ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. —An Albuquerque mother says a school bus driver will no longer allow her daughter, who has cerebral palsy, to board the special needs bus. Related

Carol Montoya told KOAT Action 7 News she received a threatening text message from the driver, after Montoya made it clear her daughter Valarie, a second-grader at Chaparral Elementary, requires extra attention and special care.

"I guess she was fed up," Montoya said of the driver, "and she told me my daughter has too many medical problems that she couldn't handle."

Montoya said she received an obscenity-laced text message from the driver that read, "Get your f--ing fat a-- up and take your own f--ing retarded daughter to school. I ain't no nurse and sh--."

Heh. Roger that. But if you really wanted to destroy somebody... You could do it and nobody would be able to prove otherwise.

That’s the thing that everybody should know.

it’s the prevailing attitude of blacks towards whites today. I see that attitude all the time. Not even looking for it, it’s just there.

Special needs children can very challening and you have to want to help them.

You would also need training to manage their emotions and yours.

If the kid was special needs with emotional impairments and was on a bus with regular kids then that child is on the wrong bus.

Looks like mommy fk’d up and committed some felonies.

Spoofing for one, false report, interstate wire, etc.

All calls travel interstate so there is no way out of that.

The language on her phone doesn’t match the language and tenor of the bus driver.

Besides, the driver is actually hittable....If Laz didn’t get to her 1st.

It isn’t a game; it’s common sense. Nine times out of ten the assumption is on target.

Reading more threads at this site we see that the Alb Public Schools say the driver did NOT send this alleged message.

A look into Montoya’s background might prove enlightening. $$$$$$$
