@@pulpuspounder6011 Correct, the bus was just rolling slowly, and he probably saved a bump against another car or a tree, but he still did a good thing. What I found odd was (when he turned to his dad and said i saved 60 lives).....i never saw such a young kid do something good and praise himself about what he did/be so cocky. Of course he is getting exagerrated praise and it has gone to his head really quickly. but still doesn´t make what he did not great ;).

That’s why I taught my 10 year old son to drive in an isolated parking lot in Tucson Arizona. When I was having a medical emergency he was 15 and able to drive me to the ER. Teach your kids basic like skills while young. They’re not taught in most schools. Great thinking young man. Happy to see the attention given to him. Clap for him!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@SL-lz9jr]

That’s smart! A responsible child will know never to drive without a license except in an emergency. And it’s those emergency moments when you want competent people around you, even if it’s a child. My mom always raised me to be aware of my surroundings and situations and how to handle certain emergencies. I don’t drive. I have my license and grew up riding in a car. When I have children, I’ll have to remember to teach them the basics of operating a car. Maybe not necessarily teach them how to drive but certainly at least know where the gas and break pedals are, hazard lights, how to put a car in drive, park, etc. I live in NYC now where not everyone drives and I can’t imagine being a city kid and never really being exposed to cars. Yikes.

Exactaly. We let our son drive our truck on dirt roads.

[@lupefranco5440]

Thank you for doing that to your son. I’m 24 and I’m scared of driving 😅

[@obscurelyvague]

"Patricia Nichols" My twin brother has always been afraid to drive. He always feared crashing. No way to teach him at age 10. Our dad was no help. He instilled it in my brother. Our dad used to tell us that cars are dangerous to drive and that he himself had a car when he was a young man in the 1920s and it was a jalopy but he very soon gave it up because he felt that the highways were too dangerous. So our dad told us never to drive a car. I went ahead and learned at age 25. My sister went ahead and learned maybe in her early 40s and she attempted to teach our brother to drive and paid a driving instructor to teach him but he kept panicking and freaking out at the wheel just by trying to start the car and driving a few blocks and the driving instructor had to give up.

[@nguyenthanhhang8634]

I’m here in France and extremely impressed by this story. He saved not only 61 people in the bus but also a countless number of people on the road at that time. Hats off to this young hero and his parents for raising such a kid ! And the way he holds his little sister’s hands when she felt shy … has just melted my hear. Dylan, believe me you were born with a mission to care for and protect people. All the best wishes to your future ❤

[@Batya-Grace]

I know it sounded like they said 61 on the bus, but it was actually 16 people altogether, plus the people in the car in front of the bus that they would have rammed into if the boy didn’t act quickly; and quite possibly a house, or pedestrians too. He did wonderful!

[@Batya-Grace]

@@pulpuspounder6011 …Well, if you want me to be more precise, he prevented harm. In the very least, he prevented the bus from hitting the curb. I know the bus wasn’t going that fast, but even a slow, rolling bus can ram into the edge of the curb and caused a fender bender. He helped to prevent that, so please do not underestimate your classmate/peer. He may have not resuscitated anyone, but he helped the driver get to the emergency room in a timely manner, whereby saving her life. Honestly, you’re not fully grasping the entire impact of each part of the situation. It’s not just about the bus rolling. It’s about the driver having a medical emergency, and children and teenagers sitting in seats that do not have seatbelts. I’m glad the bus was rolling slowly, but had the bus hit the curb, it could’ve provided enough force to throw some smaller kids forward.

So proud of this young man’s quick thinking and jump into action! Kudos to his parents!

Hey Cynthia! Apologies for dropping this here I came across your KZbin channel and I would love to know you better. I'm guessing you must be an honest person, because I always found your comments to be so nice and respectful. If it's okay with you, I'd love to be friend but if it sounds odd or embarrassing in any way please don't embarrass me by replying. Have a wonderful day, and keep sharing!

Dylan is THE MAN. His action kept a bad situation from becoming very much worse. Excellent, young man! PS I’m a former EMT. You may wanna think about emergency services. You got the stuff.

That young man, Dillon Reeves, is going to be somebody special someday. He's got a lot of confidence and he's definitely very intelligent, and has a lot of foresight. Good job young man. .
