An incident that could have had a tragic outcome occurred yesterday Monday (13/5) in Kifissia with a child of just 4.5 years old being left forgotten for hours inside a school bus.

As the father of the child reported to the authorities, he handed his child over to the school bus on Monday morning around 8:00 in order to be taken to the kindergarten.

It appears that the child fell asleep in the back seats so that no one noticed that he never got off the vehicle.

Eventually the child remained in the school bus for approximately 6 hours and around 2:00 p.m. was located by the driver.
