Thank you!

Silver lining ... I haven't worn real pants in 18 months, and it looks like I won't need to for several more months!

"Now, I hope and pray our kids don't get deathly ill or we don't lose any children," Crosby told WCSC anchor Raphael James afterward. "But you know what? That's not my -- that's up to God."

STFU.

Dorchester School District Two board member Barbara Crosbywas involved in a potential child endangerment incident on September 1.

Dorchester County Sheriff's Office released a report on the incident today. Officers say Crosby left her 9-year-old and 4-year-old grandchildren in her car. Crosby told security guards they were in the car when she arrived at the DD2 Adult Learning Center for a meeting. One security guard told her she could not leave them there, but she continued into the building.

DD2 Director of Security Preston Giet and a deputy found the car running in the parking lot with the windows locked. The deputy was going to break the car's windows, referring to the situation as a "major safety hazard," but Giet was able to convince the kids to unlock the vehicle. The oldest child told Giet their mother was coming from West Ashley to pick them up.

Afterward, a security guard watched the kids for approximately 20 minutes until their mother arrived.

The oldest child said they had been exposed to COVID-19 and could not enter the building.

The children were not placed in protective services. An investigation will determine if a law was broken.

No charges were filed against Crosby.

Crosby was the only school board member to vote against the decision to send DD2 to virtual learning amid high COVID-19 cases.

Crosby told ABC News 4 the kids were in the car, but a security guard was watching them, waiting for their mother to pick them up.

A Dorchester District 2 school board member who answered a COVID-19 question posed by Live 5′s Raphael James by saying, “God decides who lives or dies,” is now being investigated for allegedly leaving her grandkids in a car as she was late to a board meeting which she later walked out of.


Crosby would later walk out of that meeting and discuss her thoughts on that issue with James in a video interview which can be seen below.
The sheriff’s office investigation started when a deputy at the district heard loud banging from the door of the center, and when he opened the door, Crosby entered the building and said she was late. The sheriff’s office report states that Crosby told the deputy that she left her car in the parking lot with her 4-year-old and 9-year-old grandchildren inside the vehicle.

DCSO officials said that Crosby also informed a district security officer who then told Crosby she could not leave the children in the car. According to the report, Crosby proceeded past him and into the board room while directing the security officer “to go watch them.”

The security officer then told his supervisor and the Dorchester County deputy of the situation who both went out to the parking lot and saw the car which was running with all of the doors locked.

The supervisor and deputy saw the two children with the female child still strapped into the car seat. When the deputy told the security supervisor that it was a “major safety hazard” and that he would forcefully enter the vehicle in order to get the kids, the supervisor went into the building to get the vehicle keys from Crosby who was seated at the board meeting.

The report states Crosby told the supervisor that the keys were “still in the car somewhere.” The supervisor then returned to the car and convinced one of the children to unlock the door.

The supervisor then turned off the car and removed the children. He reported that when he offered to take the children to their grandmother, the older child said they could not enter the building because they had been exposed to COVID, and also said their mother was coming from West Ashley to get them.

According to the report, the supervisor then asked a security officer to watch them until their mother arrived twenty minutes later.

There have been no COVID-19 outbreaks in San Francisco schools since students and educators went back into classrooms on Aug. 16, the San Francisco Department of Public Health announced Thursday, noting that about 90% of children ages 12 to 17 are fully vaccinated.

An outbreak, the department said, means there are "three or more cases in non-related households in which the source of infection occurred at the school, and not another setting."

While the department reported there have been 227 COVID-19 cases — out of 52,000 students and nearly 10,000 staff — the "vast majority" of those cases are occurring outside of schools.


Serious forms of pediatric COVID-19 are even more rare, with less than five children hospitalized for the virus at any given time in San Francisco. There are currently no children who are hospitalized for COVID-19 in the city, the health department said.

The data in San Francisco comes as the spread of COVID-19 among children rises in the country, especially in the last month as students head back to school for in-person learning.


The San Francisco health department also emphasized that vaccinations "are our best defense to protect children," noting most pediatric cases of COVID-19 in the city came from unvaccinated adults in a household getting the virus and spreading it to unvaccinated children.
