Boy, 2, rides Wales-England bus alone

MONTGOMERY, Wales, June 28 (UPI) -- Authorities in Britain said a 2-year-old's solo bus ride from Wales to England led to the arrest of two people on suspicion of child neglect.

Michael Morris of Tanat Valley Coaches and Motors, said the boy, dressed only in his pajamas and a diaper, boarded the bus in Montgomery, Wales, and the driver and fellow passengers did not realize he was unaccompanied until the vehicle arrived in Shrewsbury, England, 28 miles from where it started, Sky News reported Monday.

"The little boy was not crying or upset or anything. He seemed to be enjoying his journey into Shewsbury," Morris said.

He said the driver notified authorities and purchased fresh diapers and wipes for the boy.

"The driver is a very experienced and caring guy and I don't think he would have thought anything untoward about the situation when the boy got on," he said.

The Dyfed Powys Police Public Protection Unit and Powys County Council Children's Services team said they are investigating the incident and two people have been arrested on suspicion of child neglect.
