On Monday SirPatrick Coleman, 5, says he was scared when the bus driver dropped him off at the wrong stop and left him with no parent and no other children around.
This almost happened to my son on his first day of kindergarten. I went to pick him up from school and didn’t see him. I asked his teacher where was he and she told me he was on the bus. The busses were just pulling off as I’m running towards them and the next bus to pull off was my sons, but I caught it, though. I’ll never forget the look in my sons face. He was so scared cause he didn’t know where he was going or where to get off at. We hadn’t discussed that cause he wasn’t suppose to be on a bus. They need to do better all around cause I live in Alaska. This also happened in Texas to a kindergarten kid on his first day. Thank God for the lady that saw him walking had sensed something was wrong and helped him find his way home. Glad her child is safe.
It's so sad how much this happens my son's friend was dropped off at our stop instead of the bus stop behind my neighborhood because the driver never drove the correct route. my son had to guide the driver. My son realized that his friend wasn't at the correct stop the little guy was so scared and crying we calmed him down and had him guide us to his house and his mother was so upset and happy at the same time she had no clue her son was dropped off at the wrong stop. I'm so glad we were there no telling what would have happen.
This is so insane and so unnecessary. I don’t understand why it’s so difficult for the schools to get the children where they’re supposed to be. And the bus driver’s absolutely must be vetted! 2 years ago we had a substitute driver for the special needs bus. My daughter saw him shove one of the kids into the seat and aggressively put the harness on him. She complained to the school district. We never saw him again, but they can’t let just anyone drive our kids around!
Yes! That’s they way I’ve always understood it to be. I think that guy did it anyway. I’ve been late before by a couple minutes or inside the house and didn’t hear the bus, and the driver would call me. I just can’t understand why that driver just left him there.
She should sue the district for distress and neglectful conduct. The school district is responsible for what happens to a child until they arrive home...The bus company is covering up whoever was the bus driver. Might be someone without the proper license..
This just happened to my 5 year old son in kindergarten. We are livid and nothing is being done about it…Thankfully he was dropped off with another 8 year old who helped guide him home…Completely unacceptable and I’ve considered talking to the news outlet about it.
Thank God his safe , I don’t blame the Mother been angry she was very worried about him, the school have too be more careful about who’s driving the schools buses .
That’s absurd! No child should be left alone at a bus stop EVER!!! And to be lost for 2 HOURS! No, I’m sorry. This is completely unacceptable. This mom should absolutely sue the school district. They should be held accountable for this. I feel terrible for this little boy. He must’ve been so scared. UNACCEPTABLE!!
They did my son the same way and he was special needs and he was 4 years old in kindergarten they dropped him off in Henderson and we lived in sunrise manor. This was the year 1997, I guess things never going change
Unbelievable. I’m sorry that happened to you and your son. My grandson is special needs and he took the bus prior to COVID-19. I sure as heck wouldn’t let him now!
They hired someone they didn’t know to drive a young kids school bus? That makes 0 sense, someone would be getting sued off general principle for the temerity of trying to hand me some nonsensical explanation like that after losing my kid
When there was a shortage of school bus drivers at my Elementary School and one was sick they used the Assistant Principal for that Substitute Bus Driver and that was in like 2012,2014 they need to do that with all schools and that Assistant Principal was a perfect bus driver and actually dropped kids off at their houses and some of my other school bus drivers did that until 2016.
I’ve had this issue happen a few times with ccsd. It sends me into an absolute panic. Thank god I found my child everytime. And the bus drivers literally just drive the bus they don’t care about whether kids get where they need to be. The first day of school and my child and another student don’t get off the bus and the bus driver blamed the kids saying if they horse around and don’t go straight to the bus I drive away. Come to find out teachers or someone told the kids to wait inside the cafeteria for the bus because it was late due to this shortage perhaps…and never told the kids to come back out when the bus was ready. The first time I heard about the bus driver shortage and problems associated with it was from my child…not the school. I don’t understand it.
Are you thinking she's not married? She was wearing a wedding ring, maybe the dad was out of town or unfortunately passed way. Way too many children being left in wrong areas.
This whole school system is a joke. they have protocols and didn't follow so serious action needs to be taken. If I was the bus driver, as a father of 3 amazing children, I would not have dropped the kid off like that by himself especially being that he is just 5 and not familiar with the area. I would rather keep him on the bus and contact someone who can assist or take the kid back to the school where they can reach his parents.
Our school bus driver used to force the moms to pay in cash envelopes on the side to give us a ride to school. There is no one watching school bus drivers or routes. Dont fool yourself
That is absolutely ridiculous!, they should be held accountable, they know exactly who was driving that bus. They're trying to protect their drivers. That poor mother and she should take legal action against them!
Why is it that from what I remember from back when I was the same age and rode the bus. I might've gotten off a stop or 2 too early from my usual one. Thankfully I was familiar enough around the blocks close to my house. I just had to walk further until reaching my house. I think if the mom would take her son on walks around the neighborhood or have her son ride a bike along with other kids, which is what my dad had me do around this same age. If he had walked just a few times in his neighborhood he easily could've gotten home.
Yes you could have done that 20 years ago when this city wasn't hustling bustling Nowadays you have So So many neutrocious drivers from different States Who don't know how to drive and you gonna let your child walk on the sidewalk even ride a bike.
Rainbow, the street where this 5 year old was left, is a busy street with at least 2 lanes in each direction and a 45mph speed limit. No child should be left alone on basically a highway.
Thanks to God this child was ok and not taken or harmed! He is blessed!!!
Thank goodness he is safe..
Praise god be safe

Bus driver should be criminally charged
Wow I'm glad the child is ok,and safe. God bless her and child. 🙏✌
POOR MANAGEMENT!! SOMEONE MUST BE HELD RESPONSIBLE
Where I live, kindergartners and 1st graders aren’t allowed to get off the bus without an adult there. 😑
Yes! That’s they way I’ve always understood it to be. I think that guy did it anyway. I’ve been late before by a couple minutes or inside the house and didn’t hear the bus, and the driver would call me. I just can’t understand why that driver just left him there.
Smart kid... He stayed put until someone came to rescue him.
She should sue the district for distress and neglectful conduct. The school district is responsible for what happens to a child until they arrive home...The bus company is covering up whoever was the bus driver. Might be someone without the proper license..
Bus driver fired
SOME ccsd bus drivers aren't that smart. TRUTH!
Hold on his name is Sir Patrick
gonna get bullied w that name
@zae raw oh good, kids are terrible just making sure.
BS
The level of trash out there is unreal these days.
Wow that makes me so mad what that mama and little guy went through
That bus driver is obviously not a parent
This happened to my child too! There has to be more accountability The bus driver has to have some common sense. When dropping off 6 to 1st graders.
This just happened to my 5 year old son in kindergarten. We are livid and nothing is being done about it…Thankfully he was dropped off with another 8 year old who helped guide him home…Completely unacceptable and I’ve considered talking to the news outlet about it.
Wow, and this does happen everywhere with mixups. Where are the bus attendants? They help the kids off the bus….🤦🏾♀️
Thank God his safe , I don’t blame the Mother been angry she was very worried about him, the school have too be more careful about who’s driving the schools buses .

I agree
Unexceptionable!!!! Period!!!!!!
They did my son the same way and he was special needs and he was 4 years old in kindergarten they dropped him off in Henderson and we lived in sunrise manor. This was the year 1997, I guess things never going change
Unbelievable. I’m sorry that happened to you and your son. My grandson is special needs and he took the bus prior to COVID-19. I sure as heck wouldn’t let him now!
The lvl of negligence of this city is really getting on my nerves.
Yeah sue that school
Yessir
They hired someone they didn’t know to drive a young kids school bus? That makes 0 sense, someone would be getting sued off general principle for the temerity of trying to hand me some nonsensical explanation like that after losing my kid
I smell a "Lawsuit"!
Lawsuit
Omg…thank you Samaritan!!!!!! I’m glad this went right real fast!

WHO is hiring these bus drivers? This happens waay too often!! I say someone needs to screen the HR department doing the hiring.
I’ve had this issue happen a few times with ccsd. It sends me into an absolute panic. Thank god I found my child everytime.

Come on now
If he only had a dad to pick him up from school.
Are you thinking she's not married? She was wearing a wedding ring, maybe the dad was out of town or unfortunately passed way. Way too many children being left in wrong areas.

How much does school bus driver pay?? If there’s a shortage I’ll do the job.
I believe there's politics involved in hiring. I applied when they had their last "shortage". I never received a call back.
Thank God for the good Samaritan
Our school bus driver used to force the moms to pay in cash envelopes on the side to give us a ride to school. There is no one watching school bus drivers or routes. Dont fool yourself
I went to C.H. Decker elementary
(spring valley) and this EXACT panic happened my 2nd grade 🥺
That is absolutely ridiculous!, they should be held accountable, they know exactly who was driving that bus. They're trying to protect their drivers. That poor mother and she should take legal action against them!
Was he knighted by the queen🧐

Yes you could have done that 20 years ago when this city wasn't hustling bustling Nowadays you have So So many neutrocious drivers from different States Who don't know how to drive and you gonna let your child walk on the sidewalk even ride a bike.

Calm down Karen, bet you the kid doesn't even know his physical address along with all the other kids out thier
the food is expired, kids are dropped off anywhere what are you doing america land of the free and the rich
They didn’t know who the bus driver was!? Wtf
parents should train they kids what to do if lost , never too early better than your kid being a sitting duck
Absolutely. But those of us with special needs kids, that isn’t an option.
@@andreamccormack260 put on tracking on them
Title: a completely normal scenario
Video: an absolutely horrifiying scenario
They don’t give a damn. They lost my son the first day!
Would of been panicking 😰
I'm a school bus driver and I'm not comfortable with some of the policies that are in place.
Clark County School District is a joke!!!!!
How about call his effin mom?! .. JC?!.. and let’s just call him Patrick.
I agree about calling his mom. But the other, No. His name is SirPatrick.
I think the District Attorney needs to get involved!!!!
😢🥺
Good Job Good Samaritan!
Omggggggggg so scary
