Safety gaps in kindergarten: three girls escape in Floridsdorf

In a troubling incident in the 21st Vienna district of Floridsdorf, three four -year -old girls left their kindergarten on Prague Strasse unnoticed on Tuesday afternoon.

Such events raise questions about security and control in the care facility.

According to the mother of one of the girls, it happened when the children were unattended. They spent about 15 minutes on the busy streets before they were noticed. It was only at home after their arrival when the parents informed the kindergarten and the situation became known.
