The bus driver dropped the child off at an intersection, because he was misbehaving. The driver told the boy he would return in a half an hour. When the driver returned the boy was gone.
The bus driver contacted the child's mother, but she was unaware her son was abandoned. Police say, due to the child's condition, he should not have been allowed off the bus. Officers and employees of Talbot County Public Schools were able to locate the child within minutes in good health.

I somehow think that this is not the accepted protocol for dealing with a 10 year old who is acting out.
Wow.
No kid should ever be abandoned alongside the road. No doubt he was being a danger to himself and others, but "special" kids get a pass on their behavior. The driver should have stopped the bus, called the police, and waited there until they arrived to remove the kid. Then his mother could have retrieved him from the police, and hopefully he learned a lesson from that.
The video from the school bus will be interesting.
On a positive note, Talbot County schools have bus driver and special needs bus monitor position openings.
Lawsuit!!!!!!!!!!
No doubt of a lawsuit. Hardly any doubt that the payout will be in the six figures.
Too many special needs children these days.Parents ignore everything from Doctors pre natal advice to their own family history & insist on having children regardless of the consequences.Against the better judgement of trained professionals who advise them not to have the child they are carrying they go ahead with it anyway promising to love the child regardless.Then pursuant to birth EVERYONE who has any role in the spectrum of care is subject to scrutiny.Parents need to subject THEMSELVES to scrutiny and cut the caretakers some slack.
special needs is code for certain socio-economic groups! figure it out!
True 10:57. Drug abusers/alcoholics then the baby is born addicted or with fetal alcohol syndrome which both have life long consequences. Then in order to not offend the POS mother they say the kid is "autistic." The kids are no more autistic then the man in the moon. This also allows for schools to give modified tests when someone is labeled "autistic" which makes for higher test scores. Autism is real but if a child has it they are severely disabled and wouldn't be able to attend school. It makes me sick that these so called "mothers" allow their children to be labeled for the benefit of them, the schools and the drug companies.
At 10 years old, most kids can babysit siblings with responsibility for a few hours. A 10 year old that can't be on a bus for a half hour without losing their self control really shouldn't be in the same class with students who want to gain an education. Honestly, this why we need detention type schools for mentally challenged students like this one. And buses with individual cells for the ride home!
I would say most have no idea what parents with special needs go thru on a daily basis, and unless you have to handle their situations you have no right to judge. Regardless of the child's needs or mental capacity they should be afforded the same rights and dignity that you get. Some should ask their self how you would like to be dropped off on strange corner not knowing were you are or what might happen.
