DO YOUR JOB AS A PARENT [/quote]

Yes, take the school system to court.  That is your job as a parent.  Make the school system abide by the laws that everyone else has to follow.  Children are not legally allowed to be left to roam around at that age.  That's the law.  It applies to the school system. Get a lawyer, sue them. That is your job as a parent. [/quote]

The school system announced a 1/2 day and brought the child to the correct stop. The child is "roaming" because the parent is not there.  But WOW..the child knew what to do!  I would hope all families have a contingency for a late pickup..traffic..weather..forgot.  My bus stop always had some parents there and they would have made sure a child who was usually met was ok.  Maybe they need to go to a neighbors.  Maybe they need to ask another parent at the stop to call someone.  There are many option.[/quote]

[b]The child is roaming because the adult in charge did not make sure the child was safe.[/b]  Children are all different and are not old enough to be responsible for their safety.  Not all can walk, talk, communicate, reason, ask questions, map out routes or call uber at that age.  That's why they are considered children and adults are in charge.[/quote]
Right. The adult in charge forgot that it was a half day and did not talk to the children about what to do if she's not waiting at the bus stop. But the children figured it out, and it all ended well. Hooray![/quote]
