A disturbing incident occurred on Monday, April 27, in Bolesławiec. According to a report from a Reader, a one-and-a-half-year-old child allegedly left a nursery in Bolesławiec on his own and ended up outside its grounds without supervision.

A passerby noticed the child on one of the city’s streets. Seeing a small child left without supervision, he immediately reacted and notified the emergency services.

The Bolesławiec police confirmed the information from the Reader. As reported to the istotne.pl website, on April 27, during the morning hours, officers received a report from a person who had noticed the aforementioned boy, not yet two years old.

The police subsequently determined that the child was in the care of a nearby nursery. The necessary steps were taken at the scene to establish how the child had left the facility and how long he had remained without adult supervision.

The police are currently conducting explanatory proceedings under Article 160 of the Criminal Code, which concerns exposing a person to the direct danger of loss of life or serious injury to health.

Fortunately, nothing happened to the child. We will return to the matter.

Update

As a nursery employee informed us:

Dear Sir or Madam,

in connection with the comments published on your website and on social media concerning the incident involving a child that took place on the premises of one of our facilities, we kindly ask you to refrain from any further commenting on, disseminating or reproducing information relating to this matter.

We wish to emphasise that the facility immediately initiated explanatory proceedings concerning the incident, and that all required safety procedures were implemented and followed. The monitoring footage was secured, full documentation of the incident was prepared, and internal organisational measures were taken.

We also inform you that the facility grounds, including the playground, have the required technical safeguards ensuring children’s safety. The doors leading outside the facility are equipped with an automatic closing system, and their opening mechanism is designed to prevent children from opening them on their own.

We also stress that publicly commenting on the matter without knowing all the circumstances of the incident leads to unfounded assumptions and unnecessary speculation, causing unjustified concern among parents and people who follow the facility’s activities.

In view of the child’s welfare, respect for the families’ privacy and the need to maintain the reliability of the information provided, we ask you not to escalate the public discussion or reproduce comments based on incomplete information.

Our facility’s primary concern is ensuring children’s safety; therefore, every situation requiring clarification is treated by us with the utmost seriousness and responsibility.

We count on your understanding and respect for our request.

Yours faithfully
Nursery Employee
