How did a 5-year-old walk 3 miles home from school alone?

[@Kelp407]

When i was born my brother was in grade 4 so he had to walk home the good thing is home was pretty close to school😊

[@fauxdauteur]

This kid is smart. He has a lot of courage and he doesn't even know it. I hope that couraged is protected all through his adult life. He will go very far. God bless him and shame on the school though.

[@PaulHoward111]

Smart kid. The school that didn't keep track of the kids - maybe not so much.

[@patrece1970]

Smart Kid, but this is scary!! Praise to God for covering him, the parents should be outraged at the school.

[@alpzepta]

How it this scary? Kid in Japan walk alone all the time.

[@potatoJELLY]

Ma'am once again this isn't japan

[@siannarolls1563]

@AlpZepta Japan is WAYYYY more safer than America.

[@daniellerenee4279]

This broke my heart because I get so afraid that my 6 year old or 4 year old will be lost on the wrong bus when going home It’s very overwhelming as a parent to trust these teachers and school officials with our babies I thank God for making our babies as smart as he does and giving us wisdom and trusting us to guide his angels while they are here on earth

[@470ohio]

How did the school let him go without a parent? And how did no one call the police & report a small child walking around by himself? I'm glad he made it home safe.

[@alpzepta]

Literally Japan let’s kids go to school without a parent

[@potatoJELLY]

@@alpzepta BUT THIS ISNT JAPAN

[@Tarika916]

I mean like... why would people call the cops? They are just minding their own busniess, everyone wont care bc they will think their parents allow.

[@crazygirlzlover]

I want to do the same thing too and I'm in elementary school. I'm enrolling to grade 5.

[@TimeDiddy]

Don't do it Im going into year 7 and my Primary School that I just left was about 2 minutes away so I was safe My secondary school is about a 45min walk But my friends will be with me Don't go by urself you never know what will happen Just ask your parents to pick you up if your school is that far

[@alpzepta]

@@TimeDiddy why not? Japanese Kids do it all the time

[@retrxrylee]

@@alpzepta dude u can’t just say “Japanese kids do it” u can just say that, think outside the world ofc Japan is more safe for kids to walk like Hong Kong, everywhere would there and if u say in Australia, kids can easily get taken or get distracted and it’s in neighbourhoods and not everyone can see the children passing by

[@msen5030]

I used to do this every weekday

[@Ka52837]

That happened to me today I was very careful and notice and keep going until I went home. I mean my school is near my house btw

[@Ka52837]

And my family was worried

[@Ka52837]

Until my parents are suppose to pick me up so I walk home I’m kinda dum

[@susannamadison205]

he was suppose to be in after school program so school should have made sure he was it doesnt take a scientists to understand this story

[@MISSLOVELY_REE]

Omg praise god

[@user-qy6bf2jv4z]

Congrats to him and me and others I walked 12 miles

[@doctorllama2507]

I use to walk home from school carrying my 10 kg backpack on one hand till I could hold and then carried it on curl position and on my shoulder and switched to the other hand, did this for 3km and a half and my shoulders and traps were burned

[@komopnou7697]

How is this news? He got home safely, it's not that big of a deal!!! Also, I assume this all played out during the day, but I think they are intentionally trying to make this story bigger than it is by filming a part of this at night. Come on guys, report things that are worth reporting, and do it properly!

[@susannamadison205]

he didnt have hes cell phone while at school he called his mum on his cell phone when he got home DAH

[@whatsup7535]

Stop praising yourselves for 5 yr olds walking alone. That is unsafe.

[@gulvetannehill2842]

How do u keep it respectful when u have teaching staff who only care about 2 things. What the other grown teachers are Doing and when the clock strikes 3 Thhe people that are pd... Even though its not that much $ But still if they take on that responsibility, then pay attention!!! These little people are not ready to Handel the we live in an u grown Up prople let precious things in life slip through ur fingers. Like your kids!!! Few people need fired rt. Then an there. Period. Cant pay attention! Cant work with kids!

i walk 5 miles home from school and im 12

[@shitzunuyeager6166]

is 3 miles supposed to be a lot?

[@alpzepta]

For people think this is dangerous, LOOK! 5 years old girl can go shopping alone in Japan safely! In fact, every Japanese kid go to school and take a train without parent!

[@xooheaven]

this is america not japan. america is very dangerous and scary, kids and women or anyone cant just walk around without someone knowing and its sad

[@alpzepta]

@@xooheaven yeah your right America is dangerous more than people think.

[@nickybookz222]

I look with amazement but not in a way you would think.... what's special about this? In the Netherlands it is quite normal for children from the age of 5 to 6 to cycle home alone and even use public transport. And this applies in several parts of Europe, but also, for example, in Japan.

[@Alexandria.Washington]

I walked five(5) miles alone, to pm kindergarten at age five! I crossed several streets including a highway entrance! I had to register myself once I reached the school. I was screaming and crying uncontrollably for hours after I reached the school’s hallway! I hated my Mom for such a careless decision. I often asked her why? She acted like it was no big deal! Horrible and neglectful mother. As a result, I became a helicopter parent of my children. Five years old was way too young, but it made me extremely independent. I’m still angry 35 years later!!!

[@martinez.partnership]

can't blame you for still feeling angry

[@chrisisastallion5517]

Girl- I do that everyday cause my bus b ghetto as hell

[@sct913]

Why is a FIVE YEAR OLD even carrying a cellphone? Sad commentary on our society.

[@janeprendergast8332]

If he'd gotten lost, it might have saved his life.

[@csmith563]

His phone was at home, as his mother said. Pay attention before you criticize...SMH

[@jwanderson89]

Well the boy walked 3 miles by using his feet and putting one foot in front of the other. Amazing huh?

[@mysticsaintz7515]

Believe me I could take this challenge but I will have to run across a highway for me to get home. I’m gonna take the risk when I’m able to.

You're either a kid or an adult that's crazy. One income hardly pays for anything these days so if they're able to make life easier by having two incomes why the hell shouldn't they. You got the money to pay their bills for em??? Didn't think so dumbass

[@ShendonV]

@@TradBarbie ​ Have you ever heard of dads also staying home? Or is being a parent a woman thing?

[@TradBarbie]

@@ShendonV Being a mom is in fact a feminine thing. Some women may date feminine men or men who can't make as much money as them, and choose for the woman to work. If that man does all the housework, then that arrangement will probably turn out fine. Are you not capable of critical thinking, or did you just want to see if you could start an argument?
