LAKEWOOD – A social media post is making the rounds, showing a young child nearly hit by a school bus last week.
The bus, from Talmud Torah Toras Yisroel School, dropped off a student at an unknown address Feb. 14 at 4:17 p.m.
The video shows the bus did not activate its flashing red stop lights or safety arm. Both are required by law. As the boy attempts to cross the street, the bus starts to move but then stops.
Lakewood Police and the school are investigating.
“Investigating” = nothing will happen…
Karolyn Reeder sadly true…they get away with everything
Karolyn Reeder yup
I hope they do something about this!
I saw a “60 Minutes” piece last year about all of the private busing companies across the country and how lax their hiring standards are. Apparently it’s a function of the shortage of CDL drivers. It’s really sad as the safety of our children should always be paramount.
I’d bet my left nut this goes absolutely nowhere! Just like all other illegal doings in that cesspool of a town!
By looking at the video ,its total carelessness, no excuse, failed to operate the bus in a safe manner, file the charges, before someone’s child dies
Jeff Fedak right….whats to investigate…the video showed it all…?♀️
Tina Brito Biester if there’s a problem they should call the State Police in let them do an inspection on the bus nothing wrong with the bus it was obviously the driver end of story
They’re all reckless
No truer words have ever been spoken!
Shocker!
this is also be swept under the rug
Just like the attack on the elderly couple that were very outspoken on the Eagle Ridge development plans?
Michelle Daigle-Rossi have you ever looked at the Rise Up Ocean County Facebook page? Very interesting.
Patty Curcio Garon hmmm, I’ll have to check it out, thanks!
Michelle Daigle-Rossi It delves into the overdevelopment of Ocean County, and how it effects the environment, and who is doing it.
Come to AC/PLEASANTVILLE. bus company is safety bs. Well they don’t drive safe!!
I use to see those bus drivers on their cell phone and kids jumping around the bus all the time in Lakewood.
How do they get away with all the Jewish schools in the industrial park.. it’s not legal
RLUIPA
AND THEN.???????????
Investigating… and another page stated that claims so far is the equipment malfunction… way to go Lakewood NJ.
Vienna Haelig wow ??♀️ i hate that this is going to be swept under the rug like that childs life doesn’t matter ? even if the equipment malfunctioned the driver didnt look nor wait for that kid to cross or even wait a millisecond to see where he was going
Vienna Haelig yea nut loose behind the wheel
Classic Lakewood.
Is their such a thing as “I almost squashed your child like a big amnesty” if so, I’m sure the driver will be given it
Investigating anything about that in Lakewood=I ain’t seen shit!
Crazy, Everyone assumes the Driver is Jewish. Plus this crap happens everywhere. Whoever the driver is should be fired!!
Paul Rappaport because 99.9% of the time in lakewood & for a jewish school they are hasidic drivers
Holli-Linn Jensen I really see plenty of private bus companies not driven by hasidic drivers. We will find out. Either way the driver should be fired
Father didn’t wanna press charges because he’d rather the school handle it ?
Uh, I think what he meant to say is that he’d rather let the RABBI handle it.
Maybe the father should catch a charge
Andy Nemec It’s like they don’t care for a few kids are killed off I guess they got plenty of them to go around
Andy Nemec you’re absolutely right where was he to get his kid off the bus I would never let my kid off the bus alone
They’ll get amnesty unlike every one else
I remember driving a bus for an adult medical daycare in Lakewood and motor vehicle came there and put do not drive stickers on windshield because they weren’t getting them fixed or inspected.
As soon as motor vehicle left they started taking the stickers off and thought I was still gonna drive it ! ! !
GTFOH
Between that and the MANY shady business practices, including bribing a client with a carton of cigarettes to come 5days a week instead of 3 (more $), I didn’t stay very long.
Do they even have their CDL licenses?
Jews lifes matter????
Ryan Koenig
pffft.. not a damn thing will happen…
It’s a shame what they get away with and no one does anything looks like every thing is going to S$$T
Another incident that will just be swept under the rug! It’s about time they start being charged just like anyone else would!!
Jewish or not, this has happen to kids before. We need to put an end to it.
