[QUOTE="Shari, post: 423326, member: 1848"] When Wee went to the early intervention preschool, he rode a bus and the bus dropped him off at the sitter at noon. One day, the sitter had gone to the dr in the morning, and an accident on the highway had blocked her getting back home on time. The bus was running early. We were at a luncheon after a funeral and saw it go by just before the sitter called and asked me to call the school and tell them she'd be there asap. So, I called the transportation director AND the sped director and told them both what happened. They both said no big deal, they'd deliver the other kids first, then take Wee. So, we went on about our lunch. We got a panicked call a half hour later from the sitter who said her dad had been there and said he saw the bus as he left, so she assumed the bus dropped him off, but she didn't know where he was. We called the school, and they radioed the bus driver, who had never gotten the message, and dropped him off like normal. The sitter lived in a small subdivision several miles out of town and when Wee couldn't get in her house, he had gone to the neighbor's. The neighbor lady had given him lunch and they were just waiting at the kitchen table for sitter to get home and pick him up. He was 4. And aside from the school really dropping that ball, it was an honest mistake on the part of those directly involved, and all's well that ends well. How was the bus driver to know? How was the sitter to have "beaten" the traffic of an accident? How were we to know the school didn't call the driver? So if you're awful, so are we. And I'm pretty certain you aren't awful, anymore than we are, sitter was, or bus driver was. in my humble opinion, actually, sitter and bus driver were pretty much God-sends.... [/QUOTE]
