3-year-old boy leaves school alone and mother finds him in the middle of the street in MG; look

A three-year-old boy left the Maria Floripes Alves Municipal School of Early Childhood Education alone, in Uberlândia (MG), last Wednesday (18).

Security camera footage recorded the child walking alone through streets in the region until she was found by her mother, who was driving a car. She was on her way to school to pick up the child at her usual departure time.

“He was already a long way from school when I went to pick him up. [na escola]”, I told CNN Jucilene, the child’s mother. “He had already crossed about half a block.”

After finding her son, Jucilene returned to the school to ask for clarification about what had happened so that the child could be released without the supervision of a guardian.

According to her, no school employee knew how the child had left school. “No one even noticed he had left. The teacher didn’t even miss him,” she said.

One of the justifications presented by the school to Jucilene was that there is another student with the same name as her son in the class, but with a different surname. The school reportedly said that when the name was called, the two students came and one of the children passed by without anyone seeing them.

The mother informed that she contacted the Uberlândia Department of Education and also registered a police report. Since the incident, the child has not returned to school in the city in the interior of Minas Gerais, around 540 kilometers from Belo Horizonte.

In a statement, the secretariat said that it ordered the opening of an investigation “to thoroughly investigate the circumstances and due responsibilities”.
