6 Year Old Girl Begs Bus Driver for Help While he Ignores Her, Sees Her in His House That Evening And He Was Shocked

Jonathan was driving his bus route when a little girl rushed onto the bus, desperately asking for help. But he didn’t have time to help as he had to keep working, and despite her pleas, the other passengers ignored her too, so the girl left. But when Jonathan got home that night, something shocking happened.

“Please! Someone, please, help my mother!” a little girl cried when she hopped onto Jonathan’s bus. He had arrived at a bus stop on his route in New Jersey, and no one else had boarded his vehicle.

He was surprised and frowned at the girl. “What?”

“My mom needs help! Please help me!” the little girl begged, and Jonathan looked around his bus. Some passengers looked worried, but others ignored her completely.

“Who is that? What is she doing here?” he asked his wife.

“Listen, girl. I don’t have time to help you. Call 911,” he finally told the kid, who was crying by that point.

“Please! My mom!” the girl insisted, tears falling from her eyes.

Finally, Jonathan got up from his driver’s seat and escorted the little girl off his bus. “I’m sorry but I need to keep going! You can call 911. Just ask someone for a phone,” he said firmly as he helped her off.

“There’s no one around,” the little girl protested, her eyes pleading, but Jonathan needed to get home early and rest.

“Surely, you’ll find someone,” he said and closed the bus door to resume driving.

That night, he arrived home and greeted his wife, Caroline, as he walked through the door. “Darling, I’m home,” he called out.

“Oh, honey! Thank God you’re here! We’ve had the craziest day! I wanted to call you, but I didn’t want to interrupt your work,” she said after kissing him. But then Jonathan froze. The little girl from earlier was sitting on his living room couch and staring at him with big eyes.

“Who is that? What is she doing here?” he demanded from his wife, but Caroline didn’t recognize her husband’s shock.

“That’s what I have to tell you. I was walking back home when I saw this beautiful girl, Susie, crying for help. I had to do something. She wanted to borrow my phone to call 911, then she took me with her a few steps away, and there was her mom on the side of the road completely unconscious! Can you believe it? I called 911 myself,” Caroline explained. “Susie was so brave to ask around for help!”

Jonathan felt horrible, realizing that the little girl had begged him for help for her mother, and he had turned her away so easily. Everyone else on the bus ignored her too, and he couldn’t believe how awful he had been.

“What else happened?” he asked, swallowing hard. Caroline sat with Susie and hugged her closely.

“Well, we rode the ambulance to the hospital. The doctors said that Susie’s mom suffered a stroke, and they took her to surgery immediately. It was apparently pretty tricky, and one of the nurses thanked me for acting so quickly,” his wife continued. “But honestly, the bravest and smartest person here is Susie.”

Caroline looked at the girl with a warm smile, hugging her tightly to convey her admiration. “You did amazingly, Susie. You saved your mom. She’s going to be just fine.”

Jonathan was still reeling from the shame of his previous actions, but he had another question. “And why are you here? Shouldn’t you have stayed in the hospital?”

“They told us that visiting hours were strictly implemented, so I offered to take Susie home, but I didn’t want her to be alone, so I invited her over. Luckily, she said yes,” his wife replied, still smiling with pride at the girl.

Finally, Jonathan had to come clean to his wife. “Can I speak to you for a second?”

“Of course,” she responded, and they went to their bedroom to talk. By the end of it, Caroline was furious. “How could you? Her mother could’ve died!”

“I know, I know! I’m so ashamed of myself. What can I do?” he lamented, holding his head.

“You have to apologize to that little girl. Right now,” Caroline insisted, pointing to the door.

It was the right thing to do, so he followed her orders. “Susie, do you remember me?” he began, sitting down with the girl.

Susie looked up at him and nodded slowly.

Jonathan nodded too. “I want to tell you, Susie, that I’m extremely sorry for my actions earlier today. I should’ve gotten out of the bus and helped you immediately. Can you forgive me?”

Susie smiled slowly and nodded again. “Yes,” she said quietly.

“Thank you. Thank you so much,” he mumbled emotionally, and Susie hugged him. She had likely forgiven him quickly because her mother was fine, thanks to Caroline’s actions.

The next day, they visited Susie’s mother and did so every day until she was released from the hospital. The two families eventually became good friends.

Meanwhile, Jonathan tried to help people, especially anyone who asked for it, whenever he could. He would never make that giant mistake again. He could only thank God that his wife was there to help save Susie’s mother.
