“Unfortunately, they didn’t realize how much potential danger they were putting themselves in, or the distress they were causing their parents,” Transit Police said in a Facebook post.
Bus driver Ed Boleak contacted Transit Police and officers brought the children home.
Transit Police said the incident serves as a reminder of why it is important for the public to report any unusual activity they see on public transit.
