No the problem is both the child and the bus driver, who should be fired for NOT doing his job, as I already said.
The child is the one who slept and didn’t get off when he should have and apparently can’t figure out how to get off a bus with windows open and 2 (count’em 2) doors. Pathetic! My Dad would have whipped me for not getting off the bus when I should have and then again for claiming NOT to know how to get off a stopped bus with open windows and 2 freakin’ doors.
The kid fell asleep. It happens and it’s not a crime. Perhaps he was up too late the night before. As to the doors, how many of today’s seven year olds have you interviewed to see if they know how a school bus’s doors work? How many of them could identify the mechanism for How many of them are capable of reading the instructions for opening the Emergency exit, or are able to read and accurately identify the word “Emergency”? Was this seven year old strong enough to open the Emergency door?
Was there a locking latch on the OUTSIDE of the door that prevented him from exiting out the door? Some school buses are equipped with those.
Was another kid scolded or the entire bus lectured about touching the Emergency exit latch because it would sound an alarm on the bus and this kid didn’t want to get in trouble for setting off an alarm?
The kid made a mistake in his fear and ignorance; both of which can be corrected and formed into courage and wisdom. The bus driver is guilty of criminal negligence
