Mother detained on TTC bus because daughter was sleeping in stroller

The Toronto Transit Commission has apologized to an Etobicoke mother a week after she and her four-year-old daughter were detained on a bus when the driver suggested something might be wrong with the little girl.

Rebecca Clements was pushing her daughter in a stroller, when the driver asked to see the little girl. When she complied, the TTC employee told the mother to stay aboard the bus and blocked their exit.

Following a complaint to the TTC by Clements, TTC officials told Global News the bus driver was “concerned about the well-being of what appeared to be an unresponsive child.”

“I’m on alert. I’m nervous when I’m on the bus now, and I never used to be,” Clements said following the incident. Global’s Sean O’Shea has the story.
