In a case that has grabbed worldwide attention, a Vancouver father of five is planning to mount a legal challenge over the right of his children to take public transit unsupervised.
Adrian Crook says he spent over two years grooming his four oldest children, who range in age from 7 to 11, to ride the city bus from downtown Vancouver to their school in the North Shore, a total of 13 kilometres. He made sure the children always carried a cellphone equipped with a GPS tracker, and the bus rides went without incident.
