[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP has presented a situation in which she was not there and the adult in charge failed to adequately supervise her child.  Whether or not she should have stayed is really a secondary issue.  The problem that needs to be dealt with is the lack of responsibility (or sheer stupidity) demonstrated by this employee.  Why are you blaming OP instead?  Does it make you feel that this couldn't happen to your child?[/quote]

Again, this is not a daycare or babysitting facility. If the class ended early, there would be no obligation for the teacher to stay with the child. [/quote]

Correct, but if they do not have a POLICY stating that the parents cannot leave the premisis, they are under obligation to make sure the child does not roam out onto the street.  Also, they are under obligation, even if the class ends early, not to release the children a SECOND earlier than the stated end time of the class, especially if there is no POLICY that the parent be on premisis.

This is basic stuff people.  I'm a Sunday school teacher at a rinky-dinky church and even we do not allow a child to step foot out of the classroom until we match the child up with the parent that dropped them off via a numbering system.  Even in a small church were everyone knows everyone, kids are not allowed to wander off-especially the pre-schoolers.  for any organization, to not take the utmost caution with children is irresponsible and opening themselves up to extreme risk.

If I were the OP, I would have had a hard time not going completely ballistic.  I would not direct my fury at the teachers, but would have reamed the "adult in charge" and the director.[/quote]
