Just heard about this today although it happened a few weeks ago.
Young adult travelling Uddingston to Glasgow Central with young brother on a Saturday afternoon asks for 1 adult and 1 child return to Glasgow Central. Ticket office issues 1 adult "Kids Go Free" outward and 1 adult "Kids Go Free" return ticket (total two card tickets). Travel without incident to GLC - so far so good.
Young adult then leaves young brother at an activity centre in town and returns from GLC to UDD. Ticket inspector on train states that adult "Kids Go Free" return ticket not valid without child. Young adult is articulate professional person and will have none of this and leaves the train without having to pay more or incur any penalty.
Was the Kids Go Free return ticket valid without the kid?
No railcards were involved here.
A search here failed to produce the answer but that doesn't mean that this question isn't asked every other week and fully answered (I don't seem to have much success with the searches).
