Driver, matron charged with leaving 5-year-old boy alone on bus
A bus driver and matron have been charged with child endangerment for leaving a 5-year-old learning disabled boy alone on a parked school bus for more than an hour, prosecutors said Thursday.
The boy was picked up at his home at 7:10 a.m. Tuesday to be taken to P.S. 118, the Queens district attorney's office said in a news release. A passer-by found him "crying hysterically" on the empty bus at about 10:20 a.m., the DA's office said.
