Driver Gets Strange Feeling About A Boy On Bus. Then He Looks At His Feet And Was Shocked

On July 5, 2015, Tim Watson, a bus driver for the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority, became a hero after he assisted in the recovery of a three-year-old boy who had been kidnapped. The boy had been taken captive without his parents’ knowledge. When Watson was on his way to his destination, he saw a man and a tiny child who was crying board his bus. At first, Watson was under the impression that the boy’s tears were nothing more than simply a temper tantrum. In spite of this, Watson started to get a sense of mistrust after he received a notification about a kidnapping that had occurred not too long previous.

Both the child and the suspect were described in a manner that was compatible with the behaviour of the passengers. Watson’s rapid thinking led to the bus being stopped under the premise of searching for a knapsack that had been missing. This was done in order to accommodate Watson’s quick thinking. As a consequence of this, he was able to confirm that the facial appearance of the youngster was in accordance with the notice.

The dispatcher directed him to continue driving slowly so that the police could intercept the bus. He alerted his dispatcher in a covert manner, and the dispatcher instructed him to continue driving slowly. At the Fremont BART station, the police were able to apprehend the offender without any conflicts or incidents occurring.

After being rescued, the child was eventually reunited with his relieved parents. They were successful in rescuing the child. Watson’s vigilance was praised by the police, who credited his intuition in addition to his training for the successful rescue of the individual. After the event had taken place, Watson, who is a father of two children, reflected emotionally on the situation and attributed his actions to his instincts as a parent.
