Letter Published in The National UAE on 9 Oct ober 14Child’s death is shocking
It’s a tragedy that all the efforts to ensure safety of schoolchildren failed to prevent another accident (School in mourning as girl, 3, dies after being locked in bus, October 8). A kindergarten pupil at an Abu Dhabi school died in similar circumstances in 2009.
Parents breathed a sigh of relief when Abu Dhabi brought in a series of school bus safety measures. But now it seems that those are inadequate. Ultimately what matters is our alertness and responsibility. In the absence of those, nothing can guarantee our safety.
I am sure the authorities will do their best to find out who was responsible. Meanwhile, I pray for the child’s family.
