The latest news of the Henry Timrod Elementary School in Florence turned out to be very different. Instead of having the eight-year-old boy wait for his mother in the car line, a school bus took him home. When she got there and saw he wasn't there, his mother freaked out. People who lived nearby and teachers and staff started looking. Thank God they found the child a little while later. They were okay, but they were obviously scared. The mix-up happened because someone made a simple mistake while talking to the kids after school, which can happen quickly in a busy school. But it made families who rely on those routines every day very worried. The school's principal met with the family soon after and apologized. District officials also reviewed safety procedures to make sure that checks were more strict during dismissal. Parents say they like how quickly the school acted, but they hope that the event will lead to lasting changes in how people talk to each other and take responsibility.
