A Spring Valley mother is demanding accountability after her five-year-old son was found wandering unsupervised when he was supposed to be in an after-school program. Mariah Mora received a call from the San Diego Police Department on December 12th, informing her that her son had been found alone and covered in dirt after an hour of wandering. The incident occurred despite him being enrolled in an after-school program run by PrimeTime, a contractor for the San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD). SDUSD confirmed that poor judgment by a PrimeTime employee led to the child leaving the site unsupervised and stated that corrective measures are in place to prevent future incidents.
