7-year-old boy dragged by school bus after backpack strap gets stuck in door

A 7-year-old boy is expected to survive after being dragged by a school bus hundreds of feet when his backpack strap got caught in the door, according to authorities. Authorities said the preliminary investigation showed the boy’s backpack strap got stuck in the door as it closed. They said the bus driver, 63-year-old Kenneth Hawley, drove nearly 573 feet at low speed, dragging the boy, before coming to a stop.The boy was then transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Athena Lavigne, the boy's mother, told the outlet that she was waiting for her son at the drop-off location and saw him getting dragged away before she chased after him. She credited the backpack not ripping that prevented her son from getting killed. "I didn't think he was going to stop," Lavigne said. "I thought my son was going to get dragged under the bus and I thought he was going to die." This story was reported from Los Angeles.

How inattentive do you have to be to NOT notice that you are dragging a kid? Perhaps ýou should not be in such a hurry to close the door and drive off. At the bare minimum watch to make sure the kid is clear of the bus before you start moving. This seems like basic shit here!

Oh no they need to make sure everyone gets out of the school bus safely
