A school van driver was caught on a video chat on her phone as she was taking a student home, and the student recorded what was going on.
The van picks up and drops off students from High Point Regional High School. 
Michelle Urban's son took the video of his van driver last Thursday.
It seems he was the only passenger.
The driver can be seen and heard partaking in a video chat during the route.
The cellphone is not in the driver's hand, but it is mounted on the windshield.
Urban shared the video on her Facebook and wrote, "I'm completely and utterly shocked that this woman is brazen enough to do this." She goes on to write, "Would you want your child driven by her?"
The driver is with DW Clark and Son out of Franklin, and they have a contract with the school.
DW Clark and Son says the driver is no longer doing the school route, but as for her employment status, they say it's a personnel issue, so it's confidential.
