FROM DOWNTOWN DETROIT. FOR NEWS AT 11 STARTS NOW. EIGHT YEAR OLD BOY IS PUT ON THE WRONG SCHOOL
BUS. I JUST FELT LIKE MY HEART
WAS RIPPED OUT OF MY CHEST.
MIKE. WHERE’S MY SON? A MOTHER
OUTRAGED AFTER HE WAS LEFT TO
WANDER THE STREETS OF DETROIT’S
EAST SIDE. THAT MISTAKE LED TO
NEARLY FIVE HOURS OF FRUSTRATION
AND, OF COURSE, FEAR, AS WELL AS
TWO POLICE DEPARTMENT SEARCHING
FOR THE YOUNG BOY ENDED UP BEING
A GOOD SAMARITAN WHO SAVED THE
DAY MARK MCDONALD IS LIVE AT
BARBARA PREP ELEMENTARY AND
HIGHLAND PARK. MORRIS SOMEHOW
THE SCHOOL PUT THIS BOY ON THE
WRONG BUS. KIMBERLY THAT’S
RIGHT, AND THE SCHOOL DISTRICT
HAS APOLOGIZED PROFUSELY TO THE
MOTHER IN THIS CASE, BUT SHE
TELLS ME HONESTLY, WHAT HAPPENED
HERE HAS NOT BEEN EXPLAINED TO
HER SATISFACTION. LET ME SHOW
YOU I WAS JUST FRANTIC.
ABSOLUTELY FRANTIC. KIRSTEN WAS
WAITING TO PICK UP HER EIGHT
YEAR OLD SON, DENVER. IT IS BUS
STOP YESTERDAY ON THE CITY’S
WEST SIDE AT SIX AND LIVERNIOS,
BUT THE BUS NEVER CAME. SHE
CALLED THE SCHOOL AND WAS TOLD
IT WAS JUST RUNNING LATE 40.
MINUTES LATER, NOTHING START TO
DRIVE TO OTHER STOPS. SIGN OF
HIM. SHE CALLS THE SCHOOL AGAIN.
NOBODY IS PICKING UP. SHE THEN
CALLS THE BUS COMPANY AND GETS
NOWHERE. SO SHE GOES TO DPD. THE
DEPARTMENT PULLS THE GREEN LIGHT
FOOTAGE FROM THE BUS STOP, WHICH
SHOWS NO BUS STOP THERE. POLICE
CALL THE BUS TERMINAL. THAT’S
WHEN SHE GOT IN CONTACT WITH HIS
ACTUAL BUS DRIVER THAT LET ME
KNOW THAT MY SON NEVER GOT ON
THAT BUS. NOBODY KNEW WHAT
HAPPENED BECAUSE THE SCHOOL IS
IN HIGHLAND PARK. POLICE TOLD
HER TO TRY THAT DEPARTMENT AS
WELL. HOURS LATER, THEY FIGURE
OUT HE WAS PUT ON THE WRONG BUS
AND WAS DROPPED OFF AT SEVEN AND
CONAN FAR AWAY FROM HIS CORRECT
STOP ON THE WEST SIDE AT SIX AND
LIVERNIOS. AS EVERYONE IS
RUSHING TO SEVEN AND COMPONENT.
KIRSTEN GETS A CALL. DENVER HAD
MADE IT HOME. I GOT HERE IN
ABOUT 20 MINUTES AND MY SON WAS
STANDING ON THE PORCH. SAY HI,
MOM. AND THEN HERE’S THE WHOLE
STORY. LIKE I WAS SCARED. I WAS
CRYING, BUT I’M OKAY. I’M AT
HOME. NOW. DENVER WANDERED IN
THE SEVEN AND CONAN AREA FOR
HOURS. NO ONE DID A THING UNTIL
ONE MAN STOPPED AND CONVINCED
THE BOY TO TELL HIM WHERE HE
LIVED AND THE MAN GOT ON HIS
PHONE. GOOGLE, THE AREA SHOWED
IT TO HIM. AND BROUGHT HIM HERE
ON THE CITY BUS SAVED HIS LIFE.
MY SON THINKS HE SAVED HIS LIFE.
SO IF MY SON BELIEVES HE DID,
TOO. BACK HERE ALIVE. KIRSTEN IS
SO INCREDIBLY GRATEFUL TO THIS
GOOD SAMARITAN WHO IS A MAN IN
HIS THIRTIES. HIS NAME IS WILL
SHE THANKED HIM PROFUSELY? HE
DOESN’T SEEM TO THINK HE DID ANY
BIG DEAL HERE. HE TOLD HER THAT
HE HAS NEPHEWS AND NIECES THAT
ARE ABOUT THAT AGE AND THAT HE
WOULDN’T WANT THEM OUT WANDERING
ALONE. HE ALSO SAYS THAT IT TOOK
A LITTLE BIT TO GET DONE FOR TO
TALK TO HIM. BECAUSE DENVER HAS
BEEN TOLD YOU DON’T TALK TO
STRANGERS. UM BUT IN THE END, IT
WORKED OUT. DEVIN KIMBERLY BACK
TO YOU AND THANK GOODNESS FOR
WILMAR. I’M WONDERING THAT. WHAT
IS THIS SCHOOL HAVE TO SAY ABOUT
ALL OF THIS NOW? WELL THE SCHOOL
SENT US A STATEMENT TODAY THAT
ESSENTIALLY SAYS THAT IT HAS
TAKEN A LOOK AT ITS PROTOCOLS.
IT’S SAFETY PROTOCOLS WHEN IT
COMES TO BUS SERVICE, AND IT’S
GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT NOTHING
LIKE THIS EVER HAPPENS AGAIN.
BACK HOPE NOT OKAY, BARBARA.
THANKS. FORWARD TAKING CENTER
STAGE TONIGHT AT THE AUTO SHOW,
WITH THE DEARBORN AUTOMAKER,
UNVEILING THE 2024 FORD MUSTANG
IN FRONT OF A BIG CROWD AT HART
PLAZA. JASON COLTHORPE IS THERE
TONIGHT, JASON WHEN WE FIRST
LEARNED THAT THE AUTO SHOW WOULD
BE MOVING TO THE SUMMER, IT WAS
THESE KINDS OF OUTDOOR REVEALS
THAT EVERYBODY WAS EXCITED ABOUT
WHAT A DIFFERENCE HALF A YEAR
MAKES KIM BECAUSE THE END OF
SUMMER AUTO SHOW JUST SO MANY
MORE POSSIBILITIES THAN WINTER
AUTO SHOW AND LIKE YOU SAID,
OPEN AIR, GREAT WEATHER, AND IT
WAS FORD’S NIGHT AND JUST WHEN
YOU THOUGHT THEY WERE DONE AND
INTRODUCING THE NEW MUSTANG IT
HAD ONE MORE SURPRISE FOR
EVERYONE. THE EXCITEMENT OF
FORD’S NIGHT BEGAN WITH WHAT THE
COMPANY CALLED A STAMPEDE DOZENS
OF MUSTANGS TAKING OVER THE
ROADS FROM HEADQUARTERS IN
DEARBORN TO DOWNTOWN DETROIT.
THAT’S WHERE HUNDREDS OF FANS
AND MUSTANG OWNERS GATHERED IN
HEART PLAZA. THE ALL NEW FORD
MUSTANG. WITH NEW COLORS, STRIPE
PACKAGES INTERIORS, ALL BILLED
AS A TOTAL CUSTOMIZATION FOR
OWNERS. IN ADDITION TO THE NEW
ECO BOOST AND GT CHERRY ON TOP
MUSTANG DARK HORSE, FIRST OF ITS
NAME, FIRST NEW PERFORMANCE
SERIES IN MORE THAN TWO DECADES,
A NEW CHAPTER IN THEIR STORIED
RACING HISTORY OF FORD MOTOR
COMPANY IN MUSTANG. THE NEW
CHAPTER OF FORD RACING ACTUALLY
WAS ONCE WRITTEN DECADES AGO IN
THE FORD VERSUS FERRARI BATTLE,
AND THAT’S WHERE BILL FORD SAYS
THIS 500 HORSEPOWER MACHINE WILL
RUN FOR FORD AGAIN. TONIGHT I’M
ANNOUNCING THAT WE’RE GOING TO
GO BACK TO LAMONT AGAIN WITH
THIS MUSTANG. AS THAT
ANNOUNCEMENT DREW CHEERS. THE
NEW DARK HORSE LEFT MANY
AWESTRUCK. WHAT DO YOU THINK?
AMAZING. LORD, I DON’T KNOW
WHERE THE RIGHT WORDS AREN’T THE
SAME, BUT PROBABLY ONE OF THE
BEST MUSTANGS I’VE SEEN SO FAR.
PROBABLY THE BEST CAR I’VE EVER
SEEN. YEAH TO MAKE YOUR DAD GET
LET YOU GET BEHIND THE WHEEL.
SIT BACK THERE. TOLD THEM THAT
PREORDER IT ALREADY. YEAH
HOPEFULLY HE GETS HIS WISH,
RIGHT? I’M SURE DAD. WELL THAT
ACTUALLY WORKS AT THE WINDSOR
PLANT SO HE CAN GET THAT
DISCOUNT AND PREORDER IT
HOPEFULLY TO MAKE HIS SON HAPPY,
BUT IF YOU PICKED UP ON THE PUSH
TOWARDS FORD RACING THAT WAS
CLEARLY A POINT OF EMPHASIS.
TONIGHT LOTS OF DIFFERENT FOR
DRIVERS WERE SPRINKLED IN AS
PART OF THIS THIS PRODUCTION TO
UNVEIL THE NEW MUSTANG. BUT THAT
SEEMS TO BE THE VISION GOING
FORWARD. GOOD TIME, THOUGH.
WE’RE DOWNTOWN TONIGHT.

LOVE JASON. THE IDEA OF LAMONT
AGAIN AND THAT MYTHIC SORT OF
RETURN TO WHAT YOU SAID THAT WE
