My Toddler Left The School Premise Without Supervision by Wyntah: 3:57am On Feb 27, 2016
Today I got the shocker of my life. i am still in shock, more worried than angry. My son who can make a complete sentence with three words walked out of a school with fence, big gate, two attending teachers, two security personnels and a host of other teaching and non teaching staff only to be picked up by a bike man on a busy road. i tried talking to the people responsible and they seem to be making excuses for their inadequacies. pls parent if u wer me what would you do to prevent this from happening again. we are very protective as we are yet to be blessed with more children. pls i would appreciate geniune advise from parents. thank you in advance.

Poster if that was my son he will never go back to that school


I don't joke with my kids affairs, if you are paying them to do their job and they failed like that they should have a very serious reason, what if

Anything happened to your baby, please find him another school immediately.

This happened to my youngest brother when he was just 4 years old. I still remember the panic when we were looking for him cos he left his school bag. My parents saw him on his way home.

it was one of those really big schools. If I remember correctly, my folks got their lawyer to write to the school and ensure they take up extra security measures and some other stuff.

I think you need to evaluate the school and see if it's worth it for your kid to continue in the school. They may be generally lax about such important things. Those days, kidnapping and stuff were not so rampant. If that had happened recently, I am sure my folks would have reacted differently.

Aunty, its not mandatory you must respond to every comment that doesnt match your agenda.

A real parent would not consider posting on nairaland more important than your child's privacy.

Your alledged incident happened today you said, and your first thought was to run here and start posting? You are not serious.

Be all that as it may, kindly face your supporters on the thread and ignore my posts, thanks.

I sincerely understand how you feel about the incident. However, your child is showing signs of development and growth, as such, he wants to explore his environment. Approach the school authority to review her security measures to fallstall a repeat in the future.

its a two way thing, it is either the SCH management is sorry or not. If dey are, u can leave him in d school, if dey are not, take him away from d sch. It is wrong because dre should be a teacher on duty, bt my sister, children can b funny, even at home, dey still make u marvel at dre moves nd wat dey do. If u take it too hard on d sch nd d teacher is seriously queried, he or she MAY take it on d child. So just talk gently to the teacher and pray always for ur child safety. I once had a similar, my daughter remained in d sch

If na me
That's gonna be the last time in the school
But you not me
So I dunno

If something had happened all they will say is sorry abi
I laugh

Yes kids will want to explore but not when the school gate is watched over and closed

Yes teacher might be busy that's why there's gate and security officers
Oh you mean the gates are usually just flung opened like that?
Very interesting

I think both the school and the kids will benefit from this.

Firstly, the school needs to sensitize your kid and other kids on the need to cooperate with the security measures put in place to ensure their safety. I think a little embarrassing of your kid by bringing him out at the assembly and making him feel a little guilty plus painting him and others a little picture of what could have been will do the trick.


Then the school needs to up its security measures and the sense of responsibility of the teachers. It will end well, security is every stakeholder's responsibility. You sef need to advise your ward accordingly...


"Sisi, don't talk to strangers, always hold your sister's hands, look well before you cross, don't leave the school gate until I come for, etc" my mom was like a broken radio at a point but I heard her... May God bless you and yours.
Re: My Toddler Left The School Premise Without Supervision by byvan03: 8:30am On Feb 27, 2016
Report to the authority and ruffle them a little, they can't take it out on your child if you clear them on the consequences of such. I can't finish narrating what I have seen in toddler schooling. I have picked another''s child sneaking past the gate all by himself. The security didn't notice but I saw the child leave and they weren't looking. I had to grab him and carry him back, then warned them to please mind these kids.


You need to raise some dust, it straightens them up. Thank God for the decent bike man. I might not transfer the child due to fear of the unknown, am not really sure of what to do. In that case I will let the dad decide.

He eventually left but not due to that incidence, we moved. They treated him differently but in a positive way, they paid special attention to him. The school is one of the big schools so they knew what that kind of bad press could do to their reputation. Since they knew we were ready to go all the way to protect the kids, they sat up.

I would suggest that you continue to follow up with calls, let them know that you will not take the rubbish of it repeating itself. If you are not convinced that they are ready to take security seriously, then you should consider taking your kid out of there. Ensure you write to them. It might not be a proper law firm or lawyer but on a legal letter head and state that they should not unfairly discriminate against your son.

You should be more angry than worried
worry wont change anything and will only give you sleepless nights.
Anger will however propel you into action
Personally I don't think I will withdraw my child immediately, I will however make sure that I make enough noise and fuss to ensure that they tighten up so that other kids are not put at risk.
If after a few weeks, I see that thinks have not changed, then I will move my child.
Re: My Toddler Left The School Premise Without Supervision by lovinam: 11:16pm On Feb 27, 2016
I'm sure it must have happened during pick up time. I'm extra vigilant when I go to pick my children from school. Some just leave the class and join the ones going home meanwhile the saff on duty might not really notice because she is attending to parents. Iff this happend outside school runs time then I will consider withdrawing the child.

You deserve a hot slap for this rubbish. Sensitise and shame a child that can barely communicate? You don't sound mentally stable.

Wyntah, you have got good advice from Byvan and Tearoses.

Your villiage is obviously far dude and you clearly don't know children. Try bringing out a child that poops on his body out in a class of his peer and ask the class to sing for him...baby won't be doing it in a long time again. So, Mr. Mentally deranged, try not to quote me in your subsequent posts. Ara ilu jijin.

Don't worry about my kids, kiddo pls concentrate on yours. The day you start giving your kids potty training , acts of responsibility is at the fore for them even though they couldn't talk yet. There is reward for compliance and otherwise.The word shame might be too hash but the act is the same. Bring him out to show him as example and sweetie won't do it again. Its my opinion, simply ignore if it doesn't sit well with u.
Re: My Toddler Left The School Premise Without Supervision by ifyalways(f): 8:37am On Feb 28, 2016
One thing is sure : my son is not going back to that school. I will NEVER get over the incident and would live in perpetual fear of re-occurrence.

No second chance with my boys, sorry. I'll make the school give me a FULL refund and shop for another school.

My opinion, not up for debates or validation please.

My friend, you are a foool. That school deserves all the blame. It is their responsibility to ensure no kid wonders off the premises, in a busy neighbourhood no less. So, the school is negligent and careless and the child gets punished for it? What would you ediot have done if this were your child and he were kidnapped by that bike man or some other unscrupulous person and the school is giving you stories? Your stewpidity takes a lot of energy to address.

You shouldn't be breeding. You're not fit for it. You should be tied to a tree in a thick forest and forgotten.

OP are you saying the school has no gate or what?

Your kid is not safe in that school abeg.

If the teacher/minder on duty didn't see the kid leave, then the security personnel should've, pick up time is even when security should be very tighter.
