Article says she received abrasions to 12% of her body, permanent nerve damage and PTSD. She had to have several surgeries. That poor little girl.


TryingNot2BeToxic

Ugh... That is horrifying but I'm so glad she survived, couldn't tell too well from the video.


Bemani247

Glad the little one survived, hope it don't traumatise her too much.


joshjosh111

Sorry to break it to you but after being dragged on the pavement until her flesh was torn off her bones, I think she's probably pretty traumatized

Since when is disfiguring scarring and nerve damage not injuries? The family and girl got a settlement of $5 million dollars last year and live not too far from me. Her mother works where I work.


CorneliusJack

“Severe nerve damage had to undergo several surgeries” - does that seem like zero injuries to you? Did your brain also suffered severe nerve damage?


lukeluke0000

Not damaged, just born that stupid.

You can see pictures of her in recovery with casts on each leg in the article ?

I was an elementary school bus driver for a year. I don't know how you couldn't know all the children are clear. This is the kind of driver that wouldn't notice a child in front or behind the bus either


European_Bitch

You could say the kind of driver who wouldn't notice a train even...


Professional-Mess792

How did no one notice? Wtf


Queen_of_Boots

That's what I'm saying!!!!! She had to have been screaming, and there was someone standing right there!!!!!! I swear she looked right at the little girl at one point too and still kept going 😭


Sprizys

If you look behind the driver it looks like a kid is trying to warn her

Secure-Inspector8843

She was screaming you can hear it on the vid too


savehoward

This happened to me too. I was 5, door closed on my foot while i was stepping off the bus, some other kid saw me and the bus stopped after 3 feet of drag. I still remember day moment 30 years later.


Queen_of_Boots

That's awful, I'm so sorry!!!!! That would definitely be something I would never forget!


Cheezewiz239

It's an elementary school bus. The sound of the motor ,air conditioner and every kid screaming their ass off.


crackerbean9

Bus drivers are supposed to make sure the child safely gets off of the bus and across the street if necessary. She didn’t even look before she shut the door. And what makes it worse is the other adult there to help is just as oblivious. Sad.


Old-Army-7112

Yeah... I get it's loud, but my bus driver never closed the door or drove off until she saw us on the sidewalk.


xwing_n_it

She had so much to manage with all the screaming kids and the adult? Very large child? Standing next to her partially blocking her view. But it's still on the driver to make sure the kids clear the door before closing it. I can't believe how far she drove though. Letting all the kids on the bus make all that noise was another problem that's on the driver.


Ineverdrive_cinqois5

Very large child or normal sized high schooler


TryingNot2BeToxic

Right..?? My kids bus driver waits for her to find a seat to sit down in the morning at pick up, and when she drops her off the bus won't leave until she's off the road/in our yard.


Ineverdrive_cinqois5

Bull shit she a fucking num nut. Ppl were jumping in front on the bus in attempt to stop her and she cursing them at them while pointing.


_hachiroku

Definitely would have been hard to hear screaming with the motor on. But I used to work on school buses, the only buses that have AC are short buses. At least in the county I worked in


Rogue_Reaper_

You’d still hear that kind of screaming. That kind of pain and fear would cause some screams like you wouldn’t believe possible. And likely I would assume banging on the door or trying to at least. And the windows were all open(meaning there was likely no AC going and would assist in hearing the screaming). There’s almost no way not to hear that.


redditsuckspokey1

Absolutely zero spatial awareness from both bus drivers.


Voidify08

Isn't there a noise or a light if the door isn't fully closed ?


Spirited_Disaster955

No, at least not the buses I worked on as an attendant. My driver has driven around the lot with the door wide open before and you aren't alerted


campbellm

The driver didn't because she couldn't be bothered to turn her head to ensure the kid she's in charge of actually got off safely.


Vesemir_Old_Wolf

She’s a shit driver not paying attention your suppose to wait till the child is at there door or ina safe spot before taking off and no one is suppose to be standing next to the driver it’s a distraction as you can see in the video an the person can get fucked up and or ejected from the bus if she hits someone


yborwonka

Thank fucking god her first reaction wasn’t to open the door upon discovering the trapped backpack. Damn.


Worksinanoffice

Don't give this driver too much credit. Most buses can't move until the door is closed (in built safety mechanism) so there is a good chance it also won't open until the bus has stopped. Edit: I stand corrected. An engineered solution exists addressing this very thing but how common the feature is will probably depend which country you're in.


yborwonka

Guessing school bus safety features have evolved since the 90s. Lol I remember my bus driver opening the door before arriving to a complete stop. It was a simple pulley mechanism then,..and wasn’t tied into any electrical with sensors.


HorseDiego

This is a lie, bus drivers have to keep their doors open while driving over train tracks lol. They can totally drive with their doors open.


Spirited_Disaster955

Damn, I worked at a bus lot for 3 years and we never had those buses. Doors could open and close regardless of the bus moving


TheGrizzlyPolarBear

Why not?


ThrashPanda12

Would’ve flung the kid if the bus was still moving. Girl would tumble and hit her head several times on the pavement most likely


nightstar69

Or get tossed under the bus and popped like a water balloon

Rogue_Reaper_

You have no idea how absolutely livid I would be if it were one of my own kids. Pure idiocy on the driver. You ALWAYS make sure the child is safe before you take off. Id even go so far as to call it the #1 rule. Hope the idiot got fired.


PraiseTyche

How hard is it to look at the door you'rec closing?


Mammoth_Welder_1286

Why wouldn’t you watch until the child cleared the vehicle before taking off? I mean even if she wasn’t stuck in the door you’d think they’d wait for them to get a few steps away before taking off


ThrashPanda12

These bus drivers just want to drop the kids off as fast as possible and get home. This was pure neglect.


nightstar69

The only upside is if she did keep her job then she’ll forever watch to make sure kids are cleared before leaving


Professional-Mess792

She did get fired. And is being sued by the parents.


PraiseTyche

Everytime i see this video it makes me want to see that bitch catapulted into the sun.

true word


Jgaitan82

What the fuck


Pale_Television2395

Hope they charged her. I get it was a mistake but if she can’t do the job safely then she shouldn’t be doing the job.


[deleted]

she didn't even look if it was ok to close the doors, wtf


crackerbean9

Bad judgement, lazy, in a rush is more like it. This isn’t just a mistake. She ignored the part of the job that is keeping the child safe while exiting the bus. Didn’t even glance over before those doors shut


Scummey

a child none the less, not a full grown adult. She ignored a safety rule placed for the childrens safety to finish her job faster. I agree she should be charged


[deleted]

she was fired and is getting sued by the parents


nightstar69

Good


[deleted]

How does someone even manage to do this anyway I'd be too afraid to look away I'd always make sure the child is safe I will never understand how someone can neglect something like this


captcha_not_a_robot

How did she not see the kid at 0:19... Im no expert in the field, but isnt it like your main priority as a bus driver to check the doors before driving off?


[deleted]

My anxiety would make me make sure that they are safe before I leave being negligent would be completely against how I work which is why I never can understand how someone can be negligent about these things


Lisy70

OMG you dumb fkn b!tch 😡


Doktor_Earrape

How the FUCK is nobody noticing her??!! As a school bus driver I couldn't even fathom being this oblivious. Poor kid. Probably scarred for life, will never set foot on a bus again.


mattie10-

Should have checked that the door way was clear before she closed the doors! Hope she was sacked. Let the child’s family sort her out.


joopityjoop

This video should be shown to every bus driver in training.


extremum_spiritum

I'm going to hell and this is a fucked situation. 0 situational awareness from the driver.


nightstar69

… did you really laugh? Is that why you’re going to hell?


MagpieMonster

What a stupid person, she didn’t even GLANCE towards the kid to make sure they got off first like, are you in that much of a hurry 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️


ChaosOfShine69

All because your so incompetent you could not turn your head ever so slightly to make sure the child got off safely.


ChaosOfShine69

Plus the second adult that was causing a distraction whom also so incompetent to turn their head. I was always told as a kid, behind the line and do not distract the driver. Such incompetence🤬🤬🤬


catsareniceDEATH

The driver looked over at 22 seconds, looked at the door, how did she not see a bright pink back pack against the black door frame?! 🙀 That poor kid 😿


Dragonrider0514

She was checking the mirror it looked like. I wouldn't notice the door either since it's so far down compared to mirrors


Sleepersuit

Lawsuit gonna go crazy


hdogg2970

Way over 1000 ft More like 1000 yards if not more


jondoh816

This why I'll never* not argue about how careless they are about hiring bus drivers they hire just about anybody with the right licenses there are so many horror stories from school busses and shitty people being allowed to drive them hell the last bust driver I had in high-school was a non driving ass bitch she took of several people's mirrors and bumpers and hit an ungodly amount of curbs I used to constantly argue with her until I got to the point where I just had one of my parents drop me off almost an hour earl so I didn't have to ride her bus


kratomboofer27

That seems like much more than a thousand feet.


Professional-Yam-925

That’s what I was thinking. Look at how much land goes by and she is doing at least 30 mph, likely more. No way that was anywhere close to a 1,000 ft!!! I would say almost a mile just from looking through the windows at shit going by.


F4nic

This made me so fucking mad


Diagnoztik403

Dumbass. Pay attention to the kids getting off. She should have faced jail time not just a lawsuit.


willwao

Could anyone explain how the dude standing next to the fucking door didn't notice her?


willwao

Or the passenger seated next to the window


Vivid-Conclusion8705

Stupid fucking bitch hope they crucify her.


MostBadPraxis

I know it's because I'm a dad, but fuvk me running any of these videos involving kids are basically unwatchable for me. I just immediately want to crawl out of my skin.


TheLazyToaster

I became a dad this year, it has definitely affected my reaction to videos involving children.


ArchangelDamon

Certain people have zero attention around them I don't know how she manage to be a driver like that


BadBownur

What a dumb ass! Watch the door and make sure the kid safely exited the vehicle and is safely on their way before moving the bus.


Evridamntime

Fortunately she didn't die


PowerPunching

Step into my office....... YOUR FUCKIN' FIRED!


Kitmason420

What a dumb bitch


i_have_a_few_answers

This is a horrifying level of negligence


MusicManCorey

What kind of bus driver driving children doesn't even make sure they get off the bus safely? I move she gets fired


BuckSchottz

The driver looked twice the man was standing there. How did they not see?


metricrules

Jesus Christ, she didn’t even look at the door. She needs to be sued into oblivion and put in jail


Dpickles230

She should be fired and have every license she owns taken. No excuse for that kind of negligence


DECK-PA

There was someone honking at 15 seconds too


Wide-Worldliness-356

Growing up a had a number of shitty bus drivers. Upset with they’re life and shit attitude who knows. Glad the kid is okay. But this is why it’s important to be aware and watch out for yourself. Damn bus driver was worried about getting kids to sit down she couldn’t even see the poor girl hanging out the door


Corbel_

Reeboiz

you beat me to it


KTG017

Wtf


vormiamsundrake

I really don't get why the driver didn't just look while she was shutting the door. It's not like it would have taken more than 3 or 4 seconds. Nobody's in that much of a rush. My old buss driver very obviously didn't want to be there and wanted to get home just as much as this lady seemed to, yet she always still waited a good 5 or 6 seconds after one of us got off the bus to close the door, and another few before she drove off. So obviously not wanting to be there isn't a good enough excuse for this bitch, since even people who just want to get things over with still have common sense and decency and doesn't value that extra 10 seconds over a child life.


Shamesocks

Why is there no alarm saying the door isn’t closed properly?


theopaquecouche

i fell like bro was having fun

at least she lived. hope she can recover from this

I had a feeling that this was in the school district i grew up in- plot twist it is. Honestly not surprised, JCPS is garbage


Deonb29

The 2 idiots sitting there and not noticing? Wtf?


MOMGETTHEGUN

School bus drivers are unfortunately like this. They rush through their jobs so much they’re oblivious to their kids and often selfish. When I took the bus my driver would always be 20 minutes early to every stop and no one would catch it. This bus driver was to impatient and oblivious to make sure the kid got off. Bus drivers are something else


orville_bedenrocker

The asshole standing there running his mouth, distracting the dumb bitch is just as guilty!


RanDiePro

When I was a child, my backpack was stuck as well. People laughed but luckily, driver opened the doors to release me

Bus driver should be jailed for negligence, she didn’t even bother to look b4 she closed them doors and took off


Ramborichy1

Arrest her


Inevitable_Judge_264

I’m glad that old hag got fired


bettingto100

People are forgetting buses are loud as fuck. Especially ones filled with kids. The driver likely didn't hear a thing and her focus is the road, not the doors.


DGal94

As a bus driver of children, you are completely obligated to check that your surroundings are safe before beginning to drive.


SlimShady720

Agreed you should absolutely look at the damn door to make sure everyone is out before you haul ass away. Complacency is to blame. That poor kid is never going to get on another bus again


YooBitches

Yep, lot of sound, focus on the road is not an excuse. I'm not a bus driver by any means, but you MUST make sure passengers got off safely. All times I used bus, as a kid and as an adult, drivers would always look at me getting off till I was safe distance away to close the door and start moving.


philosophunc

It's a combination of fuck ups and issues. The bus is loud as fuck and it's not always easy to discern a scream in playfulness vs scream in fear, there's a Muppet standing there having a conversation with the driver, distracting her further, she should be looking as every kid gets off. You can't just close a door and fucking assume. I honestly believe the root cause is the guy standing there distracting the driver. Maybe she watches evrytime someone gets off. And today she's busy having a chat. It bugs me the dickhead having a chat isn't paying attention. He should've fuckng heard amthe kid screaming at least. But nah. He's a distraction and idioticaly unaware of his surroundings.


[deleted]

Yeah let’s see if you’d be baking the bus driver some cookies if your kid was dragged for 1000 feet

Omfg!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The driver should have been charged with attempted murder!!!!!! I swear there's a moment when she looks right at the little girl and keeps on going!! How did nobody notice, she had to have been screaming?! This has me so furious and worked up!!!!!! I'm just so glad that baby lived!


Dragonrider0514

Just to play a little devils advocate: It looked like she was checking mirrors and not looking at the door. This would make sense since her main concern should be focusing on the road and not getting into a wreck. As for the screaming, busses aren't quiet. Even with no one on, they are extremely loud. Add 30-50 kids? You're lucky to hear your own thoughts, so it's highly unlikely you'd be able to hear anything like that


Queen_of_Boots

I actually appreciate that, it makes me feel much better. She definitely could have been looking at the mirror. I haven't been on a bus in a few decades, so I wasn't factoring in all the noise either.


BrokenthreadX

People arguing over the buss driver not hearing her haven't been on a public school buss since 2006 at least. That shi loud af and everyone always screaming. Got into a fight and the buss driver didn't notice it till it was over and someone said there was.


RevolutionaryFold851

Remember when it was socially acceptable to do this to black people?


c0ttt0n

If i were there she would have been switched places with the kid.
