There has been heated discussion over what is an acceptable age to allow children to catch public transport alone after a five year old was found locked inside a bus at a southside depot after falling asleep
Associate professor Allan Ralph from Triple P Parenting states it depends on the individual child, while chief executive of Parents and Citizens Queensland Kevan Goodworth says the incident shows the need for vigilance.
Mr Goodworth continued by stating his belief that catching a bus is an exercise which can build resilience.
