[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Not the PP to whom you're responding but: Why are people coming back fixated on the time of day this happened and the times of day kids supposedly should or should not be on a bus according to total strangers who post on DCUM?

There are many special bus routes all over the county every day for kids with a variety of situations and needs. I do not see why some posters here seem so suspicious about a child being on a bus at 2 p.m. You have zero idea why that child was on any bus at 2:00, whether the child is in middle or elementary or high school (hasn't been made public), what time the child's school dismisses or (gasp!) whether that child might not have been ruled by the school dismissal time at his school. Some kids at DC's school are special needs and arrive and leave at times different from the rest of the student body. Just let the whole "Middle school dismissal is 2:15!" etc. go, already.

I think that because so few details have been released, that there is still the fear that the child was left on the bus.  Once we know a little more, people will be more understanding.  [/quote]

Given that the incident wasn’t called I until 2 pm, I think it’s unlikely the child was left on the bus. When the child didn’t arrival school, there should have been an an attendance call to a parent that morning. Once the parent reported that the child had gotten onto the bus that morning, the bus would be the first place they would check for him. The odds that this took something like six hours is possible, but unlikely.[/quote]
