WALTON COUNTY, Ga. - The father of a middle school student who jumped out of a Walton County bus on Wednesday said his son did it to get away from bullies.The 11-year-old boy is recovering from a concussion and a broken elbow.
Family said they notified the school of previous incidents and this one pushed the boy too far."Death. [That's the] first thing I'm thinking when I hear you jumped out a vehicle because I'm curious if it was moving and I'm thinking about moving traffic and I was concerned he'd get ran over or killed," Dion Murphy said."I believe he was trying to escape the situation.
At this moment he felt back was up against the wall," he said.Murphy said he watched a video from the bus at a meeting with the Youth Middle School.
