Boy, 4, walks home from Pittsburgh school midday
PITTSBURGH (AP) - Pittsburgh school officials are trying to figure out how a 4-year-old boy slipped away from his preschool in the middle of the school day and walked to his home about a mile away.
The boy's mother, Markeya McCary, says she was shocked when her son showed up at home Monday when he was supposed to be at the Greenway Early Childhood Center.
School officials had noticed he was missing and had already begun to search for him when they learned he had made it home.
McCary says her son told her he left because someone tried to lock him in a closet. School officials are investigating that claim and trying to figure out how the boy was able to slip away from school.

Good for him.
This is evidence that kids this age and younger can have something extraordinary inside their mind such as huge three-dimensional idea, huge visual memory and thinking skills like this one does. An 4 years old needs to think before attempting to do something like this which he obviously have done. Why do people get shocked when they see an kid having some sort of talents or thinking ability?
Smart kid, remembering the way home, though, that is a strange reason to leave school...
That's awesome. I wish I had done that in Kindergarten. Then maybe I would be trusted to bike to/from school.
I whistled.
