Locked in the school bus - little girl died in the UAE

A little Indian girl died in the UAE on Oct. 7  . She slept on the bus while going to school .She was forgotten there ."It is not my

mistake says the driver " I was not even allowed to talk to the pupils " True that there was a supervisor on board . She

failed to check as well - to do this one minute job ...it was right after Eid .. said the receptionist whose job would

have been to check if all the kids who entered the bus arrived at school ....so many kids were absent - I realized only

late that there is a girl missing ...one minute job ..which make the difference between life and death ....she is not the

first little student forgotten .. it happened to Sarah Gazdhar in Doha some years ago and there were other kids ...my kid

was one of them -she was lucky -she could open a window and scream for help - and such things are happening over and over

again because the safety of kids of cheaper schools is not a priority ...principals can hire from the street a driver/ a bus supervisor and the authorities overlook those flaws ...
