School officials are blaming a substitute bus driver for leaving a kindergarten student stranded eight miles from home.

Melissa Bean says a driver spotted her son Aiden crying on Tuesday and took him to his mother.

According to KUSA-TV (http://tinyurl.com/8p8lgj4 ), the Estes Park School District wants to know why district policies were not followed.

School officials told parents that drivers would not let kindergarten students off the school bus unless a parent is there. The bus driver has since resigned.
