Video: 3-Year-Old Child Escapes Kindergarten Near Moscow, Absence Noticed Only 40 Minutes Later

A three-year-old girl escaped from a kindergarten in Shchelkovo, near Moscow, as she desperately wanted to see her mother. After arguing with a friend, the girl decided to go home. It took the teachers and caretakers 40 minutes to notice she was missing. The escape was captured on video, shared by SHOT.

On February 19, the little girl first stepped out of her group and began to dress near her locker. Neither the teachers nor another mother in the vicinity paid attention to her. Consequently, the girl got dressed and walked towards home as if nothing had happened. The kindergarten realized the child was missing only 40 minutes later.

A neighbor noticed the girl in the street and called her mother. The child herself insists that she left because she was eager to see her mother due to a conflict in the group. The Shchelkovo city prosecutor's office is conducting an investigation.
