[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]6 is old enough to know you don't walk away from where you are supposed to be. I'd have safety questions as to how long before someone noticed, what is the protocol once someone is noticed, etc., but the kid walking away is on him. He would not be a happy camper at my house. (& my kid has done this - he wanted to go home, so he thought maybe he'd try - he didn't get far & the school reacted appropriately. His "escape" was entirely of his own doing.)[/quote]

I agree someone should have noticed sooner but I could see how it could happen. It appears the kid took off while transitioning outside. If he was really in the bathroom (either with permission or hiding), I can see how it would take a little while for the teacher to notice he wasn't there. Especially if it wasn't the same teacher monitoring recess. It isn't like they're constantly taking attendance outside, so if you don't see a kid leave you will probably assume they're all there.

I hope the parents are talking to their child about his responsibility in this, which is definitely not apparent from the video. [/quote]
