and easily win the case. Unless, of course, someone had seen you having a day or night on the town when you had claimed your child was ill.

huh 24 hrs is 3 8 hr work days, they can ask you to prove that you cared for a sick child, it sounds like the only reason for an excused absebce is to care for a sick child
