SHEPPARTON, AUSTRALIA: A furious woman is seeking answers after her three-year-old daughter was allegedly left buckled in her daycare center bus seat for five hours.

Alyza had severe dehydration after daycare center staffers "discovered" her in the bus. Seadon, a mother-of-three, lashed out at the facility in an emotional social media post. "I promise you will see me first thing Monday morning!! You f***ing incapable c****s left my f***ing 3-year-old daughter in the f***ing kindy bus all day from 9.15 til 3 pm," she wrote.
"She is in hospital and has to stay because she's not in a great way!!" Seadon's post continued, adding, "I'm so f*****g sad for my daughter. Imagine what she was feeling and screaming out for no one to come to help her!! Feeling so f*****g helpless." Gratefully, Alyza was released from the hospital on Saturday, March 11, as police launched an investigation into the matter. The director of Lulla's Children and Family Centre has contacted Seadon, but she claimed she did not get a thorough explanation of what transpired.
'It does need to be explained'
"How can you leave a kid in a kindy bus, how do you forget that?" Seadon told 9news, adding, "I know there's a clipboard there and I'm pretty sure the kids do get marked off when they get picked up. I don't know but it does need to be explained."
Alyza, according to Seadon, "clams up" while discussing the event and has been experiencing sleep issues as a result. “Alyza is doing well since being home but I still can tell it makes her sad about what’s happened when we talk about it,” she told news.com.au, adding, “We try not to bring it up with her as when we do she puts her head to the ground and it makes her sad. [She] just shuts down and doesn’t want to talk about it.”
