Paulding County School Students screaming, bags falling, and parents taking out kids from the backdoor: viral creates stir on social media

Videos shared on social media have infuriated netizens as many questioned the safety of the students, as they can be seen screaming with their heads out the window after the bus driver denied handing them over to their parents.

Furthermore, Paulding County School claimed that the replacement driver was filling in because the regular driver had called in sick.

The school also reported:

“A backup resulted, and the situation soon escalated as parents waited at the stop for their students.”

Additionally, the school mentioned that students were supposed to have a bus stop tag on their bookbags, but some didn't, so the driver wouldn't let them get off the bus. Dana Toole, a parent from Paulding County, had two kids on the bus and said:

"All that happened right as I got my kids off the bus. The parents were really reckless and irresponsible at the time. I think things should've been handled a lot differently than they were. I don't know why or how it even got to that point. It should have never even gotten to that point."

Additionally, as per Alive Magazine, the cops also spoke to Jaco Swanepoel, who works on the street where the drama happened. Jaco said:

“All the cops started showing up, ladies were recording and kids were jumping out the window. It’s always busy at that intersection. We’ve watched a couple accidents here. People pull out in front of each other, and sometimes there are pedestrians coming across. I was just hoping no one got run over or anything.”

However, the police also spoke about pressing charges against the parent who slapped the driver. The Paulding school students reached home safely, and there were no injuries due to the drama.
