absolutely -- and it is a systems problem -- it is a predictable outcome
if there is not a strict procedure in place to walk through the bus
checking for kids EVERY time the bus run ends.  It is perfectly
understandable and likely that occasionally a child will fall asleep and
be unobservable to the driver -- and thus there needs to be a routine
procedure to check on this.
