LEE COUNTY, Fla. — It’s the second week of school in Lee County and multiple cars have already endangered kids’ lives by not stopping for the school bus. 

A driver’s dash camera captured a video of a child getting run over after he got off the bus on 23rd Street West, near Unice Avenue South in Lehigh Acres.

Only a few days later, another driver captured it happening again on the same road. Two more drivers broke the law and never stopped to let the kids cross near Yvonne Avenue South. 

Aleia Simon said her kids use this bus stop. She said she’s worried her kids could get hurt.

“It’s scary, it scares me, I feel terrified and upset! My five-year-old, he’s a kindergartener, he doesn’t know sometimes to look both ways before he crosses the street,” said Simon.

Changes may be on the way. A new law now allows Florida school buses to be equipped with stop arm cameras to catch illegal passing. Florida is now the 26th state to do this. 

Steve Randazzo understands parents’ concerns. 

He is the vice president of Bus Patrol America.  

He says 90 percent of the buses in the country that have cameras on them are from his company.  

“There’s an alarming problem in the State of Florida in perspective of people violating this law. We’re nearing the finish line with several counties, and we can announce those partnerships in the coming days,” he said.

Randazzo said his company uses cameras with artificial intelligence called ‘Ava’ that detect school bus-stopping violations, using technology called object recognition.

“If a car illegally passes the school bus in violation of state law, Ava is able to take a 20 to 30-second clip capture of that alleged violation, including the license plate — and transmits the evidence to law enforcement,” said Randazzo.

The Lee County School District wouldn’t tell ABC7 if it’s adding cameras to its fleet, but said they’re considering it.

“We are in the very early stages of reviewing the law and its implementation, so no determination has been made,” said a spokesperson for the district.

Shevaris Moody has children that ride buses in Lee County. 

“It’s very hot out here around this time and it’s a lot of road rage, it still gives you no excuse to drive around buses… you have to stop — it’s unacceptable. If the cameras come in it will be a big help,” said Moody.
