A four-year-old girl in Sharjah was left alone on the school bus after the staff forgot to drop her off. According to the Khaleej Times, the girl, who fell asleep, was discovered crying by the bus conductor during the second trip taken by the bus for boys. The girl was on the bus from 6 to 8:40 am and later became ill, following which she was taken to a hospital for a check-up.
Fortunately, the girl survived without any harm. However, the girl's mother is now advising other parents to stay vigilant and regularly talk to bus drivers and conductors regarding their child's safety.
''At 7:30 am, the conductor called to inform me that my child fell asleep, was left behind on the bus, and couldn't reach the classroom. I told him to immediately drop her home, but he didn't. It was only when I called her teacher that she came to know about the incident. We rushed to the school by 8.15 am, but my daughter hadn't reached the classroom or school yet,'' the girl's mother recalled the incident.
