What happened to parent Kerry Giorgio Monday is what every parent fears at the bus stop.

"All the children got off the bus except for my children," said Giorgio.  "I asked the bus driver where my children were and he wasn't sure."

Neither were Kerry Giorgio's children, ages five and seven years old.

It was the second day of school. It turns out the students got off one stop too soon.

"The bus left and they were standing there scared and alone," said Giorgio.

The students told their mom that they walked two blocks, and found a stranger to call home. 

"My son started crying he was very upset he can't even talk about it.... he was scared," said Giorgio.

School advocates are scared this could become a trend. This isn't the first time.

Officials like Mike Reilly, President of Community Education Council 31, are calling on the Office of Pupil Transportation to adopt a policy for children in general education, in kindergarten through third grade.

The policy is called Parent Not Home".  Currently it only applies to bus drivers of special education students.  

"The policy for special education students is a parent has to be there, [the driver] makes sure the student gets off at the right spot," said Reilly.

Reilly said one solution is color coding each stop. For instance, if a stop is labeled blue, each student that gets off at that stop would have a blue marking on their backpack.

Some parents said there needs to be another adult, in addition to the driver, on the bus.

"I think they should put school bus matrons on anything from kindergarten to third grade," said parent Freddy Remmelkoor, who says his daughter got off at the wrong stop last year.

"My granddaughter is four-years-old.  How are they supposed to know?" said grandparent Teresa Trovello.  "I get confused when I get off the bus sometimes."

Reilly said students can choose to stay on the bus if they don't know when to get off.

And as for Monday's incident, The Department of Education said it's investigating.​

In a statement, DOE spokesperson Michael Aciman told NY1: "This incident is being investigated and we will ensure appropriate follow-up action is taken. We value community feedback and will continue working with schools, families and local CEC's to ensure concerns around busing are addressed."
