Four Year Old Abandoned By Daycare Workers
By KGNS News
Day care is a place parents take their children and trust they will be taken care of.
But that's exactly the opposite of what happened to a young boy Wednesday afternoon who attends all star kids day care.
"People who are professionals or paid professionals to watch over kids had a severe lapse in judgment if you can even call it that."
After police responded to a call from a good samaritan who found a four year old boy wandering the streets, they began investigating where he came from. He didn't know the name of his school, but he did give officers some terrifying information.
"He advised officers he was kept inside the bus as punishment for misbehaving."
Police officers canvased several schools including all star kids day care. They said they were not missing any students. The child took the officers to a location on market street where buses for the day care are kept. It was there where the boy told police how he escaped from an emergency window in a bus.
"Basically the child was left unattended in a bus. The child climbed out of a window of the bus, down to the ground, climbed over a six foot fence and then took off walking."
Police then went back to all star day care where according to police the director confessed.
"She had indicated to the investigators that in fact they had left a child inside a bus."
The bus driver and assistant bus driver were charged with abandoning or endangering a child.
An investigation is still on going.
