It's back to school time, when children return to the classroom, and to the daily routines that get them there and back for the next nine months. Most students take the bus, which can be a little scary for parents with young kids who are doing it for the first time. Usually, there is nothing to worry about, but one mom lived through a nightmare on her daughter's first day of school, and she tweeted about it as a warning to other parents.
In a Twitter thread, a mom named Coley, who lives in what she calls a "small farming town about an hour outside of St. Louis," described how a bus driver's negligence nearly killed her five-year-old daughter.
As far as Coley knew, everything was fine in the morning, 30 minutes after putting her daughter on the bus.
It turned out though, all was not well.
Coley wanted everyone who read about what happened to her to take something from it:
As for Coley's daughter, thankfully she is better and the experience wasn't as traumatic for her as it was for her mother:
Make sure your kids' bus driver knows they must check the seats every time they park.
