Kenneth McDonald, was among two teenagers honored Thursday for their roles in breaking up another student's attack on a Kalamazoo Public Schools substitute bus driver this week.
Kenneth and an 18-year-old man from Parchment, who asked not to be identified, pulled a 16-year-old Kalamazoo boy off a Kalamazoo Public Schools bus driver after he had repeatedly punched the bus driver Tuesday.
"Too many times we hear of situations in which the bystanders don't become involved, either for fear or retribution," Probate Judge Curtis Bell told the teenagers at the Kalamazoo County Circuit Court's Family Division. "But in this case, you both saw something that was absolutely atrocious. You stepped in and did the right thing."
