Theft of $10,000 is grand larceny. Someone needs to be charged, arrested, convicted and jailed. Considering this caused distress to children, the sentence should be elevated.
This entire story sounds fishy. What school pays with cash to a business? And also, who uses a school bus service to transport children from Illinois to Florida? So getting airfare wasn't an option? The school could've easily called a travel agency or the airlines to get discounted rates. They're using the city of Dolton, black children, and the holidays to yank on the heart strings to get handouts.
What is the biggest fish? No parents sat and waited for them to get on the bus. There should have been two cars with phone numbers at the wait. I grew up in the 80s far west of Chicago and some parents would follow the bus to away games during blizzards just in case.

@@ngqongqozamasibi9939 these young ladies are learning how to work hard to achieve goals.

Please Dorothy do follow-up with the young ladies and let us know how the event worked out for the team. Good Luck Girls make Illinois proud with your efforts.
I question a city who would vote someone in like Henyard. Did no one vet her? Her background is sketchy and should have been a red flag. I'd stay clear of Dolton and its mayor. If I lived there, I'd try my best to get the h3ll out.
I'm so Sick and tired of Children being Targeted by all kinds of Crime and abuse.. It's so sad that they can't enjoy being Children as we did 50yrs and 40yrs years ago. I wish the very best for your Championship 🙏🏆 Wins 💖.
The owner needs to go to prison for this, charge him with grand theft and child abandonment, as well all other applicable charges. Definitely a scam company
Slow down and think. How does any educator suddenly stop using well known procedures when it comes to transportation? As someone familiar with the subject I know something is off here. Hopefully it’s just plain irresponsible behavior magically involving all of the educators who knew of the transportation plans and not an attempt to steal money from a school by one of those educators. I saw the same thing that’s happened here years ago in another state. Turned out it was an inside job as the gentleman in the same position as this man was the accomplice.
The business address is a home with 3 ft grass. Idk, doesn’t look like anyone lives there to me. Plus years of cancelled insurance and log book violations. I wouldn’t have hired the charter personally but I hope everything works out for the young ladies and that they have a good trip
I'm sorry this happened to you young ladies. Praying you exceed the money for the bus and what you guys lost. Love my K3 family. Sending love from North Carolina.
When you rent a bus you always check the company you dealing with and I think it would have been cheaper to fly! Also giving the team alot more time to practice, 17hrs on the road is not easy.
A flight may have been cheaper but not as fun. As a former cheerleader and former band member, here's nothing like those bus trips for camaraderie. You do a lot of cheering, playing and psyching yourself up for the event. You can't act out on a plane the same way. It's an adventure. I don't know if they had a lot of equipment, but that's easier to deal with on a bus. With just cheerleaders, that's probably only pom poms and megaphones, so it might not have been a big deal.
Never pay cash for a major business transaction. You should always pay by credit card because credit card companies usually offer buyers protection, which enables you to get a full refund if the vendor doesn't honor his contract.
@@MyBizOnlu Absolutely!! 13 thousand dollars to riding for 17 hours. They could have flown and gotten housing for that much. Lord I wish I had the money to fly them there and back
For young kids it's best to use a bus because you need ground transportation upon arrival and if I was a chaperone I wouldn't want the liability of driving kids in rental cars
I snooped. It’s all public records. There’s no way I would’ve gone anywhere near this charter service. I hope it works out for the young ladies though.
Took me 10 minutes and easily found public records showing all the important info. Also, the business address listed is a house in a residential neighborhood that looks like it’s not being lived in because the grass is about 3 ft tall. It appears that the insurance on the bus was cancelled in Jan 2024, maybe due to the 4 violations. I wouldn’t have gone anywhere near this LLC but I do hope the money is recovered and the girls are able to cheer. ✌️
As a former competitive cheer coach, my heart breaks for these girls and their coach. I hope every dollar is recouped and the girls bring home the GOLD!
Thankfully there was thought to have responsible adults accompanying them - this could've turned out so much worse than the mid-outcome. I hope that any upcoming trips include extensive research on any transportation entities to be contracted.
So glad they were able to get a bus! Good luck to them at the championship competition! I don’t know what people are thinking nowadays, stealing and ripping off other fellow human beings! Disgusting!
Good luck girls. I hope my school wins but your story is both heart breaking and uplifting knowing you girls didn't...give ..up! No matter the outcome know your story will inspire others in similar situations to never give up and be creative to overcome obstacles.
There has to be some kind of matts for wrestling or something these young ladies could have relaxed on. Make them lay on the hard floor seems rediculous.
@@ThatGirl551 A bunch of kids sleeping on a floor is not newsworthy. We used to sleep on the floor just for the fun of it. The story is just click bait.
At least you were inside. I got back from a trip in a blizzard and my parents were waiting for a call but the school was locked and cell phones didn't exist. Walked 3 or 4 miles to a phone.
So a little research shows he was not a reputable business because he has No license. So why was this much money spent without checking for a license?? Now any rational adult is gonna wonder if it’s an inside job. Who involves themselves in child care of any type and does not check for a license?? Something smells wrong here. Possibly more than the plain stupidity and irresponsible behavior of not checking for license.
YES, PLEASE DO ANOTHER FOLLOW UP, THIS MAN SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF HIMSELF LEAVING THESE CHEERSLEADER STRANDED, WITHOUT AN CARE IN THE WORLD. EACH AND EVERONE OF YOU SHOULD SUE, HIM, AND THE BUS COMPANY, FOR DAMAGES!
I wish these young ladies the best and that they are kept safe on their journey with a hopeful win. And good job to the parents for making it happen for these kids. My great-great grandfather Fogli owned a hotel in the Kankakee area back in the olden days, I was surprised to see the name Kankakee on my news feed. Would love to visit someday.
Im the mother of one of the cheerleaders & honestly some of these comments are disgusting. They didn’t deserve it at all ‼️ & some of you calling the team trash based off of a small clip is even more disgusting. These are children!
What a let down for those hard working, talented girls! Bus company owner who stole their money should be on his way to prison! Glad they are able to still make it to Tampa, hope the stress doesn't affect their performance. Good luck!
Why not take a Southwest? It would cut the price in half, and then the other half could go toward other things. Maybe if some girls were not comfy flying, then have them take a bus service. This sounds extremely fishy and stupid.
Imagine if the driver had showed up. They all got on the bus and your hired unlicensed bus company got in an accident. As adults responsible for these children’s welfare I rate you as the worst. Next time do your jobs correctly. Not stupidly.

Sounds like the coach/ leader did not do their due diligence in checking out the company.
I was thinking the same. The school or organization doesn't have rules in place? This "company" would have had several minors' lives in their hands.
I get that organizations are on a budget but you can't go cheap. Check the bus, facility, and the garage.
$13k? A roundtrip flight would definitely be cheaper from Chicago to Florida

Not really if you think of the liability insurance the charter bus company likely needs to have.
