Great-Grandfather Picks Up Wrong Child From School, Boy's Mother Enraged
NBCConnecticut ^

Posted on 02/27/2014 5:35:20 AM PST by Daffynition

Days after a great-grandfather brought the wrong boy home from school, the boy's mother is calling administrators incompetent and demanded that the school take action.

Angela Stone said her 5-year-old son was waiting for the bus at Sterling Community School on Friday when a man walked up to him and mistook the little boy for his own great-grandson and brought the boy to his house.

Only then did he realize he had the wrong child.

"Once the grand great-grandmother sees the boy and removes his hat, she realizes it's not her great-grandson and calls the school to say the great-grandfather has taken the wrong kid," Stone said during an emergency Board of Education meeting held in Sterling on Tuesday night.

The report doesn’t mention how old great-grandpa is.

Given some of the families I've seen lately, great-grandpa could be as young as 55-60.

My maternal grandparents had about twenty to thirty grandchildren. Grandma always recognized me, but grandpa would always ask “which one are you?”

“I think the government should provide every child with a 24/7 monitor. And the monitor should have a monitor who also has a monitor.”

Then who will monitor the monitor’s monitor’s monitor?

Let's remember...this is Connecticut. I wouldn't be one bit surprised that the great-great is charged with kidnapping.

5 year olds should not be attending public school.

When my grandkids first see me, they climb me like kittens climb a Christmas tree. I don't think I could pick up the wrong kids.

When I go pickup the Grandson at school if it's for Him getting out sick I have to go to the Office and Sign Him out, show ID and they call for Him to come from class or Nurses Office.

If it's just picking up after school, I get there early, (park in the Handicapped lot instead of sitting in the mile long line) He see it's Me and cringes because He knows that there is a very good chance His afternoon could well consist of Manual Labor after homework is done.

He can take forever to do homework if He wants to.

He is an A & B Student consistently and always has been, but boy does He HATE that labor!

By that age they should be in state-run interment camps for proper indoctrination.

At least the gramp didn’t take the kid to the doctor.

I can’t pick up my grandson unless: 1. I am on the authorized list,2. I have ID which I must show, 3. Sign out my grandson. All this must be done under the watchful eyes of the teacher or administrator, if I can’t complete all three I can’t take my grandson.

Is this worse than getting flowers and stuff for the anniversary on the wrong date?

Same safeguards are used here....I might add, only the Parent must have on record with the office, notice [written note or email or phone call]that the child will be picked up and by whom. The child isn't released unless the parent has been contacted to confirm the change of routine.

Yes same here, If my daughter or son in law don’t tell them prior to my arrival then I get to turn around and go home unless they can contact them.
