A 67-year-old school bus driver in Maryland has lost her route after allowing a 10-year-old student to rescue an injured kitten from the side of a rural road, prompting parents and community members to campaign for her reinstatement.

The decision has drawn criticism from families who say Morgan had built strong relationships with the children she transported over the years.
