Kids on buses all night is just stupid on several levels. First of all, in the metro area, there shouldn't be a single bus route over 5 miles. So we aren't talking about a school bus trying to get from Brookhaven to Woodstock, see?

What kind of fricking dead beat parents can't get walk from their house along the bus route until they find it, then get their kid and maybe the neighbor's kids and march their little asses back home in the snow?

What parents are sitting on their sofa, watching CNN, waiting for the government to swoop in with a magic pinwheel to deliver their cold hungry children back home?

Is there something I'm missing? Maybe if the parents are actually stuck in traffic, an hour away, and can't get to them, but that seems like it would be an isolated incident to me.

You're not missing anything...at what point as an adult do you grasp that subfreezing temps and moisture lead to bad conditions? Do you really need the mayor or gov to tell you that the roads are hazardous? Its not like this storm was a surprise.

Several friends of mine got their kids early and went home. Of course, we're native Georgians and don't rely on some Yankee to advise us as to when we can get our kids or when the roads are unsafe....
