Yesterday a five-year-old first grader was dropped off in the middle of the Bronx and left to wander the streets. The New York Daily News said that the little boy, Jaeden, was supposed to go to the after school program next door to his school but was accidentally put on the bus instead. Not knowing what was going on, Jaeden rode the bus until that last stop when the bus driver forced him to get off. The bus driver didn't even care that Jaeden had no adult waiting to pick him up. What else is a five-year-old to do but listen to his elders? This poor little boy had to ask a stranger for help because he was lost.
This is a disgrace. First of all, this kid was supposed to go right next door to the school for an after school program and somehow he was put on the bus. The school should have a better system of organizing where the kids are going after school whether it's on the bus, getting picked up, or going to an after school program. It wouldn't have been such an ordeal if the bus driver just took this little boy back to school after he realized that this kid wasn't getting off the bus but that's not what happened. Jaeden rode the bus until the last stop where the bus driver forced him to get off. This kid is five years old, he doesn't know any better than to listen to this bus driver. I can't believe that the bus driver didn't even realize that he didn't have anyone waiting to pick him up. Also, shouldn't he/she know what kids ride the bus? If someone that doesn't usually ride the bus that this driver is driving the driver should have figured that out and brought the kid back to school. This poor little boy had to fend for himself and ask a stranger for help because he was lost. Now, he's in the Bronx, this person that he asked for help could have been some bad guy with a gun and kidnapped him or something. Luckily this story has a happy ending. The lady that the little boy asked for help called the school and got him to his mother.
