Day 25 – School Gate, No Guard
It was just after closing.
The school compound buzzed with students rushing home.
But there was no security at the gate, and no one watching the street.
A 6-year-old boy followed a classmate across the road —
Straight into oncoming traffic.
The screech of tires.
The scream of a teacher.
And then silence.
He survived with injuries, but the lesson was clear:
Safety doesn’t end in the classroom.
🚸 Every school needs a dedicated gatekeeper or traffic warden
🚦 Road markings and signs should be visible
👨🏾‍🏫 Teachers should supervise pick-up zones
👪 Parents must teach children road safety rules
A child’s safety is a shared responsibility — don’t assume someone else is watching.
