The facts underlying some negligent supervision cases by schools and their bus companies really irk me someitmes.

According to a recently filed lawsuit, after being left at a different - and wrong - bus stop for a second straight day, a 10-year-old special needs student decided was left with little choice but to try to get home from that location. Unfortunately for him, it was far from a safe location, and when trying to make his way home, he was hit by two passing vehicles. As a result of the accident, the boy sustained serious personal injuries, including a concussion as well as broken bones in his arms and legs.

Undoubtedly, mistakes happen. But this, like leaving kids on buses, is patently unacceptable.
