The station reports that school staff told Damion he was supposed to walk home. Despite his protests, the official remained adamant, so Damion began his journey home on foot.
To get to his house, Damion had to cross a freeway, where he told the KPRC that he was almost hit by a car.
This is national news - really??
A 7 year old should be smart enough to figure this out, and his mother could help boost his ego by telling him how smart and capable he is for getting himself home.
I walked this far when I was 4, from kindergarten, much of it along a highway.
I think this boy would have a stronger, more confident voice if his mother appreciated the fact that - in FACT, he was capable of walking the distance he did.

This poor little guy! If he was my son, heads would be rolling and I'd want someone's JOB!!
So glad he made it home and made it home safe
Do our schools just become numb to the fact that they're children since they deal with so many all day?? :sigh:
