Some cartoons have had very specifically themed episodes about kids who ride buses. More often than not, these episodes will involve kids who take the bus for the very first time only to get lost or end up at a completely wrong stop than where they should have gotten off. These are usually presented as a cautionary tale for kids to pay attention while riding with strangers on public transport.
Unfortunately, that after-school special ended up feeling more like a real-life horror story for a mom on TikTok named Kelly Mulholland (@kellymulholland95), who shared a harrowing tale about how a bus driver dropped off her kindergarten kids at the wrong stop.

A bus driver dropped off two kindergarten kids at the wrong stop.
The video, which was posted in late August 2023, started with some truly scary doorcam footage of a crying young boy going up to a stranger’s doorbell.
“Would you help me find my mommy?” he asks in desperation.

Kelly shared the whole experience in two videos and called the whole ordeal her “literal worst nightmare.”

According to her, this was the first time that her 5-year-old rode the school bus. The boy was also traveling with the daughter of Kelly’s boyfriend, who each live with each other. Though they were both supposed to get off at the same bus stop, the driver reportedly did not do their due diligence in making sure they got home safely.

“[The] school bus driver did not check the tags on their backpack versus the stop they got off on and did not even notice that they got off,” Kelly recalled. She also explained that when following up with the driver, they could not specifically remember which street on which the kids got off.
As Kelly and her boyfriend searched frantically for the kids, other neighbors even became involved in the search. Apparently, the kids had been ringing more and more doorbells down the street in an effort to find someone to help them. For at least half a mile, they had “wander[ed] around for an hour, trying to find somebody to help them.”

Thankfully, this story has a happy ending. After they searched until 5 p.m. that night in over-100-degree Oklahoma weather, the children were found in another woman’s house who was keeping an eye on them until Kelly came around. Needless to say, though, Kelly and her boyfriend were wildly unhappy that this happened in the first place.

“Policies were not followed,” Kelly proclaimed. “Not only did he not check to make sure what stop they were supposed to get off at, [but] he’s also not supposed to let them off of the bus without a parent present.”

In the end, though, Kelly said that she’s proud of how her kids handled the situation. They had apparently alternated between ringing doorbells and keeping watch for any strangers. She advises all parents with young children to teach them how to use doorbells in an emergency.

However, Kelly also proclaimed that her kids “will not be riding the bus for a very, very long time.”

Many of us have difficult things from our pasts that define us today, and Moriah Plath of Welcome to Plathville is no different. In her case, however, her childhood diagnosis of alopecia was hidden away for years — until now.

Moriah Plath’s alopecia diagnosis truly shaped who she was for many years.
As other sufferers know, alopecia is a type of hair loss that occurs on the scalp, face, and body, per the American Academy of Dermatology Association. It can begin at any age, and for Moriah, at age 3, she received her diagnosis.

“I would look myself in the mirror and I would say, ‘You are ugly. Nobody will ever love you,’” she heartbreakingly recalls during an episode of the show.
She goes on to explain, “I lost all my hair for several years completely, not even eyebrows or eyelashes,” per People.

Moriah, who described herself as “completely bald,” shared more about her experience with the incurable disease, saying during the show, “The doctors said it was alopecia but it was like a rare kind of alopecia cause it just all fell out immediately and came back years later. Everywhere I went, I was made fun of by kids my age: [at] church, [by] my siblings. And that’s when I really started to see myself as different.”

Moriah tried to block out her alopecia experience when her hair came back.
Moriah was seemingly in denial about having had alopecia, relaying that “every single one of my family members knew never to show a picture of me when I was younger to anybody. And never to tell anybody.”
Moriah admitted she wanted to “block” out the very hard time in her life, and in one scene of Welcome to Plathville, she says to her father that when her hair returned, she decided to “forget” about the alopecia.
Moriah’s parents Barry and Kim made her feel “beautiful” when she had alopecia.

In a moving Instagram post shared in May 2023, Moriah said about her father Barry Plath, “He’s shown me the meaning of unconditional love.”
Moriah’s parents were very supportive during her struggles with alopecia.
Indeed, it seems that during the years she had alopecia, Barry and his ex-wife Kim were a source of support for their daughter.
“I think you and mom were the only ones that actually told me I was beautiful,” Moriah tells Barry on the episode.
Still, her parents couldn’t make her pain go away completely. “For a while I was angry because you guys couldn’t fix it and you were my parents and you were supposed to fix it, but you couldn’t,” she shares.
Today, it seems that Moriah is more comfortable with her past, since she is addressing the experience with the condition on a TV show. Since as many as 160 million people around the world suffer from alopecia, there’s no doubt that the reality star opening up about her own diagnosis will help others feel more seen.

Baltimore Orioles fans have a lot to celebrate this year as their team appears to be playoff bound, but now, that joy has been tempered by the news that Brooks Robinson, a legend for the team, has died at the age of 86. Brooks spent his entire 23-year career with the Orioles, and was an All-Star in 18 separate seasons for the team.
Brooks is widely recognized as one of the greatest defensive third basemen to ever play the sport, and his number was retired by the Orioles in 1978. He earned the nickname “Mr. Oriole,” and those who followed the game when he played or even just heard stories about him likely know how much he meant to Baltimore fans.

What was Brooks Robinson’s cause of death?
Following the news of his death on Sept. 26, 2023, many naturally wondered what Brooks’s cause of death was.
His death was first announced by the Orioles in a joint statement with his family.
“We are deeply saddened to share the news of the passing of Brooks Robinson,” the statement read. “An integral part of our Orioles Family since 1955, he will continue to leave a lasting impact on our club, our community, and the sport of baseball.”

No cause of death was listed as part of that statement, but Brooks had faced a number of health challenges in the later years of his life. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2009, and had to have surgery in 2021 to repair a broken arm.

For now, though, his exact cause of death remains unknown, and will likely be the subject of some speculation following the news of his death.
What requires no speculation, though, is the legacy Brooks established on the field. The high watermark of his career may have come in 1970 during the World Series, when his excellent play on both sides of the ball helped the team beat the Reds in five games to take home the title. Few players have had a greater impact on the sport in general or on the team they played for in particular.
Our prayers are with Brooks’s family, friends, and fans during this time.
