The bus driver needs to be facing criminal charges and definitely needs to lose his job. The transportation supervisor needs to be facing criminal charges and fired as well.
I drive a bus and don’t know any driver who would do this. You find out where they live and take them there or bring them back to school. Not that difficult.
When I was driving school buses in Australia and if a student was on the bus at last stop because they missed their stop. Policy was to keep children on bus and radio in to the Depot advising of situation and to wait instructions. I've been advised to drive students back to the school and walk them into the office, for senior students it varied. But the safety of the students was the number 1 priority & never would I just dump a child like the driver in this video did.
Exactly. I would just bring them back to the school and have the school get the parents to pick them from the school. I mean I have had to take kids back to a school before and like you said it's not that hard
@@c.r.mcleod8959our policy is to return the kids to school if no one is waiting for them though we hafta call the school before bringing them back to the school so that someone from the office will be waiting with them for their parents
If my mom was still here this is something that she would have done and made sure that those two kids got home safely. Ages ago in Kmart she found a boy lost in the store and took him to the desk so they could page his mom. The kid happened to be someone who was in nursery school with me and my mom told me about it. Small world.
Thank goodness for that little boy who took those two boys home with him! How scary for those two brothers! Can’t believe an ADULT bus driver did this! Why didn’t he/she just call the school and tell the supervisor that two boys were at the end of the bus route and inquire where their stop was or if they were even on the right bus! Appalling! How would they feel if it was their kids being dumped somewhere they weren’t familiar with and that young!
With all the kidnapping of children walking home from school, that bus driver should be fired. If she is the same driver for the first 2 days of school and then on the third did this, then yes, fire her.
Not surprised at all the new Braunfels ISD was allowing children to harass my child on the bus and refused to do anything about it. For This among other things I did pull my child out of the new Braunfels ISD and I am homeschooling.
With the amount of political indoctrination and "woke" nonsense in the schools today, everyone should be teaching their own kids. Glad you made the sane choice. I was bullied and harassed relentlessly after starting public school in 3rd grade until my parents sent me to private school when I in 9th grade. And that was 28 years ago. The public schools do not care about anything except their money and teaching kids nonsense while real topics of study are ignored. If you are a victim, they blame you for being a "troublemaker" and bringing it on yourself.
It's common sense if that's not the kids bus stop you either take him back to the school and notify the parents to pick up the kids or you find his bus stop. This bus driver needs to be fired for the lack of common sense.
It's 2024. They don't have a way to confirm that students are dropped off at their right stop? It could be a text message system or something for small kids. Either the bus driver, parent, or both could be responsible. And there should be an alert at the station if confirmation isn't received within a reasonable period of time. If Johnny should be dropped off by 3:05, Tommy by 3:15, Jane by 3:25, an alert should go off at the bus depot 15 minutes after scheduled dropoff time is missed. The bus driver and parent should be called by the dispatcher right away. Problem solved.
This happened in Pennsylvania in the 1990s to an elementary school child left in our neighborhood. My teenage kids were home and saw the child. They brought her to our house and called me. I left work and called the police to get to the bottom of it. Another time I was driving my teenagers home and a classmate of my kids was booted off the bus on a busy street. We took him in and he called his mother with my phone. He had permission from the school to ride that bus but the bus driver booted him out on a four lane highway with no way for a pedestrian to safely travel.
That bus driver shouldn't even have a job. Your first priority is the children on that bus. As for the supervisor of the school busses, they also shouldn't have their job.
oh my gosh, I would be frantic, my heart sank, poor children geez hope this bus driver is fired and charged with child abandonment, they are in his care until they are safetly to their drop off.
The problem is they don't give stiff enough punishment for CRIMES like this. She should be charged with, child abandonment, child endangerment, a fine a class that they have to pay for out of pocket. They should be warned of these consequences of front. The reporter mentioned there was no cellphone to call home. I'm sure the bus driver had his own phone or a way to dispatch from the bus. Hell, he could have stopped somewhere safe and called and asked to use or a phone OR go back to the school as the boys suggested. Those children aren't even in the 5th grade yet and he still isn’t smarter than them. 😢😢
It 100% is a crime, and is also strictly against protocol. You are supposed to either go back and locate the proper stop, or (in the case the proper stop was left off the list) you are to circle back to the school and hand the child over to them, who then contacts the parents for pickup. This bus driver has likely lost their job, and may be facing legal charges. I can't understand how they thought this would not be discovered...
This NEVER happens in Monterey. Our bus drivers know the kids. Kids are always watched and are never left alone. Kids are always taken back to the schools when necessary. What a shame to treat children like these kids were treated. That bus driver did not care about the welfare of the boys and should be fired. Treat the children of others as you would treat your own.
As a mom myself this is absolutely terrifying and the fact the parents tried reaching those in charge of that school bus and never got a phone call back I wouldn't hold my breath for them to have accountability that bus office should be shut down for good no child should be in there care because they don't give a cellular phones worth a tinkers damn. Thank god those brothers were taken somewhere safe so they could call there mom
The FBI should take a long hard look at the bus driver. It’s hard for me to believe a grown adult could be so stupid. Sounds more like a premeditated plan to get these boys kidnapped!
Watch everyone get on their high horse with this.... When were stationed in Germany An Der Hunsruck where almost no one spoke English my son who was in kindergarten got put on the wrong bus. When I went to the stop and he was not there I about fainted. After I contacted the school we found out that he was 30 miles away in the German countryside surrounded by farms. We never panic as we personally knew those in charge and everything was sorted out. My son now grown loves to tell this story. This was Germany so no one was sued or arrested. But then this part of Germany has almost no crime. God how I miss Europe.
This happened to my son and another child in my neighborhood on the first day of kindergarten. We had moved to a Penn State satellite campus 3 weeks before. My son toook the crying other child by the hand, crossed a US highway and walked the better part of a mile to the campus police. (I was at my son’s bus stop on the other side of campus when the bus drove through the stop). I ran home, called the school, which in turn called the bus driver, who did not know where she dropped them off. Meanwhile, my son told them his name and my name and that they needed a ride home. Campus police called me and nicely brought the children home to me. They were unable to get a hold of the other parents and the other child stayed with me. My son did a great job and seemed unfazed. We filed a complaint withe the school district. Turned out the driver left a total of 7 children off the wrong place. Shhe lost her job. Incidentally the chilren had name tags on with bus stop number on their shirts. That was in 1977.
That is so hard to believe!! I drove a school bus for years and never ever heard of a driver that would not help a student or that would do that!!! 😮😢😮
That’s Child Endangerment. This happened to me on an NEISD Bus in 1992 at just 6 years old. Luckily the Bus Driver stopped the Bus next to the house of a Family Friend we had just met as we’d just moved there after being PCS’d from Mannheim, Germany. Mrs. Quintero later became my actual Bus Driver as that route later got merged into the one I was on. Lucky Mrs. Q handled that situation the same way I would have. This Driver here needs to be charged.
Why am I not surprised this is in New Braunfels. Great place to have a holiday, but living there is a nightmare. Either going to school or working there nightmare.
Seven and nine years old are too young to be badly frightened like this! There is no reason the driver could not backtrack and take them to their proper stop!
Lucky that boy was there . In 1989 we were new in NY and the driver dropped my son wrong place. His father failed to go to the school and show the driver where to drop but then the drivers should have each child's address and otherwise contact parents. In Dubai if I wasn't down to pick up my son they wouldn't drop hom though they bring them to the door!
My children’s safety comes first. Anything could have happened! Homeschool those beautiful kids if you can! You can’t trust that they will still be boys in 5 years anyway if you keep them in public schools!
does a driver has to tell the children a what stop they have to step off the bus or do the children ask themselves at the right stop? Anyone ? In my country we don' t have schoolbuses..
Happened to one of my children in the middle of an incredible snow storm! I remember getting on the bus and looking under the seats in utter disbelief! Where was my child??? Pure panic. The driver had told him to just get off the bus a number of stops before ours! Luckily another mother saw my child and drove him to me! The school said that the driver was sent elsewhere. WHAT??? The driver had had one too many.
It’s such a huge shortage of school bus drivers in some cities I know a place where they are literally hiring drug addicts. I placed an anonymous call to authorities to have the place fully investigated before something bad happens to the kids. But you did not hear it from me.
Agreed, that's what I keep saying. Stop sending kids to school and home school them or online learning. School are not safe places anymore and I guess school buses aren't either. The wonderful school experiences have gone aways with the 60s & 70s, when I went to school.
When i was a very little kid i didnt get off the bus because i fell asleep. The bus driver took me to the bus garage, he didnt just kick me out because it was the end of route. They called my mom and she came and got me lol.
The man should NEVER operate a bus again. I wonder if their skin color was different would this have happened or is this driver simply completely negligent at his job.
@@wittle5788 I guess it is technically. I didn't look into it, but abandonment with malicious intent maybe. Child endangerment. It's a thing that happens every new school year.
I mean, they have to take the bus back to the bus garage anyway, why not take the kids back? Even if you aren't allowed to take them to their stop, you could call the parents from the bus garage.
Bus driver should be arrested and charged with child abandoning
Right
That's Stoopid...
Yes
She should also be charged with child endangerment.
ABSOLUTELY -&- JAIL TIME FOLLOWS...!
The bus driver needs to be facing criminal charges and definitely needs to lose his job. The transportation supervisor needs to be facing criminal charges and fired as well.
I agree
Absolutely
Yes, this could have ended horribly

My goodness how scary. I’m glad that the 3rd little boy was there to help, and took them home with him. ❤
Incompetence! Hopefully they fired that driver and charged him for child endangerment. The kids’ parents need to file a lawsuit
And those two boys are so adorable - who driver WOULDN'T go back and take them home? Guy must have a heart of stone.
With all the kidnapping of children walking home from school, that bus driver should be fired. If she is the same driver for the first 2 days of school and then on the third did this, then yes, fire her.
Where are the child endangerment charges??
They’re so adorable! Fire the bus driver hugs to that other little boy.
That's crazy 😮 those poor kids! That bus driver should be fired 😮
This is horrifying. That driver should be put in jail to experience fear. 😡
Poor babies! Thank God the kid offered them a way to get home.♡
I’m just grateful that these babies are safe ! As for the bus driver, shame on them!
Was the bus driver fired and arrested?….I hope so.
Thank that child for helping omg. Thats gotta be the kindest child. Proud of them and the mother for helping.

Bus driver should be fired charged and sued 🤦
This is unacceptable
Fire bus driver and head of transportation! She didn't bother to return the parents calls!???
for so many reasons I'm never going to regret not having kids.
The boy who told them to come to his house is really smart!
When a kid tells you, this is not my stop believe the kid. Thank God for the boy and thenmom who helped them out.

This heartless driver left these small helpless children on the street? Thank God nothing happened to them. Incredible story great ending. 😮
When a kid tells you, this is not my stop believe the kid.
Criminal Negligence!!!
Happened to my son in OK.. Twice. He never stepped into the bus again.
bro fk that is crazy man ...home school ius way better man seriously
Bus driver called fired
Why didn’t the bus driver just take them back to their missed stop?
Lazy idiot.
Good question!
That should be a crime. Get those kids home no matter what! I hope the Driver was fired. Kids need protected. It is their job!
The bus driver needs to be aware that he is not packages.

TAKE CHILDREN TO SCHOOL BUS IS NOT SAFE
That is terrible. The bus driver should get fired and arrested for doing that to those young children 😑
I mean if the parents are looking for answers reaching out to the news is a great way to do it.

No update on this story? I tried to find one. No explanation from the school system or the transportation on how this happened? Not even an apology?

Better to homeschool anyway, so many real problems with public school systems.
What the hell is wrong with these effing drivers?

It's also a crime
@@wittle5788 I guess it is technically. I didn't look into it, but abandonment with malicious intent maybe. Child endangerment. It's a thing that happens every new school year.

Were do they find these ppl
Looks like they gonna get $$$$ soon.
Finally, parents that don't give a phone to their kids at shch an early age these ipad kids man
I mean, they have to take the bus back to the bus garage anyway, why not take the kids back? Even if you aren't allowed to take them to their stop, you could call the parents from the bus garage.
Well in all seriousness & as a side note you should always be scared of your kids being in a public school w all the damn shootings happening.
