My fingers moved so rapidly that several words were misspelled.
The Route 24 driver refused to allow my nine-year-old daughter to leave at her assigned bus stop.
He shouted toward me, closed the doors, and departed while my daughter was visibly upset.
I believe this incident requires an immediate review of his responsibility for transporting children.
I selected the option requesting prompt administrative review.
Then I tapped Submit.
A confirmation number appeared onscreen.
I experienced a brief, uneasy sense of relief.
At least I had taken action.
Several minutes afterward, a deputy walked into the office.
He introduced himself as Deputy Reed.
He appeared to be in his early forties, speaking calmly while holding a small notebook.
“Mrs. Carter? Could I ask you several questions?”
“I want that driver arrested.”
“We’re investigating what occurred.”
“He drove away with my daughter.”
“Ellie is safe now, isn’t she?”
“That doesn’t excuse what happened.”
