This video only shows the driver kicking the child down and does not show what occured between the bus driver and the child prior to that inappropriate action. So the reader has no real idea of what was going on in this incident.

Nothing that would justify kicking a child off of the steps of a school bus, IMO.

Just what can an 8 year old do to a well padded adult?

Quite a bit of damage, actually. Depends on what level of violence the kid was doing - if there was any violence at all. The tape does not show the interaction prior to the bus driver going animal.

I said the bus driver’s action was inappropriate. And, if the kid has problems with violence, the kid should not be mainstreamed in a public school. No public school staff nor students should have to deal with violent wackos hiding under victim labels nor should they have to deal with dysfuctional adults who are violent with students.

“””Nothing that would justify kicking a child off of the steps of a school bus, IMO.””””

You’re right. Not justified. But the kid needs to learn that he cannot do that because some people don’t care if its justified or not. Even after everyone argues whether it was justified or not, it will not change the fact that the kid still has a busted face.

What? Should we let a kid get a beatdown and THEN say well that was wrong?

Like I said earlier, he is going to be violent to 9 people, then that tenth person is going to hurt him.

My nephew was playing Santa Claus at one of the local fire halls. A 9 year old decided she didn't like the toy she got. My nephew required 2 surgeries and may not be able to have children.
