Good thing this was in Florida, and not Minnesota
Does Nancy Grace know about this? :)
seven year old first grader?
The kid couldn’t figure out the emergency exit? I’m assuming this is not a ‘special needs’ kid here so what’s wrong with a kid who can’t figure out who to use an emergency exit?
Perhaps an earlier bedtime is in order. At least he caught up on his sleep.
Too bad none of the windows he counted were open.
Love that headline, nickcarraway, because the two points are made twice in the same sentence of the heading I love so much, nickcarraway.
Poor little guy. They are just kids and sometimes just do not know what to do. My grandson went a week in K without lunch because the teacher never told the kids how to order from the lunch menu. I almost ripped the teacher a new one. Her response, hey they are five they should have figured it out. (Oh, first week of school, really how are K supposed to know).
Maybe this little guy on the bus hadn’t ridden very much.
Dylan’s not real bright for a seven year old. “Counted all the open windows,” and he still couldn’t find a way out of the bus? Not to mention every school bus I know of has an emergency exit door in the back that opens really easily.
Nanny-state alert.
The bus depot is also part of the maintenance yard and it is quite close to the USPO and several private businesses. I think the child did not want to be found.
He could have shouted or made himself noticed with very little effort.
Still it was not his fault that he was left on the bus.
Does someone have to hold it for little Dylan while he pees?
He probably learned more that day than the other public schoolchildren. And no culture-rot brainwashing, either.
7 is a little young, but I remember one time, I was about 12, our bus was stuck in a snow drift on some back road. The driver told all the kids to sit and wait for “help” After about 20 minutes, we decided screw that, we’re only about a half mile from home. So, we popped the back door and high tailed in home. Came back a couple hours later and the bus was still stuck there.
That may have been the moment I learned NEVER depend on the Govt.
I wish the government would metaphorically ignore me like this every day.
This particular accident would have been prevented with having another adult on the bus to go through a safety check off list with the driver at the completion of the trip. ( Like they should do on scuba diving expeditions.)
While private companies must recall a toy that has 1 in a trillion parts of a **POSSIBLY** dangerous substance, government schools get away with 17,000 emergency room visits for school bus injuries and several deaths from dragging and crushing EVERY YEAR!!
Most of these emergency room admission and deaths could be prevented with adult supervision on the back of the bus and when exiting, entering, and crossing the road.
Too many school bus accidents involve a roll over ( a design problem). The serious injuries and deaths that occur due to children falling out of their seats, slamming into other children, or the sides of the bus. This roll over injuries would be reduced with with seat belts. Exit hatches on the roofs would facilitate quick evacuation from the bus.
Someone is sure to post that a child is safer on a bus. HOG SLOP! There are NO NO NO studies that compare school bus safety with that of a **parent** driving a child directly to and from school with the child securely fastened in his seat belt.
Where do these so called “professionals” live? In a cave?
This is NOT NOT NOT the first time a child has been left on a school bus.
So...In other professions, when there has been an accident, other REAL professionals take note of the incident, make corrections in their own practices, and strive not to have the same accident happen in their business.
Gee! I have an idea.
These so called **professional** “educators” should ask for help from that EEEEEEVIL capitalistic multinational company DUPONT, and ask them to do a safety review of their entire school system, including bus safety.
Maybe then these “professional” “educators” would take their “professional” responsibilities seriously.
If DUPONT ( evil capitalists that they are) WERE RUNNING THIS SCHOOL SYSTEM THIS ACCIDENT WOULD NOT NOT NOT HAVE HAPPENED!!!
( Yeah! I am shouting jumping up and down and having a fit. This kid could have died. Thank goodness the weather wasn't too hot or cold. )
