New Normal:

It's safer to leave a 7 year old at the bus stop than to let him get on the school bus without a mask.

SHASTA COUNTY, Calif. - A local student left behind at the bus stop for forgetting his mask.

Like any other school day, Mohana Pescatore dropped her kids off at the bus stop before going to work.

“It was last Monday,” Pescatore said. “I had taken my children to the bus stop and the bus was within minutes behind me. I placed them at the bus stop and I drove to work.”

Moments after she got to work, Pescatore said she received a call from her 9-year-old son, Mason. Telling her that his 7-year-old brother, Carter, couldn't get on the bus. Pescatore said her other son, Mason, had already gotten on the bus.

“When Carter went to get on the bus, [the bus driver] said no you can't get on the bus without a mask,” said Mohana. “She told them that Carter had to get off the bus. Mason was not going to leave his brother there so he got off the bus also and walked him back home.”
