The girl’s parents and grandparents are demanding the school district fire the bus driver.
The child attends Powder Springs Elementary School. Her family told Channel 2 Cobb County Bureau Chief Michele Newell she was dropped off several miles away from her home.
“This was my granddaughter’s first time riding a bus home. They initially told us her school teacher put her on the wrong bus and then once she got on that bus the bus driver told her to get off and she got off and she got lost. The bus driver told us and the school that she never got on the bus, when they looked at the camera they saw her get on the bus and get off somewhere else,” said Michelle Fanes who is the child’s grandmother.
Fanes said a good Samaritan found her granddaughter and called the police.
“She was walking around and she didn’t know where she was. She continued to walk. She just stopped completely on a main street and just stood there. She was just standing at a pole looking down crying. She said, “Grandma all I could do was just close my eyes and look down and cry.” A stranger found her, he was walking and he asked her what was wrong and she said I lost my parents,” said Fane.
