South Carolina Bus Driver Heals Troubled Kindergartner With Kindness “You’re My Little Buddy”

A remarkable friendship blossomed between an unlikely pair—Mr. Charles, a bus driver for Berkeley County School District, and Kameron, an elementary student who had just completed kindergarten.

Kameron's experience with kindergarten didn't begin like that of an average child. He struggled with frequent negative behavior issues, which led to numerous visits to the principal's office each day.

Recognizing Kameron's struggles, Mr. Charles made the compassionate decision to mentor and support him throughout this challenging journey.

From Fox 8 Live:


Mr. Charles says he noticed this with Kameron and decided to step up.

“I said, ‘Look, you my little buddy,’” Mr. Charles said. “And I said, ‘We’re going to do this together and every day that you be good, Mr. Charles is going to have a prize for you on a Friday.’”

One of Kameron’s teachers, Stephanie Williams, a special education teacher at Cane Bay Elementary, says she would take Kameron out to the bus at the end of every school day.

“And ever since that day, there’s not been a problem,” Williams said. “He’s been fantastic and wonderful. Trying new things.”

Eisenberg says she feels comforted knowing her child is safe.

“It’s like night and day,” Eisenberg said. “And all it took was one special person to give Kameron a little bit of his time and it just made all the difference in the world, for both Kameron and ourselves.”

Mr. Charles says when he switched school districts to drive for Berkeley County, it was for a new environment. However, little did he know the reasoning would be Kameron.

“He’s very special to me and I’m just hoping that it’ll always be that way,” Mr. Charles said.


Mr. Charles truly embodies the essence of a beautiful and kind soul.

This heartwarming story is reminiscent of the touching narratives found in John Hughes films.
