This morning I was shocked beyond belief when I noticed a school van (TN-10-B-9934), a private one, loaded with school children around 9:15am in the nungambakkam (chennai) area. Noticing a school van at that time of the day and location is quite common, so what was shocking? The fact that one of the rear wind shields (1 of the 3, the centre piece actually) was missing. And children were actually waving at the vehicles coming behind them.
How could the driver do this? Did none of the parents notice this or were they just too busy to care.
Think for a moment, when we drive our kids around in our cars we are careful enough to use the child locks, reprimand them if they put their hands, heads outside the windows. While we are well aware that the kid can't just fall "off" the window. But, here we have parents who have boarded their children into a van which has a window missing that is about 3 times the size of the kids inside. All it requires for a child to fall off is for them to stand and the driver to break hard. Both are not so uncommon.
Nonsense prevails!! Believe it.
Please forward to every parent or to be parent.
