Autistic preschool student wanders off but gets rescued by MRT staff; teacher is unable to remember how it happened

In a Facebook post today, a mother named Justina Ong told netizens about her experience with her child enrolled at My First Skool on Serangoon North Avenue.

According to Justina, her child’s preschool had lost track of their student, and that they were completely unaware of the child’s whereabouts for a certain period of time.

What made matters worse was that Justina's child is autistic, and could have thus explained why the student wandered off.

Here’s her post:

Kids are briefed on how they should behave and to always follow the teachers’ instructions, never to cross at an area without pedestrian crossings(traffic lights, zebra crossings or overhead bridge), always wait for the green man, make sure cars come to a stop before crossing even at pedestrian crossings, raise hands when crossing, no running, stay in line, etc. Teachers will also be flanking the kids, front and back and another teacher will usually stop in the middle of the crossing to make sure the last kid gets across before he/she joins them.


All these life skills should start from home, from the parents. Schools will teach as it is necessary when bringing kids out but the responsibility is still the parents’.

This highlights the importance of inculcating good road safety habits in our children from young.

Do kindergarten inculcate good road safety habits from young, besides parents ?

My girl MOE Kindergarten teacher teach her to raise hand when crossing road. Of course, I still hold on to her hand.

I've gently advised a parent with young kid riding scooter to school fumbling. Parents need to focus the process of going to sch as a learning process but with toys & other unrelated games, gadgets, etc that'll distract their focus. After I explained the danger involved when parents hv to help carry sch bag & hold on to fumbling kid trying to ride scooter to sch on rough & undulating grounds near roads with passing cars, the mum just stared at me. I thot I shld shut up, but I was really worried for young kids.

Has an German expat neighbor, whose Filipino maid fetch 5-year-old child with bicycle crossing zebra crossing & was fatally hit by an MPV. It was really painful for neighbors to see the couple, who packed to leave Spore within the same month coz mum was too distraught to be left alone at home in Spore.

Whoever's child it is, it's just too heart wrenching when a life is gone just like this.

Rest In Peace little Ashvin. 🙏

Yes pity the boy so if tangki next Tue (15th of lunar month) got ‘Chu tang’, bless the boy to recarnate into a good family.


Sorry esteema, I grew up in a family that my parents and grandparents always telling us ‘if you are naughty, abnn will catch you.’ Ok try not to use lah but sometimes it comes naturally. In fact I do not see anything wrong with using abnn, ah tiong or ah neh. :?

I grew up that way too, but hv learnt not to use hongkie, angmoh, etc coz I respect & realize that makes them very unhappy.

Private, aim to make more friends than collect enemies. It'll blow up in yr face someday if u're not careful. OK? Frd?

:? If you cannot see it, I rest my case.


Private cannot see lah, as we've seen his consistent behaviour, coz he's so private in his own thinking.

Please, tankee, you now see how difficult it is to help one guy ustand & learn how to be civil & non-racist, to use appropriate language that do not damage a community that we hope are inclusive & not stereotype? Easier to wipe out before getting ppl on tenterhooks.

DC hv very friendly, intelligent and go-getting classmates of the Indian race, but I just love to hv the chance to see them interact with my kids coz most of them are so eloquent. Although there were few occasions the few mummies shared their kids get ostracized by other kids. It's so sad, so I always make efforts in my play dates programmes to provide more opportunities to partner our kids so they learn to learn & play beyond color. I'm sure the parents nurture them as much if not more then Chinese parents. They're just as concern how their kids grow & experiences to exposed them. DC always eager to hv at least a proj teammate who is an Indian race as they're good teammates to hv most times according to DC.

According to some residents in the area of incident, most residents hv the habit of jaywalking & taking short-cuts in crossing the road. It cld hv happened to any Chinese family or other residence. So, we shld not generalize.

A very young life is lost. I'm sure Private, you cannlearnbto empathize a parents' grieve of loss? I felt the searing pain. I hope u're not saying u don't feel it?

So, pls DO NOT use ref such as ABNN as to me, this connotates a negative attitude towards our friends, who are our equal if not much more able grp of frds we can learn from. When I see yr post, it just gave me a very awlful taste.

Private, u can refrain fr such language lah, right?

Real busy road? Take a look at Bangkok or Vietnam.


By the way, I did not in any part of my post, mention any race.

I wasn’t actually addressing my post to you, I didn’t know you are online and I typed slowly. You are entitled to your views, and I can understand where you are coming from. I just want to highlight that the racist stereotype doesn’t always hold up. I have Indian neighbours who are very quiet and well mannered, as are their kids. I live in a very mixed neighbourhood, and I can think of many others who can fit into the stereotype applied.

it is a tragedy indeed. just that split second when the mum was attending to something when the boy dashed out.

this is why we cannot trust young kids when they get down from the car or at any place....we never know what they will do.
Yes it is a tragedy. He is a foreigner visiting his father in Singapore. I don’t really blame the mum because she is new to our country and the busy roads. If he had fallen but escape harm, she would have had cold sweat and gone back home reminding all her friends and family to be vigilant at our roads.

Even if she was local, I feel it is very wrong to attribute this to race. I see other races and nationalities doing the same thing. It can be ignorance, complacency, negligence or sheer fatigue. Regardless, it is something that nobody wants and there is no need to rub salt into wounds. I am very ashamed of the racist remarks I have read online. If we “know better”, is it not because of our more privileged position in terms of education, upbringing, traffic safety messages drummed in over the years in school and over public media, the highlighting of such accidents to us over the years etc? Can we really say that without all these, we would not have done the same? But since the accident, I have noticed increased vigilance among caregivers.

I would like to take the chance to highlight another factor in road safety. Some heavy vehicles need a longer braking distance, and in some cases, the vehicles are in poor condition with barely functional brakes. A family member was just involved in a car accident a few weeks ago, fortunately only the car was damaged. The accident happened because the truck’s brakes and steering were faulty. This was not totally the driver’s fault, but the company’s fault for stinging on maintenance and renewal of vehicles. So do make sure that there is enough distance between you and a moving heavy vehicle when crossing the roads.
