A two-year-old boy was found inside a grit bin at Maybury Primary Early Learning and Childcare Centre in Edinburgh on January 16, after going missing for nearly an hour. His mother discovered him cold, shivering, and covered in grit, prompting a hospital visit before he was released in stable condition. The incident led to a police search and triggered concerns over safety protocols, with the mother alleging a prior supervision plan had been discontinued.
