ST. PAUL, Minn. — A major school bus mix-up has a St. Paul mom fired up and looking for answers.
On Monday, Hindi Abdi went to pick up her 4- and 5-year-old children from Crossroads Elementary, but they were not there.
“When I showed up, they weren’t there,” Abdi said.
Panic set in when she found out they were on a bus.
“A bus home that we’ve never rode. I don’t even know the intersections to or discussed,” she said.
The Saint Paul School District says their system showed Monday that the kids were scheduled to start taking the bus and were dropped off at their assigned bus stop.
Abdi says the miscommunication put her children in danger and she was even more upset when she found out her son refused to get off at the strange stop.
She said both her kids were confused after being dropped off at the intersection of Sherburne Avenue and St Alabans Street. Her 5-year-old son saw a fire truck and walked with his sister to get help.
