California bus driver foils kidnapping of 3-year-old boy in progress on his bus
NEW YORK (ABC News) - A Northern California bus driver who's been praised for his heroism by his employer and police says he simply followed his parental instincts when he stopped a kidnapping in progress on his bus.
A 3-year-old boy was reported missing Friday morning from the Milpitas Public Library, about 45 miles from San Francisco, according a press release from the Milpitas Police Department.
About an hour later, Tim Watson, a Valley Transportation Authority bus driver, noticed a man and boy on his bus who matched the description of the suspect and child wanted by authorities.
The boy was crying, Watson said.
"I saw his teary eye," he said.
So Watson concocted a clever plan to deliver the suspect to authorities.
This was quick thinking and reacting on the part of the bus driver he is a real hero. God bless all that participated in getting the child to safety.
