Boy, 5, cries at stranger's doorbell cam, 'Will you help me find my mommy?' School bus driver dropped him off at wrong stop — on his 1st day riding bus, mom says.
A video of a 5-year-old Oklahoma boy crying at a stranger's doorbell camera and begging, "Will you help me find my mommy?" is going viral. His mother said his school bus driver dropped off the kindergartner at the wrong stop — and on his first day riding the bus, no less.
What are the details?
Kelly Mulholland said in TikTok video her son along with the daughter of her boyfriend were supposed to get off at a bus stop at Napa Valley Road and Bristol Park Boulevard in Edmond on Monday afternoon, the Oklahoman reported.
Instead, the bus arrived an hour late at the stop — and without the children, the paper said.
Turns out, the pair of 5-year-olds were wandering a neighborhood for an hour after being let off at the wrong stop, the Oklahoman said.
"My literal worst nightmare happened," Mulholland recounted in the video which was posted Tuesday, the paper said. She added in the clip that she and her son live with her boyfriend and his daughter.
The paper said Mulholland asked the bus driver where the kindergartners were dropped off, and when the driver didn't recall the exact location, she said in the video that another child on the bus told her the pair had exited the bus at the previous stop.
With that, Mulholland began looking around while her boyfriend went to the school, Charles Haskell Elementary, the Oklahoman noted.
Soon a neighbor drove up to Mulholland and asked whether she was searching for two kids, the paper said, adding that Mulholland said in her video that it was the neighbor with the Ring doorbell camera who said the security device notified him about the children's presence.
With that, the Oklahoman said Mulholland noted in the clip that she and others began knocking on doors around the area and finally found the children a few houses down from the home where the Ring doorbell camera recorded them.
"I am so incredibly proud of these kids," she said in the video, the paper noted. "They would alternate ringing doorbells. One would go up, and one would stay on the sidewalk to keep watch."
Mulholland added, "I'm not sharing this to scare anybody, but I think this is a cautionary tale. You need to teach your kids what to do if it happens," the Oklahoman added.

More from the paper:
The Edmond school district's policy is for bus drivers to only drop off students when a parent is present, and young students either have a wristband or a tag on their backpack identifying their bus.
According to the district, Edmond school bus drivers have received updated printouts of which students get off at each stop and have been reminded to individually check each student as they exit the bus.

'We don't say a penis belongs to a man': Kindergarten teacher reportedly says he exposes kids to the terms transgender and gender-queer
The Washington Post reported that a kindergarten teacher in Massachusetts said that he exposes children to the terms transgender and gender-queer, though he does not provide complete definitions since that would be too much for kids in kindergarten. The outlet reported that the educator wished to remain anonymous since his district had not cleared him to talk publicly.
The teacher discusses anatomy but does not categorize parts as being specifically male or female, according to the Post. "We don’t say a penis belongs to a man," the teacher remarked — it goes with a human, he noted. The kindergarten educator teaches that if a physician declares a baby to be a boy when he is born, that child is not necessarily a boy. "Someone who was born a boy may not feel they are a boy."
The Post also reported that biology teacher Sam Long of Denver South High School, who is transgender, said that "LGBTQ identities are a naturally occurring facet of human variation, and that is why we need to learn about them in the context of biology and human anatomy."
Issues surrounding radical leftist gender ideology are highly controversial and remain the topic of significant debate throughout the country. Many parents do not want their kids to be exposed to the reality-defying gender-bending dogmas peddled by the left.
"There's years of research that demonstrate that curriculums that include respect for others regarding their sexual orientation and gender identity are more effective," director of the division of adolescent and school health at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Kathleen Ethier stated, according to the Post. "When you make a school environment safe and supportive for the most vulnerable youth, you improve the school environment for everyone."
The U.S. government has been celebrating the LGBT movement by recognizing June as so-called pride month. President Joe Biden issued a proclamation declaring "June 2022 as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex Pride Month. I call upon the people of the United States to recognize the achievements of the LGBTQI+ community, to celebrate the great diversity of the American people, and to wave their flags of pride high," he said in the proclamation.
The Marine Corps issued a tweet that included a graphic featuring bullets with brightly-colored tips, in a nod to the LGBT rainbow symbol. The Air Force also posted a tweet recognizing pride month.
Government entities, such as the Treasury Department, have even hoisted pride flags to celebrate the cause du jour.
\u201cThroughout June, the USMC takes #Pride in recognizing and honoring the contributions of our LGBTQ service members. We remain committed to fostering an environment free from discrimination, and defend the values of treating all equally, with dignity and respect.\n\n#PrideMonth #USMC\u201d— U.S. Marines (@U.S. Marines) 1654090901
\u201cToday, @SecYellen raised the Pride flag at Treasury to express solidarity with LGBTQ+ Americans during #PrideMonth. This is the first time in history that the Pride flag has been raised at the Treasury building.\u201d— Treasury Department (@Treasury Department) 1654196513
