| Findings: The center called to say a 4 year old child went to the bathroom during nap and was seen outside walking across the grass towards a street with a plastic shovel. The principal and police officer saw this child walking from the 8th grade classroom where the officer was presenting a Safety Talk. The officer and principal went after the child and returned him to the school. The child was fine. He was going home with this plastic shovel since he did not have one like this at home. The officer did not write a report. The principal contacted the parent. The bathroom is located down the hallway from the preschool room. A teacher must accompany or at least be in the doorway of the classroom to observe preschool children going to and returning from the bathroom. The aide was substituting for the teacher the day this incident occurred. The child stated to his parent he never had to go to the bathroom but wanted to take the plastic shovel home. He did not get to play with it outside during recess that day and wanted a turn. The aide who was substituting for the teacher did run outside when the alert was given over the intercom. The substitute aide remained in the classroom. | |||
