To be cross with school bus leaving

DD12 attends a private school that has a bus service. Due to various reasons, I asked school if she can get the bus for the rest of this week. All confirmed and ok. DD went to the meeting place, bus arrived and said there’s no space for her, then drove off. Amazingly a child who always gets the bus got off with DD and took her to their house and asked the mum to give them both a lift. I am so cross that school haven’t contacted me and I would be none the wiser had this other parent not let me know. Have left a message with school but I’m so cross and wonder if I’m unreasonable to be so cross. I’ve got a very stressful week so unsure if I’m over reacting and anyway not sure what they can do to rectify it now.

Can you reply, copying in the school governor? I honestly feel it was sheer luck that the other girl got off to be with her, and luck that her mum was able to drive them in. What if she’d have been left alone at the bus stop? What’s to prevent it happening to another girl?

@Pineapplepink
Honestly it sounds like he's brushing over the issue.
Definitely phone in bag, even if you have parental controls on it. And no social media.

I was in a supposedly nice shopping street today in a city centre and passed a phone box, covered in graffiti, and a guy smoking in it. Honestly I wouldn't have wanted to go near it with a barge pole.
And with loads of folk about.
