Hi, I want to report a serious student safety issue at a school in Lakewood, NJ.

My younger sister was released to the wrong person during pickup. There are two young girls at the school with the same first name but different last names. The staff at the front already knows exactly who is supposed to pick up my sister and who is not. Despite that, they still released her to the wrong person.

The school did not properly verify her full name or any identifying details before letting her go. The only reason she was given away was because the person arrived in a silver car similar to my mom’s, which should not have been used as verification. This is very concerning because basic identity checks were not followed.

The person did return her, but this caused significant distress and raises serious concerns about pickup procedures and student safety.

I can provide more details, including the school name and timeline, if needed.
