First-grader dropped off at wrong bus stop

Porsha Garrett said that for more than 30 minutes Thursday, no one knew where her son, Omarion, was.

"I was kinda scared,” Omarion Garrett said.

Garrett said it all began when she went to pick up Omarion at his bus stop Thursday after his first day of school at Stough Elementary on Edwards Mill Road in Raleigh.

“My son isn't here. I am waiting. I am standing. I am standing. I am waiting,” Garrett recalled.

Garrett called Stough Elementary and said she was told school officials did not know where Omarion was either.

Garrett said an identification card Omarion's school uses helped find her son. All Wake County kindergartners and first-graders got an identification card on the first day of school this year. It has the school's name, student's name, bus stop location and route printed on it.

"The first day I sent my son to school, I don't even know if he is going to come back,” Garrett said.

One bus driver resigned and the other was disciplined. In response to the incidents, every bus driver attended a training session over the summer. It re-emphasized the procedures and practices for picking-up and dropping-off students.

School officials said they are investigating Omarion's incident.
