Okay, how many hours a day should a child spend on a bus before they need to be taken away from their parents? And does that time include the time it would take for a six-year-old to walk down a gravel road in arctic weather?

The same amount a school bus or a regular bus needs to get you to school.

That’s not a number of hours. You said four hours each way was child abuse. So how many hours does a child have to walk and ride a bus before it is child abuse?

Not sure why you hold my opinion on that in such high regard as it doesn’t matter but I would say the commute by bus shouldn’t be over an hour one way and the walk to the bus station shouldn’t be longer than 30 minutes. That would be my ideal at least if I was making any rules.

Got it. My wife was abused and should have been taken away from her mother. She had a 90-minute bus ride, but she didn’t have to walk through arctic temperatures because the bus was required by law to stop outside her house.
I’ll let her know that her mother was terribly abusive to her and cut off all contact with her granddaughter.
