The child, 6-year-old Daniel Cruz, attends the Academy of Math and Science South Mountain in South Phoenix, and is on the Autism spectrum. He was allowed to leave school on the afternoon of April 19, and the boy's mother was not notified by school officials.
A mother of 6-year-old child who is on the Autism spectrum is demanding answers, after her son was allowed to leave kindergarten early on the afternoon of April 19 without the school notifying the mother.
"There's two doors in the office. There's one to get in the office, and then there's another door that the office people have to buzz you in, and that's to keep the kids safe. [Daniel] walked out of both doors without anyone noticing," said Gutierrez. "Five minutes later, I'm like 'are you guys going to tell me what's going on?' She tells me 'well, I don't know if the teacher is going to come and speak to you, or if someone else is going to tell you what happened, but he's not here,'" Gutierrez recalled.
"I'm in tears. Luckily a mother that has a daughter in his class [and] has my phone number had found him two miles down the road and called me," said Gutierrez. "I'm in tears. Freaking out, asking the office what is going on. I'm in there for about 30-40 minutes without anyone coming out to speak to me.""Home, because I was - the music teacher told me to go.
