Carjacked 2-Year-Old Rescued by Bus Drivers

A school bus driver in the Grand Rapids, Michigan, area was making his way along his regular route when he was flagged down by a frantic couple. They’d just been carjacked, and their 2-year-old boy was still in the missing vehicle. The bus driver, Dave Skinner, called 911, and then went a critical step further. He got on the radio dispatch system and alerted other bus drivers in the area to be on the lookout for the car.

The quick thinking to not only call authorities, but to alert all the other bus drivers is incredible!

[@coolbeans5911]

the way the lady bus driver approached and held the little kid was beautiful, didn't scare him off and communicated throughout. Seeing that the kid just had an awful experience with a stranger in the car, it was super important that the bus driver handle the retrieval with care. Also being vigilant enough to spot them and rushing back, incredible. Well done to everyone

On our last day of high school, the seniors on the bus got him a farewell gift, a guitar since he liked playing one but didnt have one. I miss those bus rides.

Man, the bus drivers for our middleschool/highschool were just like this. I remember being on the bus in high school when it came over the radio that a middle school boy got on the bus looking for his little brother but couldn't find him. All the radios were going off looking for this little boy. Poor kid went the wrong direction, thought all the buses had left, and was tearfully trying to walk home by himself. He never made it outside school grounds, but that sure was scary. And this was before they started implementing role call sheets on the buses.
