It's a law important to remember as the new school year gets underway. When a school bus is stopped with its flashing red lights, traffic in both directions must stop, for obvious safety reasons. In some areas, failure to do so can land you behind bars. That’s exactly where some frustrated parents would like to see the people they've filmed as they rush past their kids' busses. And a13-year-old had just finished swimming in a Florida creek when an alligator lunged from the water and bit him. Not only did this kid not freak out - Les Trent says he batted the critter away and then calmly called for help. Plus, as a dispatcher she handles emergency calls all day long. However, one call came from someone she knows very well. It was her little boy telling her, their house was on fire. And there’s no quitting for this lady! She's a maternity ward nurse who delivers baby after baby. However, one little girl born more than twenty years ago turned out to be extra special. She's now her daughter-in-law!
