A North Bay, Ont., mother is shocked after being told no charges will be laid against a school bus driver accused of sexually assaulting her now four-year-old daughter on her first day of school.
CTVNewsNorthernOntario.ca interviewed the mother, who we are not naming to protect the identity of her daughter, over the phone.
The single mother arrived at the school at 3:10 p.m. Sept. 5 to pick her daughter up from her first day of junior kindergarten in September -- just days before her fourth birthday-- only to learn she was mistakenly put on the bus.
She said she was told they weren't sure which bus she was on or which area it was in.
Initially, she said she was told no one could get a hold of the bus driver, but then was informed the driver would loop back around at the end of his route.
The girl was finally returned more than two hours after leaving school.
