I'm not sure we're the child was found walking but peters creek pkwy is a long road and yes peters creek is close to Griffith Elem so I'm sure the. hold was not walking far and maybe the parents was not aware the child decides to walk on there on so until you know the circumstance it's best not to say anything until you know what happeed

That’s pitiful what the heck why are you not dropping off your child ?

Not knowing the whole story, which is not an excuse that can be excepted for a child being alone walking to school, but to address your point hypothetically, maybe they don’t have a car?

If they don’t have a car then one of the parents needs to walk with him until he learns the way to the school should never tell your kids to walk to school with all this going on kids getting kidnapped walking to school or walking to a store parents if you don’t have a car or anything, ask a friend ask the neighbor if they can’t help you instead of sending the kids, especially when they’re small to the store you walk with them same thing goes for you, Dad
