My goodness I am absolutely shocked!
Thank God someone decent grabbed her and not a pedophile.
I don't blame the parents for being furious at the school, but I hope they start teaching the daughter at home how unsafe and dangerous her actions were. I started in on my kids at age two about pedophiles and never opening doors and wandering away.
When faced with pork chops for her school dinner, three-year-old Leonie Terry was not a happy pupil.
But instead of simply asking for something different, Leonie decided to take herself home for lunch almost half a mile away.
She wandered out of the school gates and down the street towards her house before crossing four roads on her own.
Leonie had walked around a quarter of a mile and was heading towards a busy dual carriageway when luckily a passer-by spotted her and escorted safely back to school.
Now a major inquiry is under way to establish how a young child was permitted to walk out of a busy school at lunchtime.
The youngster was spotted crossing a road by Gemma Bailey, 24, manager of a nearby estate agent.
She said: "I saw this little girl run past in school uniform and then across a road on her own so I ran after her and brought her back to the shop.
"She didn't have a coat or bag with her. When we phoned the school they said they didn't even know she was missing."
Leonie's expedition for her lunch had taken the daring youngster almost a quarter of a mile from her primary school. She is believed to have been missing from Aspinal primary school in Gorton, Greater Manchester for at least 20 minutes.
