NEW YORK (WABC) -- An Eyewitness News exclusive as yet another child just walking out of his school and no one stopped him.
This time a 6-year-old in the Bronx leaving the school with no coat and no gloves and he was walking from his school PS 196 to his home 6 blocks away, where his mother was, to the say the least, shocked to see him.
"Avonte just was going through my mind. Could have been killed, hit by a bus., hurt in some way anything coming home by himself," said the child's mother Racquel Bennett.
Bennett is the mother of 6 year old Tommy and when Eyewitness News interviewed his mother he was still in the clothes he was wearing when walking home. No hat, no gloves, or a hat, just his school uniform as he made the 20 minute walk home through 4 busy intersections.
