Unlikely she was specifically tracked. More likely an AirTag was in someone else's things, and was separated from that child's parent's devices and as such issues a warning on your daughter's device. It probably issued the same warning on other devices from other kids in the school bus since it was apparently traveling without its paired device which belongs to a parent.


Contact the parents from the other children to let therm know that sending an AirTag with their kids, is not a good idea because it issues these warnings.
