    Yeah, I feel like people commenting didn’t read the article, there kids as young as 5 years old just… left by the side of the road.

    If you imagine this being done to high schoolers, it’d be easier to condone (although even then the fact that he ditched everyone on the entire bus is a bit insane). But just, leaving a 5-year old by the side of the road?

        Oh, for sure. I’m not even going to pretend to have an informed legal opinion. I’m just talking about my own personal feelings.

        Absolutely, it’d be a stupid and irresponsible thing to do, but, people do stupid and irresponsible stuff all the time. Sometimes you can imagine yourself making such a mistake, or at least, understand the mental process that led to it.

        In this case, though, it’s a bit beyond that.

      I’m a school bus driver in the US and here you’re not even allowed to unload kids that young at their actual stop unless there’s an adult there waiting to take them. Doing this shit here would get you fired for sure and possibly arrested.
