Police say an investigation into how Nevaeh was left on the bus is under way and they are investigating whether “procedures may have been breached”.In a press conference on Thursday, Capricornia police district Det Insp Darrin Shadlow said Nevaeh was the only child who was picked up on Wednesday morning and had been transported by a bus driver and another staff member.
A person who identified as a friend of the family also wrote: “Thank you to everyone that has messaged, called or offered help at this horrendous time. Vaeh has Austin in her blood so is fighting her little heart out and has been raised by a tough woman.” “Families need to have peace of mind that when they send their children off to school, kindy or daycare, they will come home safe,” she said in a statement.
“As a result of this campaign, we have seen the numbers of children being left on buses significantly reducing. However, one child is still too many,” she said.
