Families in Memphis, Tenn., are fuming over some recent changes to the school district’s bus routes. In an effort to lower costs to the tune of $6 million, 200 bus routes were cut.
The changes could lead to longer walks home for some students and new dangers along the way. One parent recently discovered 18 registered sex offenders living in his area. The parents are understandably upset.
“What happens to these children today is what’s going to affect them in the long run and it’s going to scar them for life,” said one parent.
In the city of Memphis, there are 1,679 registered sex offenders, which creates numerous opportunities for dangerous situations.
