Thanks for some good points Brigit, perhaps your comments with shed some light on the subject for all those who wonder how this can happen. I understand that these things can and will happen. Nothing can be done to make sure this never happens again.
Brigit said it very well. This child will now likely have an escort non-stop. Thus, creating less freedom for the student and more money spent on staffing needs for the taxpayers. Nobody should complain though--remember this is a child's safety and if schools are going to be blamed.......
That poor kid, I am so happy he was found. On the flip side, I would be VERY angry at the school if he were my child!
