I was not at the school bus stop

[Anonymous]

But the the school bus dropped off my 5 year old anyway. Wtf? She walked alone, by herself, for one block and came to the locked house. No one was at home. She just stood there, on the street, and sobbed. Lucky I was running just a few minutes later.

That's your fault

Common sense is to always be a few minutes early. Sounds like a failure on your part.

I want to say you suck but I'm sure you want to blame someone else.

Didn't you post this like two months ago?

They made it very clear to us that they no longer wait at a bus stop if a parent isn't present. Your fault.

I'm glad that your daughter was safe. Next time you should be on time.

Nothing, I mean nothing, is more important than being there for your kid. Nothing. Now, if you had had a catastrophic emergency, that's different. If you knew you were going to be late, you should've called the school and/or a trusted neighbor to meet Larla at the bus stop.

Not OP, but I don't think a driver should drop 5 year old off without a parent present. The driver should have kept her on the bus and taken her along with him as he finished his drops, then called you to pick her up from wherever the bus ends up.

OP here. I was running late. I wasn't going to be able to get her at the bus stop.

The school policy is that they're not supposed to let kids off the bus unless the parents are there.

I mean, come on, if I don't pick the kid up from school, they'll just send the child home walking?

Pretty stupid of you OP.

What if I was in the hospital unconscious??? They would just let my child off and go wonder the streets?

Why is it their problem? Did you even tell them you couldn't be there, or did you expect the bus driver to go ahead and take her in, change her diaper (Pampers goes up to size 7 now!) and make her a sippy of diluted juice while the other kids wait on the bus for you to show up?
