how the hell do you forget a whole kid that's next level incompetence
council spends millions on cycleways nobody uses instead of funding proper driver background checks
Terrifying stuff. These drivers should be vetted monthly, not just once. Our kids deserve better.
It's the lack of accountability that gets me. One incident is one too many, but this is systemic failure.
teachers get it in the neck daily but private contractors can do whatever tf they want apparently
they'll just blame lack of funding and nothing changes typical

No wonder parents are driving their kids to school themselves. Cheaper than therapy for the trauma.
absolutely, my mate works in transport and says training is a joke, just tick the box and off you go
I bet this is just the tip of the iceberg, most incidents never get reported because parents don't want hassle
that's why I drive my kid every day even though it's a pain. Not worth the risk.
Oh wow forgetting kids is bad enough but sexual assault on the school run what is wrong with people
Disgusting. How many more kids have to suffer before they actually do something? My blood is boiling.
so where are the consequences? Probably just a slap on the wrist and back to work tomorrow
My cousin's kid was left on the bus for an hour in summer. The driver didn't even check. Kid had a panic attack. Sickening.
