Bus Accident
I'm a parent and the worst thing for me is to know that my child was put in a harmful situation while in school supervision.
Last Friday evening when my kids got home from school, they told me they were in an accident on the bus. I said, "What!?" They went on to tell me the bus driver fell asleep was about to hit a second bus, head on, before he woke up and jerked the wheel, sideswiping the other bus. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I then ask my kids, was the police called or an ambulance to make sure all the kids were safe. NO! They didn't call anyone. NO ONE! I was mad.
We decided to contact the bus garage itself and ask why no one thought it was important to call the parents of the kids on board but they said there was no actual accident, the mirrors only hit.
I couldn't believe my ears, the kids on the bus took pictures of a broken window, broken mirror and a shattered side window. When is an accident serious enough to call the parents, blood?
There is a page on Facebook that revolves around the board of education, it was posted on there that there was a wreck. A lady from the bus garage said people should get their facts straight before they accuse others of things. She basically said every child on the bus was a liar. That didn't sit well with me.
I understand if the bus only touched mirrors then the bus garage would have to deal with the aftermath. What gets me is the bus driver didn't think about the kids. He drove on to school and laughed about it. He didn't ask if anyone was alright or see if the smaller kids needed their parent.
Yesterday, I found out the bus driver went to the hospital when he dropped off the kids. He wouldn't be back to work until Wednesday because he had a concussion. How is this right, if it wasn't a serious enough accident to call the police or the parents?
