How did this happen ?

 

Apparently it was a 35 C day.

Perhaps the child wandered into the bus and couldn't get out.

Parents have a mini-bus pick up their toddler and take them to daycare?

Child was left on the bus.
Why didn't someone make sure all children were off.
That's why I asked how it happened

How come nobody missed him?  Surely you have to count the kids getting on, then count them getting off.

The driver might have been wearing shoes. 1-10, then many.

So two people failed to ensure that all the children were off the bus.
Pretty sad that two people could be that incompetent and no one else wasn't concerned that a child that obviously was regularly attending wasn't there that day

The child was just 3 years old....somebody must have put him in a child restraint of some sort....why would they not have checked that he had been removed when they reached their destination.

 

It is only a mini bus.....a glance from the front of the bus should have revealed that there was still a child there.

as readers of shocking news stories we allways have the 'why' questions which we rarely hear an answer to.

like the lady and her kids that exhubby set on fire, why were they in a car with him with a can of petrol?

havent heard any reason, just lots of stories of how nuts the guy was.
