Parents didn’t know where their children were for nearly an hour on Thursday, and they say the police were too busy protecting Joe Biden to help them.
Youngstown, Ohio parents vented their frustration at a bus stop to a TV reporter who was covering the vice president’s visit on behalf of Hillary Clinton.
Kids arrived to their bus stop over an hour late as parents nervously waited to pick them up.
“We didn’t know where our kids was,” parent Jason Riley tells WKBN.
“There was some kids that got dropped off over on the next street and they lived over here,” he says. “They weren’t supposed to be over there, the lady found her kids over there and we didn’t know where ours was.
Riley said the parents were “freaking out” because when they inquired with the police, he said he was told they were “protecting the vice president.”
The parent adds they were prevented from leaving their neighborhood because Biden was nearby.
“They didn’t tell us that they’d be blocking the neighborhood off,” he tells the news station.
Riley says he had to park “almost a mile away” and walk to the bus stop.
He says his daughter was “scared” because she was forced to sit on the bus for an extra hour.
