An Oklahoma mother shared her “worst nightmare happened” when her 5-year-old son’s school bus driver dropped him off at the wrong stop in 105-degree heat.
Kelly Mullholland, the 5-year-old’s mother, posted doorbell footage on TikTok showing her son walking into random houses, ringing their doorbells and pleading for help.
“Will you help me find my mother?” the boy, who was in kindergarten, asked on Ring’s recording.
This is the boy’s first time riding a school bus, his mother said.
The clip, which has more than 4 million views, then continues with Mullholland detailing the exact moment she realized her son, as well as another 5-year-old with her, had been dropped off at the wrong stop.
“Almost an hour after they were supposed to be dropped off, I finally saw the bus, so I got out of my car to walk to the corner of the street to meet it,” he began.
“The bus driver opened the door and the first thing out of his mouth was ‘Oh, are you supposed to have kids on this bus?’ full Panic. Mode,” Mullholland said frantically.
When Mullholland asked the bus driver where exactly her son and another 5-year-old, who is her boyfriend’s son, were dropped off — the bus driver couldn’t provide an answer.
As Mullholland stood there wondering where her toddler was, she said in the video an older child on the bus interrupted and told her “they remember seeing them get off at the last stop.”

Mullholland said the older child could not give the exact name of the street but kept saying “on the corner, down there,” pointing to the area.
Just then, Mullholland jumped back into her car and sped down the street where the older kids on the bus directed her and alerted her boyfriend to check on the kids’ schools.
Mullholland initially surrounded the area but the child was not found.

“So I went back to my car to get my phone to call my boyfriend, and a car pulled up next to me and asked if I was looking for two kids,” Mullholland said.
“He [the neighbor in the area] told me what streets and I raced there to find they were no longer there,” he said.
Then, in a miracle scenario and with the help of other nearby neighbors, Mullholland said “we ended up finding them at a house over half a mile from where we lived, as well as half a mile from where they were dropped off.”
The child had been outside roaming the grounds for more than an hour in 105-degree weather, the Daily Mail reported.
“This is unforgivable. I’m so glad they’re safe,” said one person in response to the viral video.
“The cry of ‘Will you help me find my mother’ really brought me to tears,” said another. “The fear in her little voice.”
“I’m a school bus driver,” said the third. “We are not allowed to release kindergarten or grade 1 children without their parents at the stop”
