The great escape: Mother's anger after boy, three, scales 6ft fence in nursery breakout bid
The mother of a three-year-old boy who managed to scale a 6ft fence and escape from his nursery without anyone noticing has spoken of her anger over what happened.
It comes as bosses revealed they have completed a review of security measures since the scare.
Omari Faure-Johnson was found on a nearby street after making his getaway by climbing over a mesh fence at Christchurch Primary School in Albert Street, Oldbury.
The incident last month prompting an urgent safety review at the school and left the youngster's furious mother Emma Johnson questioning how her son was allowed to get out unnoticed.
She said she found it hard to believe her son was able to make it over the fence but headteacher Michaela Long said she had 'no doubt' that is what happened.
Omari was spotted by a passer-by and was taken back to the school. He is believed to have been missing for around four minutes.
Miss Johnson, aged 24, said she was left stunned when she was told what happened.
She told the Express & Star: "I got a phone call asking me to come into the office as there had been an incident. I thought he had fallen over or something. They said Omari had climbed over the gate and had been found on a road at the back of a school.
"I was in hysterics. I was asking 'is he ok, how did he get out, he's three years old?'.
"I can't understand how he got out without anybody seeing. If that would have happened at home I would have got done."
Miss Johnson, of Fountain Lane, Oldbury, admits she is no longer confident in the school's ability to protect Omari and his twin brother Lkiye.
She said: "I am trying to get him moved, this isn't on. I have been ringing up to see if he's in school."
The school said there had been a full review following the incident.
Ms Long said: "All procedures have been followed and a thorough review of our security and safety measures has been carried out."
Following the incident, ward councillor Susan Downing called on the school to 'make it a priority' that the lapse could never happen again.
She said: "Every parent likes to think their child is safe at school and rest assured school staff have child safety as a primary concern, as it is the most important thing in all of this."
