Dog Walk 4 - Bus stop boy.

Lately I've noticed there is a young student, not sure which school he attends but he wears a uniform (I'll take more note of it next time), and he waits at a bus stop for his private school bus. Nothing out of the ordinary there, but what I have noticed is that every morning, without fail, he is chaperoned by one of his parents. I had noticed that he would walk to the stop with his father on other mornings, and I'd noticed that they would stand on the corner together, again nothing out of the ordinary, until I was there when the bus arrived and dear old dad then walked off to work and he pretty much made sure his Son boarded the bus. This morning it was his mother with him, on the same corner, waiting for the bus. When I've seen his father there, they would usually be chatting, I don't hear anything as I'm in iPod nirvana. This morning, his mother was sort of standing with her back to him, he's sitting on the fence counting down the seconds I guess. I wonder what's going on there. The boy is probably 15 years of age. Why does he need a chaperon at the bus stop? Is that street so unsafe that the boy needs to be looked after? I hope not as I leave my daughter around he corner from there to catch a bus. Does he have a history of cutting school? Has he been caught smoking and this is his punishment?
