[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been at Stanton Park a few times since school started, and I have been pretty appalled by the lack of supervision of the kids in Peabody's aftercare. I thought parents would want to know. There are easily 40 Peabody children on the playground (they all arrive in groups which is how I know) and very few adults supervising. The adults don't see a lot of stuff (I witnessed several incidents today with no adult in sight) and don't seem to even know which kids they are supposed to be watching. I watched them scold a kid today who isn't even in aftercare at Peabody (and who didn't do anything wrong). It is incredibly chaotic, and with so little supervision, a child could easily get hurt (a kid got hit by another kid today, a kid was chasing another kid with a stick - nobody noticed) or wander away. And before anyone jumps on me as being a toddler parent, I have older kids. But yes, several toddlers got mowed down.

This is a public park that they're using for private aftercare. I am all for older kids getting to use the playground. But the least they could do is hire enough staff to adequately watch the kids. [/quote]

This has been going on for 10+ years. [/quote]

Yes it has.  I've seen worse than what OP describes, including 3 year-olds with bloody noses (from falling off the sea-saw) left to fend for themselves. Parents of Peabody kids in aftercare really ought to organize to complain.  [/quote]
