11-year-old girl goes missing, then turns up Staff report 20 hrs ago 0 SPRINGFIELD, Vt. — An 11-year-old student who went missing after a class field trip Thursday afternoon was found about four hours later that evening, authorities said. The student’s class went on a hike in the Muckross State Park. The girl had left her knapsack on one of the trails and the class didn’t have enough time to turn around and get it, police said. When the class returned from the trip, the girl’s father went on the trails with the girl to look for the knapsack. The girl ran away from her father looking for the pack but got lost, police said. The father looked for her for about an hour before reporting her missing around 4 p.m. The girl was later found on Commonwealth Avenue around 8 p.m., police said. She asked a resident on the road for help and the resident helped bring her home safely, police said. advertisement The knapsack was also located, police said.
The headline and beginning of the article are very misleading.
ReplyDeleteThis child was lost after school hours - not on the field trip.
It's poorly written with the intend to put the school staff in a bad light.
School staff should have escorted her back to get her belongings!
Delete@anonymous- No, that is not always the option. If the bus was leaving to go back to school, they would have had to leave. Maybe she noticed it missing after the bus was already on the road. The busses have afternoon routes they need to get to, you can't always just go back. When someone leaves an item on a plane, and you are through security, you don't get to just "go back" for it. People need to be responsible for their items. Even 11 year old's. It is not the school's fault.
Delete^ X2. Classic CNN fake news reporting. Editor should be issuing a retraction and apology.
ReplyDeleteWhen will you idiots learn to read! The headline states that the girl went missing AFTER the field trip. If you had bothered to read the artlicle, you would have known she disappeared AFTER school hours, and that she was accompanied by her father!
