It’s every parent’s worst nightmare: a 2-year-old boy got out of his day care center and walked straight into oncoming traffic.
Thankfully, the boy is safe, but his mother is asking how something like this happened.
Daija Talley was driving last week Wednesday just after 3 p.m. when she got a call from Dorothy’s Montessori Center where her toddler Kayson Cureton attended and she could not believe what the staff were telling her.
They notified her three hours after the incident occurred that her child had gotten out.
WXYZ“I instantly stopped. I said, ‘Excuse me?’ And I’m on the freeway, so now I’m just frantic,” Talley said. “And I said, ‘So, my child is missing?’ She said, ‘Well we found him.’”
Kayson had walked out of the center in Southfield on Greenfield Road near San Quentin Avenue, north of 11 Mile Road. He walked onto Greenfield during the busy lunch hour barefoot.
A driver saw the boy, stopped her car and went to him. Seeing the center nearby, the stranger went to check if Kayson came from there.
