So...was the mom able to find her son? like where is he? Where's THAT story? UPDATE on the boy, please!

EDIT* I had to find the article that stated "was only after hours on hold with OSSE and on the phone with 911 that the boy was safety reunited with his family"

thank goodness!

Listen we're talking about little children, live little children. What kind of excuses are these for not making sure kids are getting home safely. Mother you should be going nuts you better go find your kid.

Not staffing shortages its a pay shortage

You can't read nurse a child getting hurt or lost or kidnapped or killed this bus service is a necessity no matter what even if they temporary hire from a nother school district or help the parents with timely communication if they are going to have to transport thier own child with special needs help them temporary with gas money set up the gas money in different stores coordinated with the routes so it can not be mis used or mail out a gift card that can only be used with a certain store and have them activate this through the school district office so it doesn't get miss used

School bussing shouldn't exist. Neighborhood schools are best for children
