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behaviour, and in a letter to his family, said he was prone to "over-reacting to situations" and sometimes became "withdrawn".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.

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!

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.

There are always exceptions to a rule and I admire your courage. However, a university degree does not guarantee employment - in fact often the reverse. There are loads of jobs you can do without having to have a degree. On the one hand you say you cannot work because you need to look after your husband and on the other you say you are studying in order to gain employment. Which is it to be?

gy so whilst studying criminology i think i would notice if my child was a deviant. Dylan is a very loved well mannered boy and so what if im a single mother i would rather that than being in an unhappy relationship around my son for him to witness and therefore grow up to be another disrespectable man like many out there. and my mum dosent mind helping seems some dont have that support. An for the parent which said alexandra is a good school yes so did i think that thats why i sent my son there in the first place. and thats why i want all people to be aware before sending thier child to that school. which happens to be in Beckenham where i lived before starting my degree, i moved to Tooting as it was easier to comute to my chosen university Roehampton for the nosy person that whats to know why i live in Tooting! some ppl are obviously bored sorry you got so much time to waste.

I know that i am not guaranteed a job and indeed it may well be that his health deteriorates to the extent that he does need 24/7 care. My method of study is with the Open University which is via distance learning which means my learning is done at home most of the time.

People on here haven't bothered reading the story properly to notice that it's not about your life but about how your little boy left school on he's own during school hours when he should have been being watched by teachers or gates should have been locked.
thanks to all those that noticed the seriousness of this incident which was the whole point of the story not publicity or my social life or my parenting situation. Yes i am a university undergraduate not on BENEFITS ACTUALLY working part-time whilst studying and any loans given by the goverment i pay back when im working full time earning over 20k which i plan to be next year. i study criminology/psycholo
gy so whilst studying criminology i think i would notice if my child was a deviant. Dylan is a very loved well mannered boy and so what if im a single mother i would rather that than being in an unhappy relationship around my son for him to witness and therefore grow up to be another disrespectable man like many out there. and my mum dosent mind helping seems some dont have that support. An for the parent which said alexandra is a good school yes so did i think that thats why i sent my son there in the first place. and thats why i want all people to be aware before sending thier child to that school. which happens to be in Beckenham where i lived before starting my degree, i moved to Tooting as it was easier to comute to my chosen university Roehampton for the nosy person that whats to know why i live in Tooting! some ppl are obviously bored sorry you got so much time to waste.
Good luck to you and your little boy.

My little boy is 4 and half and I don't think he would do something like that but who am i to say, anything could happen. As if he's mum is not going through enough, thinking about what could of happened she has to come on here and read insultive comments. People have to realise that he was at school and it is not he's mum's thought.
If the gate was open, why was this the only child who decided to 'do a runner'. Clearly has not been imbued with a sense of self responsibility - seems to me he is growing to be somewhat 'disrespectable' himself. The school will now inevitably have to allocate more of its meagre budget to additional security measures which will be at the expense of providing resouces to the children whislt this budding 'Tom Tom' can go off and ruin the reputatin of another school. Well done family and New Shopper !!

His mother is more interested in her studies than the child she gave birth to.
The boy is obviously rebelling against his unhappy and unsettled homelife where he is moved from pillar to post.
This poor boy is confused.
My advice to the mother: study more on your son than on your psychology degree.
Psychology begins at home.

That includes the mother - wake up and stop making excuses. See the signs of what is to come before you regret it.
What is more important, the son you gave life to or your degree?
Be happy with your lot. You made a commitment when you created him. Give your time to him, nurture him and when you have done that, go and do your degree.

The clues are all there. 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.

As for the school..what were the teachers on the playground doing at the time that they haven't noticed that??!!

So you have been at "uni" for five minutes and think you are an expert in child psychology. You make me want to weep. Your headline stunt has dragged the name of a good school through the mire.

Forget all the time wasters and the idiots who feel qualified to comment on your lifestyle when they do not even know you!
Concentrate on your life and family! It WAS a disgraceful thing to happen and the school should be taking the blame.

I really don't like the fact that this parent is blaming the school alone. Her son wilfully climbed over the fence to go home when he knew that it was not allowed. Alexandra infants is a safe and happy school and I don't think this incident should paint it in a bad light.quote

Who do you think you are to generalise the way you do? I am a single parent, through no choice of my own. I have worked full time for twenty one years and actually had a full time and part time job for fourteen years, raising my child single handely at the same time.
Whilst holding down two jobs and raising my child, I also completed a four year, part time law degree. My child is respectable, polite and educated.
I have also never claimed benefits.

At 6, he should know not to walk out of school - my brother walked home from school when he was 7 (it wasn't a bus journey away). My mum did complain to the school, but he also got a smack to remind him not to do that again.
And what about all the passers-by as he walked along the High Street? Says a lot for the lack of community spirit. Did nobody think to ask him what he was doing?
