HARRIS COUNTY, Texas - A Cy-Fair ISD mother says she's still shaken after showing up to pick up her 7-year-old daughter - only to be told her child wasn't there.

Rataja Pruitt says her second-grader, Eli'sa, was mistakenly placed on a school bus instead of her assigned after-school program at Tipps Elementary.

For hours, the little girl was unaccounted for - and by the time she was found, she had been sitting outside alone, sweating and crying.
