MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- An 18-month-old boy was recovering in the hospital Thursday after being left behind in a school bus for more than three hours as temperatures hovered below zero, authorities said.
Antonio Jackson was listed in good condition at Children's Hospital.
The boy, dressed in a snowsuit, was ``somewhat responsive'' when he was found shortly before 10 p.m. Wednesday, police Lt. Kevin Stoll said. Firefighters had to break the door of the parked bus to rescue him.
The temperature was 4 below zero when the boy was found and dipped to 11 below overnight.
Stoll said the boy's mother apparently called and left a message about 6:30 p.m. at an early childhood center, saying the boy had not been dropped off at home.
A staff member received the message later and notified other co-workers, Stoll said. After a brief search, they discovered the boy on the locked bus and called 911.
