Colorado Substitute Bus Driver Fired After Abandoning Dozens of Children
A substitute bus driver in Douglas County, Colorado, was fired after dropping off approximately 40 elementary school children at the wrong stop, miles from their homes, prompting a police investigation. Parents reported the driver’s erratic behavior, including yelling at the children and driving erratically before abandoning them at a busy intersection in cold weather. Several children were picked up by strangers, and many are now afraid to ride the bus again. The school district is cooperating with the investigation but cannot release bus video footage at this time.
