An investigation was launched after a grandfather wrongly brought the bad child back to a daycare center in Sydney, Australia.

The man arrived to recover his grand-child from First Steps Learning Academy in the southern suburbs of Bangor on Monday afternoon.

But he accidentally brought back a different child, who was sleeping in a dark room.

The error only became clear when the mother’s mother arrived at the center to find that his year is not there, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.

“I can’t explain the feeling,” she told the newspaper.

“They could not tell me his name (the man), they could not tell me who he was, they could not tell me who he was supposed to pick up. They could not tell me what he looked like, except that he wore shorts and he was an older gentleman,” said the mother, who asked not to be named, said.

As part of safety protocols, childcare services do not allow children to be collected by someone else, except parents, tutors or nursing caregivers

But she also said that the grandfather was not to blame.

“We are not angry with him. We are not angry with him – we blame the daycare.”

The grandfather’s wife told Sydney Morning Herald that her husband was “devastated” and had “owned the error”.

“When he realized, he ran this child so fast,” she said.

The first steps told the BBC that the educator involved in the incident had been withdrawn.

“We sincerely apologize to families directly involved in this deeply overwhelming and isolated incident,” said the director of the Nitrian Trisha Hastie.

She added that this has never occurred before in the nurseries of the first steps, and that strengthened the procedures to “make sure that this will never happen again”.

An investigation is underway in “the deeply worrying and serious incident,” said South Early Childhood South Wales and the Care Regulation Authority.

The incident occurs at an increase in increased awareness surrounding security in guard centers in Australia, and last month, new legislative changes were announced to improve safety standards in the sector.
