But that would turn out to be more difficult than anticipated. Axel was grasping for Amy as soon as she started to leave. Isabel, the bus driver, did something quite amazing at that moment: she reached behind her and took Axel’s hand.

Amy received the necessary snap thanks to that consoling gesture. She posted it to Facebook, where it quickly became well-liked by others.

The picture was also shared by the local police department, which commended Isabel for supporting Amy during a trying period.

“I didn’t think it was like that big of a deal personally. I guess this is something that I would do,” Isabel later said.

Isabel’s simple gesture of consolation proved to be exactly what Axel needed, according to sources. The following day, the 10-year-old had a new attitude; he waited at the station by himself, greeted Isabel, and boarded the train.

Isabel, good job! Amy is undoubtedly very appreciative of what you did for her son.
