Local story:

A six year old was dropped off at his school (late) by his mother. Nobody in the school watched the kid and he soon left the office to go to his kindergarten classroom. His classmates weren't there (they were in the auditorium attending an assembly) so the kid left, walked out of the school (unchallenged and unnoticed) and started to walk home. He got lost and ended up on Sunrise Highway (a major thoroughfare) until he was noticed by someone driving by.

As terrible as that is (school officials really fell down on that) I find it just as disturbing that the kid voluntarily got into the car of the (unknown) passerby (who luckily was a decent person).

Whatever happened to parents teaching their kids not to get into a stranger's car??
