In a jaw-dropping incident in Arizona, a school bus driver decided to take matters into his own hands—literally. Rather than allowing a bus full of children to reunite with their waiting parents, he locked the doors and drove off, claiming the kids were misbehaving. Instead of delivering the children to their families, he turned the bus around and headed back to school—leaving behind a scene of chaos.
Video Footage of the Incident
Here’s the video that captured this unbelievable moment:
The footage shows a busload of children screaming and crying, and while they may have been acting out, the driver’s response was beyond unacceptable. Yelling, “Your kid will get off the bus when I’m done with them!” to worried parents? That’s terrifying! Imagine seeing your child in distress while a bus driver is clearly losing control of the situation. It only adds to the horror that he drove away from the parents instead of addressing the problem.
According to CBS News, there were nearly 40 children on board. Some frantic parents attempted to open the doors, while others called 911 in desperation. One parent reported, “They’ve been sitting there for ten minutes and he won’t let any of our kids out. The kids are crying. He’s screaming at us. He’s actually driving away with all our kids. He’s got all our kids on the bus.” Understandably, parents were in a panic as the driver seemed to navigate the bus erratically, with many kids still standing inside.
The school superintendent confirmed that this wasn’t the driver’s usual route. A number of comments on this story have criticized parents for not disciplining their kids, but let’s be real: the bus was at the stop, and parents were ready to pick up their children! There has to be a more constructive way to handle rowdy behavior than locking kids in and yelling. If there were issues, those should be addressed with the school, not by terrifying the rest of the children onboard.
Yes, being a bus driver is a tough gig, but refusing to let kids go home to their parents? That’s a hard no.
