(Freedom, PA) According to Beth and Anthony Gaus, their five-year-old granddaughter got dropped off at the wrong bus stop in Freedom on Monday afternoon on a bus from ABC Transit, which happened to be her first day of school. The destination of 4th Avenue and 6th Street was where the grandaughter of Beth and Anthony Gaus was supposed to be dropped off at, but at the time of the drop-off, she was not on the bus when it stopped there. The parents of this five-year-old girl also saw her on 3rd Avenue. According to Anthony Gaus: “The bus driver was very nonchalant about it. She didn’t even care that she was missing kids. I asked several times, and she was more worried about moving on than finding our kids, which was bothersome to both of us.” After speaking with one of the parents of that five-year-old girl, the Freedom Area School District superintendent told Channel 11 the drop-off location was a mistake and said a plan is now in place to prevent it from happening again.
