FIRST STUDENT FAILURE: Why a 9-Year-Old Boy Was Left Lost and Scared in Rochester NY

Описание: This episode of School Bus Talk is a reaction to a news report from Rochester, New York from January 14, 2026 where a 9 year old boy is dropped off at a new bus stop by a First Student school bus driver and became lost because the boy did not know his way home. The lost boy and his rescue by police is captured on surveillance video. The boy's mother, Marla Acevedo, shares her terrifying experience when she realized that her son was missing. The boy was riding the bus for the first time after a change in address. Mrs. Acevedo says that she double checked with the school about the new address. First Student is the largest school bus company in the USA. The First Student dropped off the boy at an unfamiliar location and he became lost and scared. He was missing and lost for over 60 minutes before asking a convenience store clerk to call 911. The police came and rescued the lost boy. He was driven home in the back of a patrol car. It is fortunate that the boy got home safely, because the potential outcome of the First Student school bus driver's failure could easily been much worse. The First Student school bus driver was placed on paid leave pending disciplinary action. It appears that First Student screwed up.
