A first-grade boy from Brooklyn, who suffers from a seizure disorder, took a tumble after being hit by a fellow student on his school bus this week... only to receive no help from the driver. According to the Daily News, the driver never even called for help when Armani Baker was clearly injured. Instead he kept driving and dropped the crying boy off at his stop, as he was bleeding from his head.
Allegedly he told his mother that he had even asked the driver for help, but all he got was a cloth from the bus matron. His mother told the paper, "For him to get a trauma to his head and nobody calls EMS? I couldn't believe it."
Upon getting off the bus, Armani's grandmother saw he was hurt, and called 911. He ended up getting staples in his head; the bus driver told her that he didn't get help because they were close enough to his stop. The Department of Education is currently investigating, and Varsity Bus Company is cooperating — they says they'll change the route so Armani no longer has to ride with the boy who pushed him. Understandably, his family is more concerned about the two adults on the bus who left the 6-year-old bleeding and unattended to.
