(1) Lady is waiting for her kid to get off bus but kid is in back of bus and is scared to walk off bus b/c of boy in front standing up in aisle taunting her;
(2) Out of frustration, lady gets on bus, tosses heckler aside and goes to back of bus to retrieve kid. But kid demurs because heckler has now stood back up in aisle and is walking towards lady's kid in back of bus. So Lady grabs him, takes him back to seat and tries to force him to sit there. In the meantime, she tells her kid to go around her and get off the bus.
I guess the alternative to getting her scared kid off the bus (if talking didn't work) was to physically get on the bus, pull her own kid down the aisle towards the exit, but then.....the two of them would have probably banged into the heckler (if he didn't move on his own).

Wow. She went way too far. I would have picked up my own kid and carried her off the bus. But that's just me.
Kind of makes you wonder though... where was the bus driver during all of this?
