Thats definitely a good point. I remember my Jr. High School bus stop being full of unruly kids AND there was a bunch of us. Luckily, it was in a laundromats parking lot, so we didn't really bug anyone.
However, the person who complained didn't call the school to complain about the location of the bus stop, they called to complain about an illegal daycare center. If all they were trying to do was eliminate a noisy bus stop, then they took it a step further than I would have ever thought of doing. But really, I dont think that was the case. For one thing she is only watching three extra kids and they are grade-schoolers. Also, it states in the article that she brings them into her home for the hour before the bus arrives, which is at her driveway. If this was next door to me, I dont think I would even notice. But if by chance they were being too noisy, I would not have a problem asking her to keep a lid on the kids....please. She lives in a rural subdivision. I would think that she knows her neighbors. But, like you said, you never know.
I was actually considering that maybe the person who complained runs their own daycare center. Maybe it irked them that these parents found a way around using it. Who knows?
