 Alert | So, she should keep on doing it until she hits a kid, then apologize?

Alert | | No, I am just saying she owes no one an apology. She should yield next time, but if she ever did hit a kid or come close, she should apologize to the kids' parents if anything, not her friend. The OP has nothing to do with whether her friend stops or not. Apologizing to the OP will not do anything. | | | |

She did it. Stop saying it was OK. I think she should apologize to the OP for trying to defend herself, when she is clearly in the wrong.
It's NOT clear. To me, it sounds like she began her turn before the bus driver put out the stop sign. So if this were the case, why would you expect her to apologize when the bus driver should have waited to put the stop sign out? In any case, the OP's description is written vaguely (now we know why) and is missing many details. | |

Again, maybe it's not the safest thing to do, but why is no one teaching these kids not to RUN across the street??</div>
I'm with you on this one. The law is the law, so I don't pass school buses when their lights are on...but in "ye olden days" we would have had the tar beaten out of us by our parents if we darted into the street or dared cross in front of the school bus. The rule then (and I was not aware it had changed) was that you waited for the bus to leave, then looked both ways and crossed when it was clear.
Maybe this should bother me more than it does, I dunno. I'm just really not sure why a few folks are up in arms about this particular incident. | | | |

The children are instructed to cross in front of the bus, while the bus is stopped with their sign out. | | | |

Alert | | I am a mother and a caring person. I would NEVER put any child in danger. Maybe I should not have gone (even though the lights and stop sign were not out when I turned) everyone has cloudy judgement from time to time. I have been driving since Aug. All I was saying in my post is the O.P would have been way more effective had she brought it to my attention personally. Asugirl I appreciate all of your logical posts. itsjustmandy, good for you to be so sure if you had something posted negative about you, that you would just sit and take it. I admitted it was me as I am not a coward and I believe it was a false and malicious post!! | |

Alert | perhaps they weren't friends?
either way, sounds like something bad could have happened and the person that did it should be more careful? maybe i'm wrong, but i think that was the point. | | | |

Don't be embarrased for me. I am embarrased for you. You see me EVERYDAY, our daughter's play together, and yet you feel the need to post about me on a public forum instead of confronting me to my face. You could have approached me and said, "I know you are a new driver, I saw something you did today that startled me". But no, you come on here and try to publicly humiliate me. What I did may have looked like I was disobeying the bus driver's signs. I was out in the intersection making a left turn, the driver was to my right on the opposite side of the road when the signals came on. I MADE SURE NO CHILDREN WERE IN MY LINE OF TRAFFIC. I would NEVER disobey warnings, knowingly putting a child in danger. Like GRANNY 56x even said EVERYONE make's mistakes. Maybe I made a mistake. I believe you made a bigger one by cowardly posting this!!</div>
I would have never known, if you didn't reply back.. lol...
You should have PM her or took the high road on this one. | |
Just doing it one day at a time. Change is good and it should be looked upon as an improvment! not a problem.

GilaGuy,
The children are instructed to cross in front of the bus, while the bus is stopped with their sign out.</div>
That just seems crazy to me. I am sure the powers that be feel that is the safer way to go, but crossing in front of anything is problematic. On one hand you've got an obstructed view with the bus being right there, and on the other you've got the chance of being run over if (heaven forbid) anything happened with the brakes on the bus, someone rear-ended it and shoved it forward, etc etc. How very strange. | | | |

Alert | Gila, I believe this is in response to some accidents where children somehow ended up under the rear wheels. At least this way the driver can be aware of how many children exited the bus and keep an eye on them until they are clear.
I think that the second story here is really about YZ posting what she thought was a serious issue instead of contacting the driver, whom she knew, directly. In the spirit of the holiday season, I would like to see the two of them find a way around their differences. Both are good people and it's a shame to have them mad at each other. What do you say, ladies? | |

Alert | | Not too mention if the girls play together, they are two children who shouldn't have to deal with adult drama. Hopefully, they are playing as usual and they know nothing | |

Alert | | I was very upset that this thread was started. I see YZ everyday as our children go to the same school. I wish she had came to me directly, but she felt the need to post. I can move on. My child of course is not involved in this, and the girl's had a good time together at soccer practice. DD, I am willing to sort this out! | |

Alert | Okay. Sorry for my week long absence. I’ve been in and out of the hospital. Nothing a little bed rest can’t fix, or so they say (rolling eyes)
I owe everyone an apology. In my ever increasing pregnant hormonal-ness, I typed before I thought.
My husband and I saw a law broken and a very potentially dangerous situation involving children. I have very little tolerance for law breakers lately, no matter who they are or whether it was intentional or accidental. I have called DPS about 5 times in the last week or so (since the #’s were posted) on swerving, distracted, dangerous drivers on the 347. I’ve also had to pull my car over and render aid to someone that was in an accident by someone who was distracted or otherwise breaking the law. My best friend back east has a baby in ICU right now because someone was too busy text messaging and didn’t notice the line of stopped traffic ahead of her and plowed into my friends car, very seriously hurting her infant. Very little tolerance these days, especially since this is an issue that had been addressed several times by other members of our online community. I mistakenly thought that it was a no-brainer to always err on the side of caution in such a situation, obviously I saw it differently.
Now, as soon as I see Jodi, I will say something to her (I’d send an email, but she removed me from her Myspace list). Yes, our kids go to the same school, Yes they play on the same soccer team. And no, I wouldn’t tell my kid “you can’t play with that little girl because her mommy did something wrong”. Puh-lease.
CNC – I didn’t report anything/post. I haven’t been on in a week. You offended someone else (wink)
So there you have it. Attack away.

Attack? Heck no. Not like none of us here have ever goofed before. ;-) You apologized, you said you'd talk to her (presumably to apologize in person), all seems well with the world.
PS - Glad to hear you are out of the hospital and feeling better! | | | |
