Kelly Mullholland, a mother of a 5-year-old boy, is outraged as she says that a school bus driver dropped her son off at the incorrect location, in 105-degree weather.

Mullholland uploaded a doorbell recording of her son, approaching a stranger’s home, begging for assistance.

“Will you help me find my mommy?” the kindergarten is heard asking.

His mother says that the boy had never ridden a school bus prior to this.

An hour after finding the bus, the mother went up to the driver to ask where her son and another 5-year-old, her boyfriend’s daughter, were. The bus driver had no response.

That’s when an older child told the mother that he recalled them getting off at the last stop.

Mullholland wasn’t provided with an exact location but got in her vehicle and headed towards the direction that the older child had described. At the same time, her boyfriend checked the children’s school.

After searching for a while, a car pulled alongside her, asking if she was looking for two kids. A neighbor directed them to another street, but Mullholland was still unable to locate the children.

Finally, with the assistance of others, the children were found more than half a mile away from where they reside. They had also been over half a mile away from where they were let off the bus.

Following the incident, Mullholland reported the incident to the Department of Transportation.

  1. They need to press charges against the driver and school for allowing kids to be in the hands of incompetent driver with no compassion, no carr nor concern for small kids. Plus no communication skills to call and get clarification of where the kids live. Lock him up.

  2. There is NO accountability. My son, non verbal with autism was dropped off at the wrong location. He was dropped off at a day care he hadn’t gone to in over a year. I called the school. I called the police. Eventually, i called the daycare. Thankfully, he was there.

  3. The next day i had a meeting with a social worker, a police offer and the principal. It was all about me. I needed safeguards in place to ensure this didn’t happen again
