'He's a hero': Young boy stops school bus after driver passes out

[JoTheAnomaly]

That kid’s gonna be a perfect first responder, he already has the instinct to act fast.

[Jenvlogs]

It was really brave of him to try to figure it out and not get anxious, especially big equipment.

I just read an article about him and apparently he didn't have a cell phone. His father said that he doesn't give him a cellphone because that way he has to look around, interact, and be able to respond to what's happening and be part of the world. Imagine that. It's really pretty depressing how connected kids are to their phones Non-Stop. I'm so glad that wasn't my childhood. There were so many great things that I was able to see on my way to school, on my way to the park. And now when I walk around all I see are people including children, very young children even, with their faces stuck in their phones. I've actually twice had to stop somebody from walking in front of a bus. I swear people just don't know what they're missing out on by burying their face in a little computer.

Yes he is a hero, 100%.
Good job buddy.

If that kid was my son...MAN...I am so proud of him. He is a REAL HERO in my eyes.

This is why kids NEED THEIR PARENTS TO TEACH THEM!!! Teach them how to do things. Period.

Well done Dillon, calm, cool and collected . A true hero. Watching from Australia.

What an absolutely amazing and humble young man! You can tell his parents could not be prouder. Nor could the country! ❤

[AKrn]

Did he get a ticket for driving a bus without a license?

[kelleywatkins]

WHAT A GREAT YOUNG MAN. WHO DIDN'T FREEZE LIKE I WOULD HAVE., .TY TY TY..GOD BLESS U

[jnliss]

It takes a special person to step up sir. Most people watch and sit. You saved the lives of everyone on that bus.

[majkolsson]

the only one´s that wish for him to become a police officer/fire fighter/EMS more than him self is the rest of the world. You are not a kid anymore Dillion, you are THE man!

[chiinoelyn]

The pat his dad gave him ! Man, you can see the pride in his dad in each pat

I think drivers should teach kids how to stop buses incase of emergencies like that!! Just SHOWING them how to stop the bus incase of those situations! Most kids are taught about the emergency CB radio's. But showing them how to stop the bus incase of scenario's where the driver gets knocked out, or a medical emergency could save the lives of everyone on the bus! Like this heroic kid did!

Sweet guy with a practical mind! Great job!

[adevore]

Good move son! But while ppl are donating to his gofund me, don't forget about Lahaina fire victims!! Or the bus driver who is out of work for 6 months now!! The boy says he didn't expect anything and was just stopping the bus.. lives saved is good payment no?? I mean he deserves recognition and that $ will likely be used for something good but the driver has 3 young kids and a mortgage!

[TashaeJackson]

What a sweet kid! Standing ovation for his parents.

[Aston-Martin]

My instinct tells me, he has a good life ahead of him.

[troydavis]

I hope this kid gets a full ride into the first response community

[petersmithyt]

Good on the little guy. Strikes me he's probably the thoughtful type as a rule, quietly watching and learning. It's a great quality. Hope he goes far and gets his dream of being a first responder. The foundations are obviously there.
