I see a mother suggests she will sue a bus company for allowing her daughter to miss her stop.

Sounds logit, however, the child was 5, attending her first day at school, and for some reason mum, and perhaps dad as well decided it was perfectly fine to send a five year old off to her first day of school, on the bus, on her own.

Is that irresponsible or what!

Sending a child to a public school is irresponsible.

The bus company should actually be thanked because as a result the girl has formed a better opinion of the school-system and the parents will not repeat their mistake.

Unfortunately parents are offloading their responsibilities to parent much younger than 5 these days.

I can't imagine doing such a thing.
However I don't know the full details of this
story. Was it a school bus? What were the circumstances
as to why this was done?

well foxy it would appear the mother may be a DFI, which would explain a lot. Oh well, we, as a society, are what we sew I guess.

I cannot imagine any circumstance where I would allow a five year old to go on any bus alone, even a school bus
