A group of Calgary parents are looking for answers after their kids’ school bus went missing earlier this week — with their kids in tow.
It’s not unusual for a group of Valley View elementary students in southeast Calgary to be dropped off or picked up late, but Tuesday wasn’t a typical case of a late school bus.
Madiha Fahim tells CityNews she was waiting at the normal bus stop with about 25 other very confused and frantic parents at the end of the day Tuesday.
That’s when she called First Student transportation, the bus provider, to see what was going on.
“Dispatch is telling me the kids have been dropped off, and I’m like ‘no they haven’t,’” she says. “The dispatch guy got really confused.”
She says the dispatch person put her on hold and then came back on the phone and told her the group of kids between the ages of five and 10 were dropped off at the wrong location.
The dispatcher told her he was trying to get in touch with the bus driver to go back and get the kids.
“I was like ‘what do you mean?’” she says. “My soul left my body.”
