Bus Driver Calls 911 On A Little Boy After Looking At His Feet
You would perhaps assume the everyday routine of a bus driver is pretty mundane. But Tim Watson had an experience that derailed his entire working life. It happened after two unfamiliar passengers — one a man in his 20s, the other a young boy — hopped on his bus. Watson quickly spotted something about the child that didn't feel right. He had a gut feeling that told him this would be a workday he — nor the two passengers — would ever forget.
The wheels on the bus
Before that day, you see, Northern California resident Watson was your typical public bus driver. But in the end, he proved to be much more heroic than his job title implied.
Regular riders
Tim had been driving this route — which covers over 15 miles between the Great Mall in Milpitas, California, to the Fremont Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) station — for about five months. And it seemed he was just a friendly guy with an ordinary job, expecting nothing more than to drive people where they needed to go.
A man and a child
But, on what had started as just another day on the job, Tim was working his scheduled bus route when a young man carried a child onto the bus. Tim had never seen them before, but he thought nothing of it... until after the two sat down.
Treatment
In fact, Tim didn't give the two strangers another thought for at least 15 minutes. There had been no real red flags to begin with, after all. Tim had even had a relatively normal conversation with the older man — and how he treated the kid didn't seem out of the ordinary at first.
