PORT RICHMOND - A local mom says her teen with autism was dropped off at the wrong bus stop, then disappeared.
He was missing for days and his outraged mother is speaking out and demanding answers."I was just happy to see him. To make sure that he’s okay," Rocquel Jones stated. "To be reunited with him was just great."A huge relief for Jones, who says her autistic son was missing for at least two days.
The last time she saw him was Monday morning, when he left the house to get on the school bus.Her 19-year-old son is a student with special needs at Kensington Health Sciences Academy.
The School District of Philadelphia says on Monday afternoon, he was dropped off at the wrong stop."The bus driver had already told us three different stories," Jones said.A spokesperson says the district was using a substitute company and driver from Total Transportation.
