Parents’ horror as non-verbal boy, 3, walks out of school and is found soaking wet near his home 10 minutes away

A FUMING mum has slammed a primary school after her three-year-old son left the site alone and attempted to get home on his own.

Miles Diffey, three, was supposed to be in class at Trealaw Primary School in Rhondda, Wales, on Friday - but instead shocked his parents by turning up on the family's front doorstep soaking wet.

A passer-by watched on in horror as the youngster - who is non-verbal - wandered about in the cold after going missing from his lesson yesterday morning.

The stranger helped little Miles walk home safely by 10.50am but his outraged parents, Georgia, 28, and William, 29, are demanding answers from the school having been left feeling "shaken-up" and "angry" by the incident, reports WalesOnline.

His upset mum said: "She (the passer-by) had no idea how long he had been out and found him on one of the hills coming down to our house. 

"He was soaked through his nappy was full and it seems he had been out walking for a while.

"We were initially told Miles got out through a fence, then he left through the main gate and left the school at 10.35am which they saw on the camera but we now know he was seen at 10.30am out of the school so none of it makes sense.

"I just want answers."

They claim the school is refusing to show them CCTV to explain how Miles was able to leave the site alone.

"I just feel like we're being lied to and they're covering their own backs," Georgia added.

Rhondda Cynon Taf Council has promised to investigate the situation.

A council spokesperson said: "The safeguarding of pupils is of paramount importance and a full investigation into this serious incident is already underway.

"Council Officers and Social Services staff will work meticulously to understand how this incident occurred and where issues are identified immediately put in place measures to prevent this from happening again, and address any additional concerns that are identified as a result of the investigation.

"We fully share the concerns of parents and guardians of pupils, and they will shortly be receiving a letter regarding the incident."
