A four-year-old boy walked out of a primary school in Liverpool alone after a teacher claimed he had been safely handed over to an approved relative. Evangeline Edwin, who was a teacher at Childwall Church of England Primary School, told her superiors she was "sure" she had left the youngster in the care of his mother despite no one coming to collect him.
A Teacher Regulation Agency (TRA) hearing heard how on November 27, 2019, the boy, known as Pupil A, had been expected to turn up to an after-school sports club at the Woolton Road school. Holly Quirk, presenting officer, told the three-person panel how a coach at the school notified officials the little boy was not at the session, the Liverpool ECHO reports.
A member of the public found Pupil A in their uniform and phoned the school to notify them of the missing pupil's name. The hearing was told that during his 10-minute journey from leaving the school, he managed to cross a series of main roads.
