7-year-old boy found dead on school bus: investigation underway
An investigation is underway to understand exactly what happened in Matoury, French Guiana, where a 7-year-old boy was found dead after being forgotten on a school bus.
According to initial reports, the vehicle on which the child was found did not have the badge system normally used to monitor students. The lack of this device was likely related to a change of bus. It is also unclear why no one checked to make sure no one was on board. Meanwhile, authorities have suspended service on the affected route, but the school where the child was found dead will remain open, according to Mayor Serge Smock. Meanwhile, psychological support has been provided to the students and teachers.
