There is a clear duty on the part of schools to supervise children, particularly at the kindergarten and elementary school level. A significant number of accidental injuries and deaths at schools are due to such failures to supervise. If there is any residual trauma to you or your child, it may be actionable as a tort against the school. It is insufficient to talk to school administrators. I have been involved in cases like this for more than 20 years, and administrators tend to dodge responsibility. Report the problem directly to the school board, to the police and possibly to your county social welfare agency. This school by sheer luck avoided a disaster.
