Disabled Man Left on Bus for 19 Hours

A 22-year-old East Harlem man with cerebral palsy was found, suffering from hypothermia, after spending nearly a day in a freezing bus. Edwin Rivera, who doesn't speak, should have been dropped off at home yesterday afternoon, after attending a program for the disabled, but apparently the driver forgot and brought the vehicle to the bus depot in Brooklyn. WCBS 2 reports that his parents reported him missing, but the bus company didn't find him when they searched last night. His parents joined the search this morning and found him—and his mother was happy and annoyed, "I'm so relieved and I'm so mad at the bus company for leaving him. He's not a kid. He's almost 6'2" how do you miss him?" Criminal charges may be filed against the driver.
