This first taste of independence can be a huge deal for kids in elementary school. This is especially true for kids in virtual school who were just returning to the classroom.
Something as simple as just getting on the bus and getting back off at your stop all alone can be a tremendous sense of freedom. For 6-year-old Colton, this was going to big a big day.
However, when he was supposed to be coming home in the afternoon, his older brother noticed that he never got off the bus. This was when the family began to panic.
Wondering where their child might have gone, the family frantically searched for him and called the school. As it turns out, Colton just made a small mistake.
Colton accidentally got off at the wrong bus stop and wandered around on the streets by himself. By the grace of God, a good samaritan noticed him and began an investigation.
She figured out his address and brought him back home to his worried family. The family was so thankful that she would go out of her way to help him out.
It can be scary when your 6-year-old finally has a little bit of freedom and does something on their own. This family is glad that this was handled before things got worse.
