Mother detained on TTC bus because daughter was sleeping in stroller 

You can make a citizen arrest if you feel something is wrong with a child. You'd probably be angry if she was riding the bus with a dead child.

@@kandik7641 Good luck with that… You don’t have any right to restrain anyone. You call the police. “Citizen arrest” lmao

​​@@kandik7641u can make a citizen's arrest, but you better know what you are going, because you will be the one committing a felony.😂

None, observe and report. Why is this not at least on alternate duties.

Anyone can, under the right circumstances, make a citizens arrest in Ontario. But you need to be extremely careful because you can only make a citizens arrest if you have a reasonable belief that a felony is or has been committed. And two things, which this driver didn't do, is you have to let the person know you are making a citizens arrest and you have to tell them your reason for doing so. Plus you can not force the arrest (which I think trapping someone on the bus against their will might be considered force ... a type of hostage taking). You are also required, by law, to contact the police asap and it sounds to me like the driver may have only contacted their supervisor. If this is TTC policy on how drivers are to respond it is inadequate, and possibly illegal, as policy does not supersede the law. The driver meant well but TTC training in this matter sucks. If she had actually been someone who was harming the child she might have reacted by harming the driver or another passenger. Plus holding someone for half an hour was unreasonable. BTW, making an unjustified citizens arrest can result in a law suit.

@@sessions9869 I doubt the union would allow it.

Sue

Bossiness, nosiness, self-righteousness, meddling and policing other people's actions have skyrocketed to levels not seen since the the Cultural Revolution or the Puritans.

You'd probably want him sued if she was riding the bus with a dead child.

@@kandik7641 her daughter was asleep. Why didn't the bus driver ask the mother to wake the kid up. Guess he was too stupid to think of that, but then it doesn't take a lot of brains to be a bus driver does it.

​​@@evelyngott2056this is the reason not everyone is a brain surgeon. The bis driver seems to need one, though.

​@kandik7641 In Canada suing people isn't a way of life the way it seems to be in the US.

@@evelyngott2056 maybe because if the mother had done something to the child she could turn violent. It's so disgusting to call someone out for being stupid because of the job they have. No doubt you're the type to call a Starbucks employee stupid while getting your latte there. Bus drivers are trained to call their supervisors if they suspect something and not handle it themselves because bus drivers get assaulted everyday. If she had smothered or drugged her child, how do you suppose it would have gone down if he'd confronted her?

They don't

@@BOZKESH Speaking sarcastically ….😉

Yeah. Just the other day a grandpa was complaining about the same thing to me.

So you think crimes are not news worthy?

Someone holding you and your child hostage is minor? Got it 👍

Thats not his business

I think he should undergo a psychiatric assessment as a condition of continued employment. Not kidding at all.

Driver must have been high or drunk or both

🤡

explain it to deez nutz

Or he was a creep & a pervert ...

@@redpillbulgaria-v2.063 I do not think so Mr. redpillbulgaria. You watch too much movies.

@@redpillbulgaria-v2.063 I question, pervert?

Public transportation sucks big time......I wouldn't use it even if you paid me..,!!

never on time in my books

I swear if that was me, I would've indented that driver's face, then get arrested.

In so called Canada under Canadian law anywhere a man can go topless a woman can also go topless. That driver should be terminated immediately.

Because that is the procedure he has to follow

the seats fold up to make room for strollers

Really?

😂😂😂

Only if you put up with it.

Yes. They think they are Queens . One TTC driver rejected me and my child saying that one bus only can take one stroller. Once I got on the bus, she told me that if I don't get off the bus will stop. And she did that . Very ridiculous

Exactly...!!

Uh because this is arbitrary detainment.

@@illmagicalNot really. We'd have to see how the child presented. It sounds like she's making stuff up, because why would you be afraid of being on a bus that is calling police? That's like super safe.

@@Rundvelt So what we have is your fantasy vs reality.

Because he is not the police, to detain her. And I've never seen a bus driver even look at a sleeping child in covered stroller😮 Are they required to check?

@@godsaveourplanet LOL that movie IS far right.

Oh im sure you would big chutes.

@@brickjohnston4060 ...bet on it.

So many vile males. Gotta watch your back and know how to take your selfdefense to the next level. Cops will say not - but we know what cops are, don't we ladies?

@@michellerose1190 Cf. Lucy Letby.

@@dixonpinfold2582 I heard. But I'm less worried about defending myself against a babykilling nurse than some rando warpedmale or ex because they ain't scared of females. They come for me they gonna get a big surprise. Like fab feminist Bell Hooks says, "Fight back. They're coming for you anyway."

Obviously that driver isn't all there.🤨

Did you know in our man's world both children and women when telling the truth are believed less often than men are? - Men like you.

Bus drivers lucky mother wasnt black 😂

She said in the video she would have woken the child up if she had known that was the reason he was keeping her there.

Stop huffing paint.

Funny how some of the much older kids riding the bus on a long bus trip which they are on seem to wake up just when they are about to get to their stop or when you need another sentinel in the city around who can help the lost find their way again.

You are clueless

What crime. Having a child asleep in a stroller.

Wrong! A crime MUST be observed for the detention to be lawful. Where do you people come from?

What kind of person would even say that!

They come from one of the country's that inspired the nazis to colonize Europe and put the Jews into reservations.@@douglasdonaldson2510

you ARE correct - BUT - if you are mistaken it is YOU who is going to court......

Now that would be interesting
