School Bus Safety Concerns in MA and DE

Two separate incidents involving school bus drivers have raised significant concerns about student safety. In Newark, Delaware, a bus driver abandoned ten Newark Charter School students in an unfamiliar neighborhood, leading to police and school intervention to ensure their safe return. Meanwhile, in Newton, Massachusetts, Justin Vose, a school bus driver, faces three kidnapping charges for allegedly taking young children to secluded areas and photographing them without permission. This incident, involving children aged 3 to 5 with communication difficulties, prompted a formal investigation after suspicious GPS data was discovered. Vose is scheduled to be arraigned later this month, highlighting the importance of stringent monitoring and background checks for school transport personnel.
