That's very poor form. If I go into a meeting and for example I've got a film crew on the other side of the ground who might need to call or text I politely explain to the meeting attendees the situation and say that I may need to answer a call or send a reply. I'd step out of the room, keep it to a minimum and wouldn't be answering messages from anyone else. It's just unprofessional and rude otherwise.

I'd suggest sending a message to the guy's manager requesting that next time a meeting is arranged could he please ensure it is scheduled for a time when his employee is able to be fully in attendance and that should he have another urgent family issue that needs to be dealt with the meeting should be rearranged. That way the boss can ask his employer 'what family crisis' which will make the idiot aware you know what he was up to.
