School Bus

School Bus... My 5 yr. old daughter started school this week, (kindergarten) she loves school, and she's driving me crazy about riding the "school buses" as she calls it.. BUT I'm not to thrilled about her riding the bus just yet.. plus I keep hearing these horror stories everyday on the news of kids getting ran over, bullied, etc. Am I being paranoid or is she just too "young" to ride the bus?
