MS bus driver on leave after trapping children on school bus

[@CaptainJess1994]

All over a cell phone? Either there is more missing from this story than I thought or the bus driver was being petty and childish. There are a lot of petty, bitter, power-hungry adults in the school system, especially these days.

Bus drivers are not allowed to discipline misbehaving students. If they get too loud to where the driver is distracted from safely operating the 13 ton bus,they are supposed to stop & call in. Opening the service door exposes the kids to the dangers outside. The driver does not necessarily know who is telling them which child is theirs & does not want to be responsible for the disappearance of a child.

There was audio recorded by a child hiding their phone. The bus was quiet. The driver was power tripping because she told one of the kids not to call their mom and they did and she wouldnt give the driver her phone. Thats what caused this not bad children but a shitty adult power tripping on some elementary school kids

[@CaptainJess1994]

I believe it. There are a lot of bitter, petty, power-hungry adults in the school system, especially these days. It's sad that a lot of people in this comment section assume the children were wrong and at fault. Even of they were, the bus driver is the adult and thus should be the bigger person. No child deserves to be held hostage on a hot bus, especially at their stop in front of their parents. That's just wrong. Adults like that make me glad I am not a kid anymore, at their mercy for hours. And I was one of the good, quiet kids.

you don't know anything about being a school district bus driver. Those kids are fine.. them crawling out the windows and being pulled out by other parents is NOT going to go well for ANYone. Opening the service door exposes the kids to the dangers outside. The kids were probably being WAY too rowdy, so the Bus Driver, more than likely, had to pull over, call it in, and wait for a supervisor to show up. School Disctrict PD, or whoever is dispatched to the bus. The driver does not want to be responsible for the disappearance of a child. And the parents OUTSIDE are 1000% making it worse, and inciting fear into the children, not reassurance.

This happened to me in the 4th grade. It was a girl bus driver “watching” our usual bus driver. On normal days all the kids would be able to get off the bus without any troubles… not that day. At the first stop was a third grader and some second graders. They all walk together because their house was right in front of the bus stop. (Btw all of the kids were my friends.) then the girl bus driver started screaming at them because they weren’t allowed to walk 10 steps to their house. So when she started to scream at them it triggered most kids (including me) to start crying. One of my friend’s neighbors heard what was happening and went to go see what was going on. When he found out what was happening he started cursing,yelling,etc which did not help a lot. Fortunately most of the eighth graders had phones so they dialed the kids parents and the parents got there in no time. The eighth graders called about 10 parents to come and get their children. After those kids got off most of the eighth graders ran off with some of the kids on the bus to go and bring them home (all of the kids got home safely!) I went to the principals office to go tell on the bus driver and she got…FIRED! And if you are reading this sentence like this comment!!! Ty

[@captainadjuster4806]

Whether the bus driver is right or wrong in this case, there definitely needs to be a custody authentication system in place, it could be as simple as a book of names of parents of children for the particular bus and checking IDs. But the standard procedure seems to be lock everyone out. This kind of lockout of parents happens all the time and it needs to change.

[@judythegirl3867]

I feel like we're missing a huge piece of the story. Where was the bus when it pulled over? Is the driver allowed to let kids off at stops other than their own? Were other behaviors happening beside the one kid who wouldn't turn over the phone? Was the driver waiting for back up from the school and the school kept telling them to wait? Were the parents on the sidewalk escalating the situation? Idk I have so many questions. This video is very unsettling.

During my bus riding years, we had some of the most disrespectful demon acting children. I dreaded riding with such students. The horse playing, fighting, and talking back to the driver remained on a distractive and disruptive level. Concentration for the driver is important. Our bus driver would often pull over. She would sit in silence. Give us all a look from the rearview mirror. We would shut the hell up so she would get us home. The only difference today...cell phones. During my days, if the disrespectful kids had a phone, they would have been giving their mothers an entirely different story about our constant pull overs. I understand the children's panicking, screams, and tears in this vid. I also understand what their bus driver was doing. Why? Because I experienced the need for a pullover more than once. There was a time driver's could turn the bus around and refurn the disobedient child(ren) to principal. Yes, that too affected us good kids. We would have to sit patiently in hot weather as the matter was resolved.

It would be one thing to do this with high schoolers but there were kindergartners on this bus, you don’t keep 5 years olds hostage because some kid won’t hand their phone over. You report it to their principal, and they will take the proper disciplinary actions. This driver should be fired and maybe even charged with endangering these kids, and if it was all for the sake of “policy” then whoever owns that policy should be held accountable.

No actually the bus driver stopped the bus because a girl answered her mother's phone call and wouldn't hand over her cell phone

[@ehunt]

There was always a respect level for bus drivers when i went to school of course kids are loud but talking back and being disrespectful was a no no thats still an adult and when you have unruly children who wont be disciplined its very difficult for tue driver there has to be some authority and line drawn in the sand somewhere

How can you observe something you didn't even see & make a conclusion based on a 2nd hand account? It was only mentioned. You didn't see anything. What was on the phone that the bus driver wanted it so bad? Kids can have their phones.

Observation: Is there a rear door? Why the window kid?

[@christinebonner2210]

The emergency exit & windows(4on that type of school bus) set off an alarm when opened. I had a middle school kid thought he was being sneaky & open the emergency window to dump his cigarettes. Every time the alarm went off,I'd check the mirrors & pull over to tell him to stop opening the window. Of course he'd deny it but I'd point to the ashes on the floor & ask him who'd been smoking in his seat since the high school kid who'd sat there earlier that afternoon had left nothing behind that was found in the post trip inspection before i started picking up for the next route.

They used both the rear door and windows.

[@L.Ledlow]

Do y’all even know that she did what her boss told her to do as every driver is told the same . Grubbs should be happy she didn’t open the door . Maybe kids need to mind ! Then they’ll be safe . That mom who caught this is so tearful & bless her hearty , she is too busy to go to the school and pick her own child up . So the driver is now a stranger. This is way out there about truth. Did the know who’s kid wouldn’t put her cell phone up even read bus rules ? NO! She put it off on someone else to get their child home . If the kid acts up, then protocol . If you can’t go by the laws , homeschool your kids or get your butts in a car & drive them ! Don’t put a driver down Read what’s on the steps NO TRESPASSING ! And each parent did just that ! If that child had bn obedient instead of saying she on the phone w her momma . Well momma ain’t driving her child & im sure as she has acted out, she breaks the law every chance she gets & then your kid is put on a bus sitting in the hot sun bc of that child . Fact , 2 kids got in a fight, she pulled over . Then the child w phone had to act up also. Nobody wants to drive those brats around ! I wouldn’t ! And if I had a mother act the way y’all have .. I would hope you opened your eyes to this situation . There’s another side & that bus has video ! Not js the little clips y’all get for your 2 min hall of fame .. Hey I’m on the news lol Y’all insane

Bus rules state that the driver reports student(s) to the principal for discipline (punishment) of said student(s.) A bus driver does not have a right to pull the bus over, turn off the engine and hold the children hostage for an extended period of time. The driver was correct in not opening the doors because she has no idea who the adults are. To her they are strangers and it would be unsafe but, by her stopping the bus this should have never happened and it goes against procedures. If there were a real emergency she should call LE who could get there fast. Parents are responsible for teaching their children how to behave wherever they go but, they need to make sure they go over both the school and bus rules and the consequences for breaking them. I feel bad for both the kids and the driver. The driver was new and was also a sub. and I know when I was in grade school when a sub. walked in the class we weren't always on our best behavior and tried to get away with more. So, I can imagine some of the kids on the bus were the same way. However, she knew the rules and should have followed them. It's just a bad situation all the way around. I found this information on the DeSoto County Schools 2023-2024 Student - Parent Handbook on page 30 list Bus Rules and at the bottom it says that the School Principal will determine punishments.

There's no rule on the bus saying you cannot use your phone.

Over a Phone is Wild

[@M.s.c-y3b]

Come on people....I had a bus driver in High school that was rather large. So she would let us know if you acting a fool you get one warning. Then she said remember you have to walk by me to get off this bus and I keep my yard stick ..all 3ft of it right here and I'll light up those legs when you exit. So guess what we never had a first warning because we listened. Anyway, if we would have been in trouble with a teacher..bus driver ..whatever, it would be even worse when we got home... no whining kids that I remember back then, but plenty of parents that would jerk your butt off that bus and take care of business

I want to know why a parent that knows it’s so hot , put pajamas on their kids & make them ride a hot bus . Maybe less time on themselves would give time to take their hot little child to & from school … But that lady is too concerned about making the news … Videoing 4 mins . Where’s the other video ? If you do this to 1 driver , then the next then the next . You’ll get off that butt & drive them wherever they need to go. Drivers need to be supported ! Not some dumb parent that makes their child misbehave beating on a bus . Olive Branch Poloce needs to arrest some parents !!! Read what you sign !! She was protecting your child ! 😡🥵😡
