'Oh my god this kid is dead, I've left a child on the bus all day... I am so sorry.” 9News

After returning to the centre, police say Mr Lewis found the boy's body about 3.15pm, just before the afternoon run home, and called triple zero.

A prosecutor today told the court the boy had been fraudulently signed into the centre's attendance system and staff had noticed he wasn't there but no alarm was raised. The boy's body was found on the bus, which had been parked for the day outside Hambledon State School."Police have liaised with the family, and the broader family in Townsville," , Acting Detective Inspector Jason Smith said.

"We can confirm that we have a senior manager from Goodstart in Cairns who is working closely with the Queensland Police family liaison officer to ensure we do all that we can to support the family of the little boy during this tragic time," the company said in a statement.

So sad for that small child is life worth nothing these days

Soo sad prayers to the family.

Not really the type of thing you say when your negligence kills a kid

This is not even half the story....CHILD is DEAD plz excuses excuses...Australia needs to toughen its laws Life in prison that’s it no question 🙅‍♀️the child was signed in?

Life without parole should be the sentence. My bet is it won’t be.

Appalling neglect of duty. Criminal.
