Mom says 4-year-old son left on school bus, given to stranger

HORRY COUNTY, S.C. (WBTW) – A mother in Horry County, South Carolina, claims her 4-year-old son was left on a school bus and given to a stranger last week.

Myeisha Marks said the stranger safely brought him back to Aynor Elementary School, where he attends pre-kindergarten. However, she said the incident left her concerned about Horry County Schools' safety protocols.

Marks said she was celebrating her birthday two hours away from home on Dec. 5 when she got a call from son Shamiar Smith Jr.'s aunt, saying he had not gotten off the bus. His aunt told the bus driver his name and that he was wearing a tag with his personal information.

According to Marks, bus drivers are supposed to check tagged students' information, have them sit near the front of the bus and give them to an adult. The bus driver checked the entire bus, but told her Smith wasn't there.

"I was two hours away, and the first thing she said was 'Junior didn't get off the bus,'" Marks said. "I panicked, like, 'Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God.' I just hung up the phone [and] called the school."

Aynor Elementary School staff called the bus driver, who said he found the boy asleep under his coat in the middle of the bus and dropped him off with one of his neighbors. Smith's aunt went to the neighbors, but they said they had not seen him.

Marks said she called Aynor Elementary again and the staff told her that her son was back at school. Smith's aunt went to the school, and the staff explained that the bus driver had let Smith off with a stranger, and the stranger brought him back to school.

"If he would've checked the tag when he got on the bus, he would've known," Marks said. "So that's what I'm thinking, like, he didn't do his job from the beginning. He didn't see him, which, he was visible, and he gave him to a complete stranger. That's like, three or four different things that went wrong."

Marks said she and the stranger spoke the next day and that the woman told her that Smith was scared but she kept him safe. Marks said she's grateful.

A few days later, Marks said she asked Aynor Elementary staff members if she could see the school bus surveillance video from that day. Marks said her son was in the middle of the bus but not covered by his coat.

Marks also said she filed a complaint and will continue to call the school to see whether the bus driver will go through re-training or be suspended pending an investigation.

"I just don't even want to think about if something would've happened," she said. "The first thing I was thinking, like, 'Oh my God. My child got kidnapped. Where is he?' Like, it was horrible. I just feel like they need to do better. They really need to do better with the young kids."

An Horry County Schools spokesperson told Nexstar's WBTW the school and bus office have been in touch with Marks and that she reviewed the bus video. Procedures from the incident are being reviewed, including the "Tagged Child Program."

The Ashton Jeanty Bears Smoke Just Got Even Thicker

The draft is three weeks away now. GM Ryan Poles and head coach Ben Johnson have pieced together an off-season that is earning widespread praise across the league. The question is whether they can stick the landing with their 1st round pick in the draft. Current projections have the top three picks likely being a mix of Cam Ward, Travis Hunter, and Abdul Carter. After that, it gets tricky. People in Chicago want to know where running back Ashton Jeanty will end once the dust settles.

Widespread belief has been that the Las Vegas Raiders are the heavy favorites to take him at 6th overall, with New Orleans at #9 also being a possibility. It makes sense. Las Vegas’ best option right now is a 33-year-old Raheem Mostert. New Orleans knows Alvin Kamara turns 30 in July. Both teams need to think about the future at that position. Both have head coaches who like to run the ball. One thing is clear. A source told SM that those around the league believe one thing is certain.

“He likely won’t get passed Chicago if he falls that far.”

Ashton Jeanty is a strong probability for the Bears.

Whispers from Halas Hall indicate they love the Boise State star. It isn’t hard to see why. He nearly broke Barry Sanders’ single-season rushing record in 2024, nearly winning the Heisman in the process. The guy carried his team to the college football playoffs. He’s built like a brick house with power, speed, contact balance, and vision. There aren’t any truly glaring weaknesses in his game. He’s earned comparisons to the likes of LaDainian Tomlinson and Marshawn Lynch. The Bears haven’t had a back of that caliber since Matt Forte.

Try to imagine what this offense could look like with Ashton Jeanty, Rome Odunze, D.J. Moore, and Cole Kmet all as options for quarterback Caleb Williams. Throw all of it into Johnson’s offense, and you can understand why some people around the league aren’t wild about the idea. They are quietly hoping Jeanty goes somewhere else. One thing is certain. If he gets past the Raiders, the noise will get loud in a hurry. It would mark the first time in 20 years the Bears have taken a running back in the 1st round.
