Special Needs Student Wanders Away from School

A second grader from Lawrence, MA with a learning disability walked out of the school yesterday afternoon. The young boy had been walking towards I-495 when a woman picked him up and dropped him off at a fast food restaurant, the police were notified after employees from T-mobile noticed that the boy had been walking around alone. Lawrence police had a search going for the boy, and the school did not realize the boy was missing until a half hour after he had left the school premises. There were many people at fault in this situation and the school needs to do a much better job at being aware of where the kids, especially kids with disabilities, are at all times.
