Another student with disability left on NY school bus
January 30th, 2009From the New York Daily News:
A 4-year-old boy with a disability was left unattended on a school bus parked outside the home of his bus driver after the driver and matron failed to drop him off at his preschool in Brooklyn.
The boy, Kamaal Richards, was spotted by an observer who called for help and turned the child over to police. “It could have been an honest mistake,” she said, “but how does anyone miss a child on a bus?”
The driver and matron were suspended by their company and face a misdemeanor charge of endangering the welfare of a child, according to police sources. The incident comes less than a month after a 22-year-old man with cerebral palsy was left strapped into a New York school bus overnight in freezing temperatures.
