After clicking on several of the many, many links in that article, that without exception all lead to completely unrelated topics, I’m still left with the question: what was the reason kids were stuck on the bus till 10p.m.?

Sounds like kidnapping

This is weird. While I was watching my daughter, a show came on telling children what to do in just such a case… basically, just beep the horn like mad person and this should help. I though “this really happening that much kids got a TV show explaining how to escape a locked school bus?” Now i see this article, crazy.
