A minute of inattention is enough for a disaster to occur. Indeed, cases related to early childhood can be dramatic and sometimes sordid. Fortunately, this Tuesday, January 17, the escape of three children from a nursery school ended well. The three toddlers, just 4 years old, left kindergarten in the middle of the day before being found, safe and sound, one kilometer from their establishment.
This case took place in the 15th arrondissement of Paris, in an area where the roads are very busy with in particular an entrance to the ring road of the capital nearby.
Three days after the events, parents of students, City departments and members of the school management met in the establishment where the events took place to take stock of this unusual situation. Two hours of meetings have passed in order to prevent such a malfunction from happening again.
