NEW BRUNSWICK -- A bus driver has been charged with leaving a 9-year-old autistic child on a school bus for four hours Thursday, according to authorities.
Hardy Sannoh, 60, of New Brunswick, was arrested and faces a charge of endangering the welfare of the child, Middlesex County Prosecutor Andrew Carey said in a release.
Sannoh, a school bus driver from Accurate Transportation in Piscataway, drove the child to school in Piscataway Thursday morning but never escorted the 9-year-old off the bus, leaving him unattended from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., according to the release.
The child was then returned home without telling the parents, according to Carey.
