Angelica Vasquez, a Brooklyn mother, expressed her outrage after discovering her 5-year-old daughter was left unsupervised in the schoolyard of PS 250 on the first day of school. "A pedestrian found her, not a teacher," Vasquez noted, stressing the importance of ensuring the safety of children attending school. She raised concerns about the effectiveness of current monitoring systems, questioning why teachers did not notice her daughter was missing, and called for tighter security measures such as keeping gates closed during school hours.
In the wake of this alarming incident, NYC Schools announced that they are actively investigating the situation to ensure that proper safety protocols will be reinforced. They are collaborating with both the district and the specific school involved to improve measures and prevent any such occurrences in the future. This case reflects a growing concern over school safety and proper oversight, particularly in urban settings where high-stakes environments can lead to lapses in supervision.
