A driver was nearly fired for taking her daughter to work and letting her sleep on the bus during a night shift. But after strong reaction from social media users, the woman was allowed to keep her job and the bus company offered to change her work hours, according to the Chinese online news outlet Pear Videos.

The woman, named Liu Xiaoqin, drives a bus in Changsha City, Henan Province, China. Liu had to bring her daughter with her on the night shift on May 21 since no one was at home.
