school lets autistic child out of school grounds

by libbylincolnComment Published at 01:5201:524 comments4 comments44 Visits44 VisitsReport

my son today while at school during lunch time spotted his father from afar coming from the school fater piking up his sister from kinda and instead of the techers watching him he walked out of the school grounds and followd dad home ,scott my husband never new until 2 streets away from home he heard a call of " dad " behind him as as he turned he noticed austin .he brought him home and i went to the school who was looking from him nd made excuses saying that the teacher was having an exchange with another and left him alone for only a few minutes where we live he could ahve gotten run over even.

they blamed my husband for being within eye sight not the fact they were not watching him.

my son is almost 8 has less seach thn my 2 year old and isent toilet trained he should ave a carer,they have my oldest there they could have called to watch his brothe during the teacher exchange.

we even cancelled the move from housing cause we trusted the school what a mistake

iam so angry i called the department .

has anyone else have this happen to them ?

the teachers new they did wrong cause when they saw  me coming they all ran for it and the principal told me that she was concerned about another child cause they treid to run away and a witness that lives across from the school saw the principal had her back turned to my son  so she lied to my face .

they said they dont have the facilities to just watch my son but then why not say so...

he is suppose to have a carer cosidering he isent fully toilet trained and still has accidents in his pants .

he also takes heat fits ....they are not listenign to us and make us feel like they know beter.then i told them also what if my husband did not see him and was going somewhere and got on a bus or a taxi or a friend car and went out and austin tried to go home and there was no one there then what or if he ot lost he cant ask for help.or what if he folowed another man that loked like his father since hubby dressed all in black with always wearing wrestling tops and hat allot of men wear that in my area austin could have folowed a total stranger...

or even while crosing the road he could ahve gotten run over specially in the area we are in with crazy cars speeding with teenage drivers .

what is this world coming to .??????

Re: school lets autistic child out of school grounds

hi darl i was just reading ur things and all i could think was OMG that is so bad does Austin go to main stream or a special school? bc the reason i asked is that my son kyle does them type of things and @ the specail school where he is goin next yr they have these huge gates that are like ppol ones and there is no way no how that ANY of the kids can get out of there. i so hope that it NEVER happends again the school wants to wake up to them selves and see that Austin is a kid that can not be left alone even for a second none of them seem to understand that unless they have been in the spot where they have an autistic child or one with another additional needs

i hope that he is ok and that u can get it sorted out so that he can be safe

cheers and chins up 2 all

kylie..

I am so glad that the best case scenario happened and Austin is OK. It is a bit like anything really, they must wait for a tragedy before anything is done. Hope you have success in getting him his own carer.
