5-Year-Old Girl Left Behind on Field Trip

Words cannot describe the horror I felt as I read this. This child was only 5 years old! I cannot imagine leaving a child this young alone.

5-Year-Old Girl Left Behind on Field Trip original story here

MYRTLE BEACH (AP) -- Authorities say a 5-year-old is safe after she was left behind during a field trip in Horry County.

The Daisy Elementary School student was visiting Chapin Park on Friday when she failed to get on a bus back to school.

The girl's mother tells WPDE-TV that her daughter said she walked up to what she said was a nice man at the park and asked him for help finding her teacher. He then called the school, and the principal rushed back to the park.

School officials say the teachers did a head count before leaving, but must have made a mistake.

The school will now have its teachers call roll before the buses leave.

NOW they will take roll??!! What the blazzes do they mean NOW they will take roll? What on God's green earth were they doing in the first place NOT taking roll to make sure all the kids were there. And they have the nerve to tell parents like me that they can better educate and care for my child!!!!!!!!! This is just beyond words.

And we all know that some kid on that bus told the teacher,

[

"Miss Jones! Miss Jones! Miss Jones! MISS JONES!!"

"Oh, for heavens sake Johnny, What is it now? Please be quiet for just a moment."

"But Miss Jones, little Jane is not here."

"Yes she is, I have counted. She is here somewhere."

"But Miss Jones!"

"Please Johnny, you have caused enough trouble. Oh, when will his parents but him on ritalin?"

[

Thank the Lord for the "nice man" that helped her. In today’s world, the chances are that the man that helped her would have been a child molester. It was by the grace of God that a good Samaritan was there at that time.

Ummm... please tell me that there was a bit more disciplinary action than just telling the teachers to take roll from now on. Right? I mean, you can't just lose a kid and still be a teacher, can you?
