Hiring Experience - Car Accident

Hired a young girl last weekend, and she'd supposed to start work today. But time passed, she had not shown up. Well, I'd believed this one should be another "flying plane" case.
Suddenly a promoter from the neighboring store came and looked for me.

Girl: XXX cannot come to work today. She wants me to tell you her parents were injured  in a car accident last evening. She needs to visit her parents in the hospital, and will report to work tomorrow. Is it ok?
Me: (Am doubtful, but noded and agreed)

The next day, when the girl turned up I asked why she couldn't come to work yesterday.
Girl: My great uncle was killed in the car accident. So yesterday was the funeral.
Hmmmm....different version. I started to have doubt on this young lass. I'd asked her to produce her identification card so that I could have her particulars in the employees database.
Gosh....she is only 15 and not 18 as said.
Girl: I quit school.
Me: Sorry, we can't take you. Bye.
