- Young Dillon Reeves stepped in to save the day when his school bus driver became incapacitated following a medical emergency. Correspondent Steve Hartman talked with Reeves, and his parents, about why the Warren, Michigan, middle school student was able to spring into action while so many other kids could not.

To Dillon's parents: Thanks for raising a responsible young man!!
True that!! 👍
Even if it’s just for a brief moment, this young man gives me faith in humanity.
😂 Cry
Not using cell is giving me the faith..
Its all the parents dude! His father is behind him. God Bless that family!
I love how he handles no having a phone, that's a true teenager 😄 still a hero though, no doubt about it.
I never had a cellphone until I was an adult and could pay for it myself. Also wasn't a hero
"Whatever.". So cute. Love this little guy!
This was a great example of how media and smart devices are taking away from sensing and knowing your surroundings. Great story.
How media gets their agenda against something using an event
Thankfully another child had a cell phone to call 911, that also saved the drivers life. Infact cell phones save lives, help find lost children and notify people of public emergencies and of abducted children through amber alerts but none of that makes people feel good about themselves as much as publicly shaming children and parents for providing a cell phone to their family.
@@RedButcherXXXLone or two ppl are enough and yes phones can save lifes but you can have a phone in your pocket or something not as a distraction
There are plenty of experiments where people who are not on their phone will just ignore emergency situations
@@user-jc1bs7dc4owhat else are you to do tho? Stare out the window and have your mind go blank or sleep and potentially miss your stop?
Dillion, your Parents Rock! Had you had your phone, Lord knows what would have happened. You did good!
Dillon Reeves was a hero for what he did especially for his ability to act quickly and clear-headed without panicking during a moment of crises. But let us not forget the other big heroes here, Dillon's parents. It was their guidance, and wisdom that molded this fine young man into what he is today. The fact that they were wise and cared enough about their son to withhold giving him technology that makes young minds and senses dull, speaks volumes. They are the heroes behind the hero. Lazy parents give their children cell phones and tablets to entertain and babysit their kids for them so they don't have to, that's poor parenting. Back in the day it was the TV that did that job for uncaring parents, today it's cell phones.
Well said.
Wow, are you judgy! First off your building a story that you believe to be real of which you do not know, Your presuming the quality of people you do not know and not mention from you that thankfully someone on the bus had a cell phone so they could get help for the driver whos life may have been saved because a parent gave a cell to their child. Additionally you do not mention the fact that CBS Sunday Morning publicly shamed children so their viewers can feel "wiser". A life was saved, that's the story, be thankful Dillion was able to do something and anither child called 911. Making a moment to attack parents and children with phones so you can feel better and wiser is gross, disappointing, and seems very disconnected from the modern world.
Exactly this. 💯
How is the driver?
A friend of mine had not heard this story. When I mentioned that apparenlty, all of the kids on the bus save one had been focused on their electronic devices, I was surprised when she said, "But what else are they going to do on a boring bus ride?" Surprised because we're both baby boomers and survived the bus rides to and from school every day for years without cell phones, thank you very much. We talked to each other, played cat's cradle, rock, paper, scissors, or just plain looked out the window. No problem.
Well said M&M!!!!!
Here's a novel idea - maybe they could read a book! Sorry I got carried away 🙃🙃
Yeah I sat in the back and unscrewed all the backs of the seats lol😅😅😅😅😅😅
It drives me crazy when I go to the doctor's office and see the waiting room full of old geezers, older than me, on their devices! All of them, except me.
AMEN!! My friends and I rode the school bus too and we knew where every kid on that bus lived, we waved to their Moms & Dads if they stood outside waiting for their kid. We knew all our friends' dogs names! We knew our bus driver's name and all about her kids. We talked and we knew all about each OTHER!! The bus didn't stop at every house. About 10 of us gathered every morning on certain bus stop corners in our little neighborhood.We're all still very close, those of us that are left. Our daughter went to a high school of only about 75 in her Class. I was picking her up at school one day & I saw the prettiest little girl walking all by herself. I told my daughter, That girl looks just like you! What's her name? My daughter said, "I dunno. She's not In My Group." I said AMY JO!! Shame on you!! If you don't know the name of every kid in your class and she might be REAL LONELY!! She said I don't KNOW HER!! I said Well everyone you know NOW were people you USED TO didn't know!! I was so disappointed.
That’s awesome the world needs more heroes like him
I didn't have a cellphone until I was 19. Kids need to be kids and stop trying to impress people online.
!!!!!
okay but also how old are you? I agree kids need these devices later in life but its unrealistic in 2023 and beyond to expect these kids to not have these tools.
Really what it boils down to is teaching kids when to put the phone down!
@@dreadsupreme I am 40. Kids can do it nowadays too.
I did not have a cellphone until I was 24 ,because I was also more focused on other things in live.
I didn't have a cell phone til I was 30 because that's when they came out.
He’s a superhero. A real superhero. Other forms of superheroes in real life are those middle school or elementary school kids with a high IQ.
His friends and parents must be proud
An awesome kid!
I held off on cellphones and electronics as well for my kids. They were avid readers and top of their classes. It works
So proud of this young man!!
A powerful lesson, indeed. God bless this child.
Observant and great intuition, he saved a bus load of people! Cool parents, too! What a cool story!
We need more stories like this.
And more parents who raise their children to not follow the crowd. This boy is a hero. What would have happened if he too had had a device and was tuned out like the rest of the kids on the bus.
Kid born first responder!
Humble and awesome. He is a good student and citizen. He is the type of future Americans we need more of! Love Steve Hartman so much❤
It’s so funny how he’s so annoyed by the fact that he doesn’t have a phone, and he clearly wants one. I hope his parents will indulge him and get him a phone. He’s a hero!
I love this story but oh my gosh the ending is a bit funny, you can tell that kid really wants a phone 😂
Always warms my heart to watch these inspirational stories. There is indeed so much goodness in our world.
This is so wholesome. Everyone heard this story but this version of Steve is so heartwarming and a lesson for all of us. ❤
I'm sure he'll look back with fondness at his parents once he's older and realizes that their "old-school" methods saved his life and that of his peers
Great point about situational awareness! Bless that young hero!
What a COOL kid! Situational awareness is LIFE-saving. For yourself, for others. Love the expression on his face when he discusses the cell phone “predicament.”. I get his temporary pain. BUT….his lack of a phone literally saved injuries, if not a life. Important lesson for us all. There is a time and place for everything. Teach yourself, teach others, LIVE action is more important than what is on an electric device. I’d give him a phone now because he is aware of the assets/liabilities of having and having not. He understands responsibility. I salute you, Sir. 🙋🏼♀️👏🏻❣️
that's totally true, gadgets has the negative side of effect- disconnects us around us, on bus or private cars, passenger all eyes and ears are on phone, very few or even none is looking up on the road or on the scenery or the establishments being passed by
This kid is too much! 😅🎉❤But He deserves more than a cell 📲 phone for saving all those lives 🤗🤗 hopefully his parents increased his allowance 😅😢
He is an old soul and hero ❤
OMG, what a great lesson!
Can't make the argument against being distracted any stronger than this! Hope, when these kids start driving, they remember this lesson.
What amazing parents and amazing child who’s a hero!! Those parents should definitely be proud 🎉
Dylan and parents, thank you, your gift keeps giving in ways you have no idea- Peace
This young kid is a hero and I don't think cell phone should be allowed to be used on a school bus every child should be aware of their surroundings.
Thank you for raising such a good person ❤ Thank you Dillon!
Bravo for Old School and Hero's!
Just saw this on Channel 5 News in England. What a kid, such a hero. the No cellphone rule is a life lesson.
Good man himself!
His parents must be really proud!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Yes very smart kid and parents
Besides the kid, Steve Hartman's a great guy too..
I don't own a cell phone. When I'm driving I make sure not to daydream and glance in my rearview mirror and use my peripheral vision to have an overall picture of what vehicles are doing what at any given time. Don't ever take for granted that the other driver is doing what he should be.
I didn’t have one for a long time, but I was a long distance bicyclist 🚴♂️, and my friends convinced me that it would be a good safety precaution. I bought the simplest model I could find with a large range. I did need to use it once when someone else crashed and hurt themselves badly. I never use my phone in my car. If it rings, I wait until I’m parked and then return any important calls.
You have to consider where and when you travel. If you don’t travel in remote locations, you’re probably going to be ok without a phone.
This is such an awesome story! What an amazing young man!
Seeing the parents broke my heart 😢 cause this could have gone another way. that call could have been another call.
Kudos to the parents!!!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Good for him, and good for his parents. They all did the right thing.
You are such a brave young man. So proud of you buddy, and to the parents- great job.
Dillon you are a hero for sure!!
Hero!
I hope he is not bullied!!! And I hope he realizes how he impacts all of us who hear his story!!!1💖
Wow I didn’t know that perspective of the story. An interesting take worth some more consideration.
We knew he didn't have a phone, because on the video, you can see where he tells someone to call 911. If he had had a phone, he would have done that himself
@@LindaC616 no, even if he had a phone, he wouldn't have been the one calling 911 because he was the person tending to the emergency.
@@sueprice3315 what's the bus was stopped, he totally could have
@@LindaC616 he was still tending to the emergency. The bus driver was slumped over. He was right there to check on the driver, and the one taking charge, so that's the person who tells others what to do in an emergency.
@@sueprice3315 yeah, okay. I certainly hope that I don't encounter somebody like you who can only do one thing at a time if I ever need someone
What an awesome kid. But I can't help but LOL when he rolls his eyes about not having a phone like his friends. Peer pressure is a b*
I loved his reactions during the whole interview
Good story. Perhaps there's a happy medium here. He might be allowed some time on a phone within limits. He obviously wants one, and these days it's important for kids to learn how to negotiate their way with technology. But his parents are right to be concerned about excessive use of one. This episode with the bus proves the point. Imagine what could have happened if he had been on one, too. I've found out the hard way myself they are addictive, but the first step to getting past it is to recognize and admit you have a problem with it. This young man has a great start - blessings to him.
Ahhhhh..give him a phone now😂❤
Why? So he can become just as tuned-out, unaware, and self-absorbed as his classmates?
Dillion is tge very best
A hero in Crocks! I love him!
Good job Dad!!!!! Old school!!!
We need more people like this! This story tells a story we all need to hear!
HEROS TAKE ACTION....
Love his old school pre teenager attitude, see that less and less with kids today. They are way too passive now of days. Also they way he said "my parents are.....old school" was also an old school way of saying it.
Even for a teenage "hardly" ackowledges his parents did right on him. Got me laughing his "whatever" gesture. Exactly, a true hero. 😊
Love his teenager attitude, don't see much of it anymore, everyone is passive. If you don't have a little anger towards your parents at that age they are too easy on you.
Watching this on my phone. 64 yrs. old. 🤷♂️
What a great young man and a amazing brave hero 😎😊
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 bravo young man !!
What a great kid. Awesome job Dillon. 👏
Well done young man!
Great responsible guy..
It's not just a lesson about distractions and situational awareness. This kid also had enough general knowledge to know what to do, meaning his parents or someone had helped to make him aware of the basics of what symptoms can mean a medical emergency, what to do in one and the actual mechanics of stopping a vehicle safely. It isn't enough to just limit devices and other distractions; parents need to actively engage with their kids and teach them to actively engage with the world (something missed by both helicopter parents and neglectful or too busy parents).
i love how at first he's "whatever".but then he has that small smile showing.
That's a lesson adult's could learn
If that kid had a phone, he would still know what's happening around him. Think about it. If you took the phones away from all those other kids, how many of them would have been as aware of their surroundings. That kid deserves to have a phone. He would still do the right thing.
Future leader!
Yes
I would love an update on the driver's condition. Every story I've seen doesn't address if the driver is alright. I assume they didn't die in this incident, right?
An accident was prevented because of the actions of this young man. I would assume the driver was tendered to as you can hear the young man say “call 911”. If the driver wasn’t ok then that would have been addressed.
Well played wee man.
Good job!
Things really happen. I'm guilty that I don't have situational awareness especially on my commutes, I'm just tired and I want to listen to music and be with my own world. I wish we have more people like this kid.
Kudos to the kid and his parents for bringing him up in an old school kind of way...👍👌I know its hard dealing with that at such a young age...but you'll appreciate it when the right time comes....🙂
He’s like I saved a bus full of kids and now I’m not getting a phone for even longer?! Lol
Legend
His face at the end was im a dam hero I deserve a phone😁
Old school but good school!
Bless his soul.
It's a lesson for everyone. Great job!
Good for the parents commitment.
This is literally how origin stories start!
Bro just gave them another reason not to buy him a phone…
Now see thats good parenting ,, man i old school too no cell phone til 21 all ways see your surrounding
Most of the time I'm perpetually on my phone at home or on the computer but I refuse to sacrifice my awareness when I go out in public the places I go to shop can often be dangerous in fact I rarely check my phone at all in town. Thank God that this kid was not on his phone and was paying attention and good on him for knowing what to do
I saw a clip of this before that said the boy would always watch the driver, and that's why he knew what to do to stop the bus.
This version only mentions that he doesn't have a phone, and that the random few people they interviewed had devices.
That kid will someday learn to appreciate putting the phone down and enjoy life as it happens. Im 24 years old and I can say put the phone down becuase life is more impotent than watching a screen and drowning out whats around you. Your parents are wise and you will learn to thank them for that decision some day as well.
Dillion, your the man! Your the dude. FANTASTIC, WOW!!!
Bro actin like yeah I saved thoes lifes but i still want a phone lmaoooo
I very much look forward to seeing the long term effects of staring at your phone for hours on end instead of looking up and engaging in the real world or letting boredom guide you towards what is meant to be.
I grew up in the 80s with video games and all the adults said it was going to be terrible for us. Today we are Generation X. You never hear a peep about us in the media
@@jojopuppyfish You're raising the current generation. Says everything.
Get that boy a phone 😂 he deserves it. He got the lesson of situational awareness and I'm sure after this incident it's ingrained.
Que cosa mas Bella
Lovely...
Don't blame the phones. That kid is just sharp and on the ball. Unless, you really believe that all people are created equal. If the kid was ahead of his peers in other ways, would you say it's because he doesn't have a phone? No. That's ridiculous.
