School bus leaves young children stranded, 'kilometres' from home
Kia ora neighbours, children as young as 5 were left to find their own way home after they were made to get off their school bus onto a busy road with no footpath.
The children were heading home from Oratia District School on Monday when the bus they were on was unable to drive onto Piha Rd due to another bus breaking down and blocking the road.
