A spokesperson for the bus company stated, “As per our company policy, she did not permit the student to exit the bus; rather, she contacted dispatch immediately and transported the student to the correct bus… Unfortunately, the driver misunderstood that she was to return to the school to pick up the correct student. We sincerely apologize to the student and his parents for this misunderstanding.” Little Javier did make it home safely, but his mother is furious. Erica stated, “If it were a sex offender, that child would have never been able to scream or yell to let them know this is the wrong person.” The school district a conducting a full investigation into the matter.
