He suffered bumps and bruises and wrist and elbow injuries, his mother told WTVD. She said she's furious.
"A bus driver is supposed to make sure that her kids are supposed to be safe," Serena Baker said. "I don't send my son on a school bus to get hurt."
The child was treated and released from a local hospital.
Police arrested the bus driver, who was charged with careless and reckless driving.
