CCTV footage captured two children, aged four and five, running and skipping along a footpath near a busy road in Melbourne’s inner north, after escaping from a kindergarten. Multiple reports describe the pair’s movement as they hop and move along the footpath, with the video showing them outside and apparently not supervised. One outlet reports the children eventually make it home to watch cartoons, while others focus on the CCTV images of the escape and the route along the major road. All accounts identify the children’s ages and describe the incident as a brief, uncontrolled departure from the kindergarten, documented by surveillance cameras. The reports agree that the footage shows the children travelling along the footpath in a public area next to traffic.
