CHILD FOUND

Monday, May 15, 2006 07:43 PM

Prince George RCMP have found a three year old who was the subject of an intense search this evening.

3 year old Travis Pelland, failed to get off the day care bus this evening, and his parents contacted police.

Officers and a Police Service Dog were called in, and they combed the area around the South Fort George Daycare.

Turns out, Travis had gotten on the day care bus ( a 16 passenger van) unbeknownst to the driver, and fell asleep where he couldn't be seen.

Unaware that Travis was on the bus, the driver dropped off the other children and parked the van in a garage at the end of the day.

The Day Care and the Bus system will now be looking at developing a new protocol to track the children boarding the bus each day.

It surprises me that there wasn't a more proactive system already in place for the daycare bus. I would imagine that the driver should know how many children are on the bus at any given time.

These are children. If a parent has paid for the daycare service, it means they have trusted that organization with the well-being of their child. Do mistakes happen? Yes. Are they rectifying the situation? Yes. I am just happy that the situation ended well, when it could have been much worse!

The worry those poor parents went through!
