School bus leaves 6-year-old girl 20 miles from home
TAMPA (WFLA/CNN) — A Florida girl got on a school bus and was mistakenly dropped off 20 miles from her home.
Chenell Worlds, the 6-year-old girl’s mother, questions how this could have happened.
“My heart just dropped basically,” Worlds said. “I thought I was gonna die when I heard my daughter was lost again.”
Her little girl is a first-grader at Lee Magnet Elementary School in Tampa.
The child rode the bus for the first time on Monday and after school, somehow ended up in New Tampa.
Worlds said two teenage girls saw her daughter and called for help.
“They were asking her, ‘Do you live here? Do you live here?’ ” Worlds said. “They walked her down one street. Then, she finally told them, ‘I don’t live here.’ And that’s when they called their mother and told their mother, there’s a little girl, she doesn’t know where she lives.”
