In the video, bus driver
Nancy Davis can be heard seemingly encouraging the abuse, though she was
aquitted of all child abuse charges a few months ago.
"Ugh, anything to get him
quiet! I've got to drive this bus," Davis is heard saying in the
video.
WSET-TV reports both teens
involved in the video were found guilty of disorderly conduct, assault, and
battery.
"I wanted parents to be
aware, that when I speak out, I'm speaking out for all kids. But unfortunately,
this did happen to my child, and I want parents to be aware of what's going on
in the school system," Roxanne Haskins, the boy's mother, told the
station.
School buses have been the
backdrop for other highly publicized bullying incidents lately. Back in May,
upsetting footage surfaced of children in Greece, N.Y., viciously taunting their
bus monitor, Karen Klein.His mother is currently awaiting for her Lawsuit to go forth against the school district!
