A mother is demanding action after her daughter was left behind by her school bus during a field trip to a pumpkin patch last month, reported WRTV.

According to the news report, 6-year-old Cianni Allen was found wandering alone in the pumpkin patch at Tuttle Orchards in Greenfield, Indiana, after she was left behind during a school trip for two hours.

Allen’s classmates and teachers reportedly boarded a bus and traveled 26 miles back to school without her.

Allen’s mother, Dearra, was alerted when she received a panicked call from staff at Christel House Academy West regarding the incident. She rushed to the school while a teacher went to pick up Allen at the orchards.

Dearra told local news reporters that despite the school’s apologies and their “attempt to keep her quiet” she is not letting this go and has contacted lawyers. She says the class left the orchard at 2 p.m. and arrived back at the school at 2:45 p.m. Staff did not realize Allen was missing until the patch called the school and notified them.

Allen reportedly returned to school at 4:30 p.m., almost two hours after the rest of her classmates.

A 6-year-old Liberty Elementary School student fell asleep on his school bus and woke up to find himself alone, reported WSMV 4.

According to the news report, the Tennessee Clarksville-Montgomery County school bus was transporting the child to his school when he fell asleep and did not unload from the bus with the other students.

The bus driver reportedly drove the bus back to the parking lot after the morning drop-off and failed to thoroughly check the bus, as the district requires to be done after each route.

The child remained unattended on the bus until a maintenance worker noticed the boy was still on the bus and took him back to school. The parents were reportedly notified by the school and briefed on the incident.

According to the article the driver was placed on an alternative worksite, pending investigation by the school district’s human resources department.
