National Assembly Delegate: Must strictly handle the case of a child left on a school bus

According to National Assembly delegates, the incident of a child being left on a school bus in Thai Binh is very heartbreaking. It is necessary to tighten procedures for school buses and handle the case strictly as a warning and deterrent.

Delegate Pham Van Hoa (Law Committee of the National Assembly ): In recent times, there have been many heartbreaking incidents involving children, such as kidnapping, abuse... Most recently, a child was left behind on a school bus... leading to serious consequences. This is a heartbreaking incident for the child's family. Putting yourself in the child's family's shoes, the pain can be said to be unbearable. From this incident, the process of picking up and dropping off children needs to be strictly tightened and warnings are needed. For drivers, they must comply with regulations; when handing over children, getting off the bus, they must check to see if there are any children on the bus. This issue is also regulated by law. School bus drivers must also comply with regulations on passenger transport business, and cannot fail to check to see if there are any students on the bus. Along with that, the teacher in charge of picking up and dropping off students must also check the vehicle when handing over students... Prosecuting the case and holding accountable those involved in this case is necessary to serve as a deterrent and prevent similar heartbreaking incidents from happening.

Delegate Le Thanh Van, Ca Mau National Assembly Delegation: In reality, there have been many cases of children being left behind on school buses, many of which have resulted in particularly serious consequences. Therefore, it is necessary to regulate the transportation of students to school by means of appropriate laws. The regulations on ensuring traffic safety and order (TTATGT) for cars carrying students in Article 46 of the Road Traffic Safety Law are appropriate to the regulated subjects. After this law comes into effect, there will be legal tools to help the authorities have a basis to handle violations effectively. Regarding the investigation agency initiating a case and prosecuting the teacher to determine the violation, it is necessary because in criminal science, the fault factor is the most important, including intentional and unintentional fault, in order to ensure strict sanctions.
