School did not call Police when toddler went missing

While researching the use of child tracking systems I have come across some mixed reactions about the subject.  Recently I read an interesting debate in which a Teacher was very upset by the idea of parents tracking children in her care.  Whereas I sympathise with her feelings that she is not being trusted by the parents to do her job, unfortunately not all teachers and schools were created equal. In an incident reported this week, a five year old boy ran away from his Kindergarten, then crossed a two lane road and made his way home.  It beggars belief that a school would not call the Police when a toddler in their care goes missing!  The fact that he could even leave the premises without being stopped must be alarming for all parents whose children attend that school. The mother had a subsequent meeting with the public school officials, who agreed that the Police would be called when a child goes missing in future.  Thankfully, this common sense policy is in place before a tragedy occurs. Does your child's nursery or elementary school have a policy for dealing with instances of missing children? The full report can be found at myfox
