Bonita Springs mother seeks answers after 5-year-old left on school bus for nearly three hours
Sheena Presnell sent her son, Matthew, off to San Carlos Park Elementary School around 7 AM like any other morning, but then she got an alarming call.
“I got a call that he was absent, and I was like, is this a mistake? So of course my heart dropped. I called the school. What upset me the most was that she said, am I sure I put my son on the bus? That’s what she told me. Of course, I put my son on the bus,” Presnell said.
According to Presnell, she received a notification that her son’s I.D. was scanned when he got on the bus and again when he supposedly arrived at school. However, while at work, she received a call from the school’s automated system informing her that Matthew was absent. A few minutes later, the school notified her that Matthew had fallen asleep on the bus and had only just been discovered.
