What Would You Do?

LAVERN SIMMONS

As I pulled into a doughnut shop drive-through line, I noticed two little girls sitting on a curb in the parking lot next to the drivethrough. They were wearing backpacks and appeared to be about seven and five years old. I was familiar with the area and observed that the school buses had already made their morning rounds.

After I purchased my doughnuts, I drove to the little girls and asked why they were sitting there. With hesitation, the oldest replied, "We're waiting for the blue bus." I had no clue what the blue was and I was late for work.

Late for work or not, I couldn't leave the girls sitting there. Careful not to scare them, I decided to wait at a safe distance for the arrival of the blue bus. As more cars began to line up for doughnuts, I pulled a little closer to the girls for safety measures. I noticed the male driver of the car closest to the girls appeared to be recording or taking pictures of them. He then engaged in a conversation with the oldest girl.

What happened next? What did Lavern Simmons do? Did she do anything? What would you have done?
