Quick-Thinking Bus Driver Saves Child Running Down Busy Street

Watch as a bus driver’s quick thinking helps save a child who was spotted running down a busy street.

A bus driver named Peter saw a little boy running down the middle of a street all alone. This little boy was found in just a diaper and a tank top. He didn’t even have any shoes on. Peter quickly decided to help the little boy. Peter chose to block the intersection and secure his bus. This helped to protect himself, the little boy, and others who may stumble onto the scene.

After making sure the environment was safe, Peter quickly jumped off of his bus and picked up the little boy. Peter found that the little boy couldn’t speak. He then decided to call his union rep as well as 911 to get assistance.

The Police showed up to help, but the cutest thing was that the little boy wanted to get another hug from Peter. Isn’t that just so precious? As we go on to find out in the video, the little boy was about four blocks from home and happened to wander out of his home while his father was asleep and his mother was at work. Thank goodness there was a good man like Peter around to help!

Upon the boy’s return, Peter shares that the mom of the little boy was beyond grateful for Peter’s quick thinking and the help he provided for her son. Peter even goes on to say that the mom and he are good friends on Facebook, now. Even situations like these can develop friendships.

I wonder how many people passed this little boy on the street and didn’t do anything. Sometimes, it can be hard to take action when we’re caught up in the busyness of life and our own circumstances. We can thank God for good people in the world, such as Peter and that he took quick action to help a young child in need.
