A 5-year-old girl in Vermilion Parish, Louisiana, got on a school bus ready for a day of summer school on Thursday, June 27, but she reportedly did not leave the bus until school was out — five hours later.
Staff left the girl on the bus after it transported her from Cecil Picard Elementary School to LeBlanc Elementary School around 7:30 a.m. local time, local outlet KATC reported.
Summer school wraps five hours later, at 12:30 p.m. So, as temperatures soared to 94 degrees, per data from The Weather Channel, and her classmates commenced school, the young girl apparently sat alone on the bus.
“She didn’t get breakfast, she didn’t get lunch, she was on that bus in this hot heat for five hours,” her mom, Donyel Rolle, told KATC.
The girl’s dad, Raynard Rolle, added: “That’s crazy, no child should have to go through that.”
