[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here again.

I talked to DD and we made a plan.

a) If I'm not at the stop, she does not get off the bus.

b) If she's off the bus and no one is at home she goes to one of our 4 neighbor's houses.[/quote]

OP- this is good. You've made a plan. Sorry this happened to your DD- now you're making sure it doesn't happen again.

There is a ridiculous amount of parent shaming going on here. I've seen a child wander away from a harried mother at a play gym- all of the other parents immediately pitched in and located the child's mom (not negligent, just supervising several kids at once, one of them a "runner"). Parents help each other out, communities help each other out. We're not here to make each other feel inadequate or like failures for a glitch.

It's a major red flag that the bus driver let the child off without an adult. That is the last action in a chain of events that could have put the child in danger. Yes, the ultimate responsibility rests with the parent, but when the safety of a child is concerned, we all have some responsibility. [/quote]
