'I thought my daughter was dead': Dyersburg teen ran over by school bus

[@tom11zz884]

Little girl is to blame here, and I hope she heals up soon. Never run after a school bus and try to physically stop it. The driver is on the other side and will not see you. Open and shut case. No payday for parents.

[@wcsoblake85]

They tried to make it seem like the driver saw a kid on the side of the road and ran the kid over. The kid was late and was probably trying to open the door while running and fell and then was run over. I didn't see any intent here.

[@isartoraplatz]

She was banging on the door..he had to see her..

[@rachelthomas1556]

There doesn't have to be intent, its called negligence. The bus riders were telling them that she was running after the bus. Doesnt matter if she was late to the bus stop, she made in time to be able to chase the bus. Safety first. I can't tell how many times I had to chase the bus because I was a little late, guess what my driver stopped.

Its not the driver’s fault. Its loud on that bus whether it’s the engine or the students. That is a 80+ passenger bus. Making that they had to check the clearance then focus on clearing the front in. She came mid turn it seems before hitting then slipping under the door. Instead of pushing blame. Lets teach kids about safety and how to be on time.

[@Hortonbey16]

It's not that loud my neighbor said they could hear all the kids yelling it. It's not about blame clearly he felt like a lot of you she should hv been out there and that's why ignored those kids and tried to leave her and this was the outcome.

[@rachelthomas1556]

In an auto vs pedestrian accident the driver is always at fault. What is different about this situation? If you say its because she chased the bus, that is BS, especially when the other riders are telling the driver to stop. A decent bus driver would've stopped when the bus riders tell them a student is running after them.
