The “Tashkent Land” Telegram channel reported on this incident. The video shows the kindergarten gate being open, cars parked nearby, but no security guard present.
There are four groups operating in the kindergarten, one of which includes children aged 4 to 7. Only a kitchen staff member was present at the scene, who stated that they did not know where the caregiver was.
The press service of the Tashkent city department of preschool and school education commented on this situation. The incident depicted in the video occurred at a state preschool educational institution in the Yangihayot district.
One of the citizens, Y. R., entered the institution's territory without permission, spoke with the children, and reported that they were left without the caregiver's supervision.
