Austic boy left on bus for 6 hours

Police have arrested a school bus driver and bus matron in the Bronx, New York for leaving a 3-year-old boy with autism on a bus for over 6 hours.

The driver, Terry Rocker, 25, of the Bronx, and the matron, Charlene Powell, 47, of Brooklyn, were charged with reckless endangerment, endangering the welfare of a child and endangering an incompetent person, the police said.

The police said the boy was reported missing shortly after 2 p.m. when his mother arrived at the boy’s school, Public School 194 at 2365 Waterbury Avenue and officials told her that her son never arrived at school that morning.

The police located the child, identified as Jose Marisol Lopez, on a school bus operated by Pinnacle Bus Company that was parked at the school. The child, according to reports, was suffering from dehydration and hunger. His identity was first reported by The Daily News.
