When Dillon Reeves, a young boy from Michigan, shouted “Someone call 911. Now!”, he was responding to an emergency situation on a school bus in the Detroit area.

The incident unfolded quickly, and adults on the bus were able to help the children out of the back door. “I don’t know that it could have gone any better,” Livernois said.
Dillon’s parents, Steve and Ireta Reeves, were proud of their son’s heroic actions. “We’ve got a little hero,” Dillon’s father said. “He’s been on my lap driving country roads, pulling into driveways since about four years old... He’s a good driver.”
