“The child was sleeping on the seat and no one heard about it,” he said while talking to him Giorgos Houtoumadis, president of the parents’ association of the 2nd kindergarten of Kifissia, referring to the incredible incident with the 4.5-year-old child who was forgotten at school.

“On Monday morning, while he had picked up 5 children from school, he left 4 at kindergarten and neither the passenger nor the driver heard from him. The school then went to its location where again the child was not seen. They locked the vehicle and left. When the child woke up and saw that he was alone, he got scared while the bus was in a dangerous place, next to a boulevard,” noted Mr. Houtoumadis.

What followed was unbelievable, as according to him, the child got off the school but fortunately got back into the vehicle when he saw that there was traffic and a lot of people at the scene. Yes, yes he refastened his belt and took a book out of his bag to pass the time.

A total of 6.5-7 hours the child was alone and acted with incredible composure even though he was scared. He waited patiently until they found him and informed the parents who until that moment had no idea what was happening to their child.
