Boy, 6, goes home alone
9:14am Wednesday 23rd January 2008
Comments (145) Have your say »
A SIX-YEAR-OLD boy walked out of school unnoticed and travelled more than a mile on his own to get home.
Dylan Lueshing got past the gates during his break time at Alexandra Infant School, Kent House Road, Beckenham, at 11am last Thursday (January 17).
He then walked to Penge High Street and boarded a bus back to his home in Robenia Close, Anerley - more than a mile away.
Dylan then knocked on the door to get in, much to the surprise of his aunt Sherise Blackman.
Now his mother, psychology student Seanne Lueshing, is refusing to send Dylan back to the school and is furious he was allowed to walk out of the gates.
The 25-year-old single mum said: "I am mortified. I don't feel safe. I'm so scared about what could have happened to my son. He could have been kidnapped.
"If the children can get out that easily, then who can get in?
"Anything could have happened to him. It is a busy high street."
She added: "They sent me a letter, taking no liability for it, as they believe the gate can't be opened by children, but he didn't walk through it.
"They are trying to put the blame on a six-year-old.
"He was actually very sensible for coming straight home."
Dylan, who shares time between living with his grandmother, Lorna Lueshing, in Anerley and his mum in Tooting, had to cross Penge High Street to catch the 358 bus, which he and his mother use regularly.
He arrived at home at 11.25am.
Miss Lueshing says Dylan was allowed onto the bus as he stood next to a woman to make it look as though he was travelling with somebody.
The school did not notice his absence until a man told supervisors he had seen a pupil in Alexandra uniform walking in Penge.
After the incident, the school claimed Dylan had been engaging in anti-social behaviour, and in a letter to his family, said he was prone to "over-reacting to situations" and sometimes became "withdrawn".
The day after the incident, on the prompting of the school, Dylan's grandmother had a visit from social services officers, asking if she was aware of him having any emotional problems.
Miss Lueshing said: "They have never brought up any anti-social behaviour issues before, and if they had all these issues, then why wasn't he being watched more closely?
"It is really important other parents are made aware of this. I can't send my son back to that school.
"Nobody got in touch with us. They said they were trying to call, but I had no messages on my phone, and my sister got through to me straight away."
A school spokesman said: "We are investigating this incident fully, including the reasons why the child left the school, as well as undertaking a thorough review of all our security procedures."

25 year-old single mother studying psychology with a deviant child who is disruptive at school and shares time living with his grandmother.
In other words, an unemployed scrounger who cannot run her life properly and has to rely on her mother to look after her offspring while she studies a useless subject (probably funded by the taxpayer) which will get her nowhere but keeps the benefit inspector off her back.
In short, another dysfunctional family living off the system at the expense of the taxpayer.

Let people have their say without digging them out them maybe we can get a normal discussion going on.

I have posted twice my message on line and it appears but then is taken off line. Basically, I am very fed up with scrounging immigrants who are brainless and do not put anything good into the system here - it's all take, take, take. Basically London is a charity for the poor.
The school is in the wrong and typically plays the poor man and not take responsibility for their error, which is very bad. If the child had been taken by a perve then it would be taken very seriously.
Have a good day!

She may be a single parent but that's not her thought, he's dad could have just left.
Happy children don't run away from school. Alexandra Infants is a great school. What was a child who lives in Tooting doing going to a school in Beckenham? He must spend a lot of time with his grandmother. So glad his mother found time for the press. I was a single mother who gave up the chance of university to continue earning a living so I would be able to provide for my very much wanted and loved daughter. As for Lady Muck of the Manor, has she never heard of contraception? Life is what you make it - stop blaming everyone else.
