An Osceola County mother said her son left school at the end of the day, but he didn't end up at home. Instead, he ended up about a block away from the school before being found by a good Samaritan.
Vanessa Rhodes says her 8-year-old, Dominic, walked away unnoticed from Ventura Elementary School. She said it was unacceptable that this was allowed to happen as Dominic, who has disabilities, is supposed to have one-on-one supervision from a staff member to make sure he gets to the car safely.
"As a parent, when you know something is wrong, you get that gut feeling, and I had that instant gut feeling that he wasn’t in the school," Rhodes says.

Special needs son made to sit on floor: Mom
An Indiana family flew to Florida for a wish trip, to take their son with disabilities to Disney World, but their trip went from magical to difficult when checking in with TSA on their flight home. The Carter family travels with tons of medical equipment to make sure their 5-year-old son Easton is safe. He’s spent most of his life in the hospital, so this trip was really special.
An Indiana family flew to Florida for a wish trip, to take their son with disabilities to Disney World, but their trip went from magical to difficult when checking in with TSA on their flight home.
The Carter family travels with tons of medical equipment to make sure their 5-year-old son Easton is safe. He’s spent most of his life in the hospital, so this trip was really special.
She says their trip was perfect, until the flight home to Indiana.
"I said I had a letter of medical necessity for my son that we had a lot of medical equipment and things like that," said Carter.
Part of that equipment is a medical stroller. It looks like a regular one but acts as a more comfortable wheelchair for kids. The Orlando Sanford International Airport even tagged it as a wheelchair to make things smoother for the family while going through TSA security. And she has a doctor’s note saying for her son's safety he needs to be in the stroller. But carter says the TSA agent told her this.
"He said we don’t go by the tags, we gage that ourselves and decide who is going to stay in it or stay out," said Carter.
Not only did her husband have to carry her son through a metal detector, but Carter says it took a supervisor nearly 45 minutes to inspect the stroller, so her son was sitting on the floor while TSA went through their bags, and she almost missed her flight.
