WATCH: Terrified Child Beaten By Bully After Being FORCED Off School Bus

A boy feared for his life and pleaded with a school bus driver for help. Believing he would be harmed if he stepped off, he begged to stay on the bus, where he’d be safe. The heartless driver kicked him off instead, and a video of what was waiting for the child has left parents outraged.

Bus drivers typically place the interests and wellbeing of their children above all else. However, there are occasionally drivers who are merely there to collect a paycheck.

Bullying has been a pitfall of the school system since the formation of public education. No parent ever expects that this will be cultivated by the adults whom they charge with protecting their children. Sadly, this was exactly the case this time.

Another student recorded a video that captures a young boy’s heartbreaking plea with an Oklahoma bus driver to spare him from being beaten by his bully, according to local news KOTV. The video shows that the boy can be heard crying and insisting that he won’t get off the bus while the Locust Grove employee yells at him to “get outta here!”

“You’re gonna kill and try to punch me,” he pleaded. “Hey, get outta here. Go!” the voice said.

The near hysterical boy is then forced by the shouting driver to step off the bus. Then an older student is seen waiting at the doors so he can attack him. The bully is then seen knocking the child down with multiple punches.

The child begs the driver to let him off at his house instead of the corner stop only to be told to get off the bus. Another student on the bus can be heard encouraging the victim to “run.” This was in an effort to escape the bully. The audio is heartbreaking. It showcases the callousness of the bus driver even as the child is ruthlessly beaten just feet away.

“The video is alarming itself,” Major Rod Howell said. “And obviously it’s enough to start an investigation.”

The incident has prompted an investigation by the Mayes County Sheriff’s Office. They are reviewing the footage. The police didn’t even know about the encounter until a week later. As such, Howell says that police are working with Locust Grove Public Schools to get the black box off of the bus in order to complete the investigation.

“We don’t wanna knee-jerk and no rush to judgment here whatsoever,” Howell said. “We just wanna get all the facts as they come in and be objective about this.”

Locust Grove Public Schools refused to comment on the bus driver’s employment status.

The school district released a statement concerning the incident after reviewing the footage, KFSM reports. However, the district’s vague and emotionless explanation has only caused further outrage and accusations of the school’s incompetence:

Locust Grove Public Schools had an incident take place January 17th on one of our school buses involving two students. The incident was turned over to law enforcement and the Mayes County Sheriff’s Office is conducting a complete investigation. The students’ and bus driver’s actions have been addressed internally.
