FULL TITLE: Video of the moment boy is brutally beaten on school bus... after mother campaigned to make them free
When Lora Hoagland was fighting to make buses to and from Franklin Township schools in Indiana free for all families, she didn't think her son's very trip to class would land him in the hospital.
It all started when Caleb Jones, 14, unwittingly sat in the seat of a violent classmate, 15, who decided to push, punch and berate when he did not get up while the bus was moving.
A video of the incident was posted on Facebook by the attacker, in which he bragged 'dat wassnt nun'.
Caleb ended up getting staples in his head and the boy, who is a minor, was arrested for battery and disorderly conduct as well as suspended from school.
'I help to fight to get those buses back,' said a heartbroken Mrs Hoagland to WishTV.
'Im fighting for parents to get reimbursement back, and that includes this boys family and that boy.'
Before Mrs Hoagland's crusade, the families of students at Franklin Township schools had to pay a hefty fee to have their children bussed to school. Due to her outspokenness, this year, kids rode for free.

Free? I thought they were free for kids. Paid by our tax dollars.
Someone explain this to me please.
When Amish Attack.
my youngest two ears ago went to a school where the kids got breakfast and lunch and where their parents never paid for it.
My youngest was in line waiting to get his lunch when a kid said he gets his lunch for free.
My youngest turned to him and said” it is not free my parents have paid for that food you eat, nothing is free, someone always pays”
So proud but what does it say that parents send their kids to school with no breakfast, I mean come on, two peices of toast and jam at the least, and a glass of milk or orange.
That free breakfast crap should be stopped right away on the first day, it’s B/S and for kids ot now at aged 7 say they get free this and that shows me that they have no same anymore or any pride.
If Obama had a son, he’d look like the violent thug in the video of the attack.
“Dat wussint nun”? 15 years old and still in Kindergarten?
Sigh- Why do I forsee “Reverend Al” getting involved and coming to the aid of the attacker due to the mother using the word “boy” twice to describe him?
Violence of blacks towards weaker whites is simply a lesson I learned going on half century ago.
Its just how it is.
Seems freepers are less shocked than they were 10 years ago.
That used to amuse me actually...something I first dealt with in 1970.
if you are a kid remember...even the one you think is your buddy may turn on you too with the pack if peer pressure gets to you
or maybe he won’t ...I actually had a robust Jamaican pure black help me fight a pack once...and he was bad ass...
there are exceptions but you can’t run yer life on that
It seems likely that in the time of our caveman ancestors, a hunting party came back with hundreds of pounds of mammoth meat but without one of their fellow hunters. A stay at home dad minced out of the cave and exclaimed, “Wow look at all that food, and it’s free.” I’d like to think that my ancestors beat the clueless dolt to death but it’s apparent some survived and reproduced.
But it wasn’t racially motivated.
What you're witnessing here is a long-term plan to turn entire segments of our society from human beings to nothing more than grazing animals whose sole purpose is to provide "customers" for various businesses and industries that have a veested interest in selling crap to them.
Think of the "free lunch" kid in your story as a pigeon who shows up at your park bench every day waiting for someone to toss it some bread crumbs. The pigeon doesn't pay for the bread, and the company that produces the bread doesn't really care WHO pays for it. If they can successfully lobby state governments and school districts to give "free" meals to hordes of kids who aren't likely to be any more successful in their lives than pigeons in a park, then they've done just fine as far as the company's bottom line is concerned.
exactly
Well, and go look in the trash and see how much of that “free” food you pay for is thrown away. I was a teacher, I saw it.
sorry but I was saying myyoungst pointed out that the kids do not get free food but you say I shoudl go and look in the trash and you was a teacher.
sorry do not get the connection unless you meant to post to someone else
WTF??? This is english? We in a 3rd world country or something? Thugistan, by the looks of it!
Another son of the empty chair...
“When Amish Attack.”
So much for the spawn of the “Great Society”.
As much as I’d like to dig up LBJ and give him a swift kick to the nuts, I don’t think it would solve anything...
See Post #10. The company that sells the school district the “free” food doesn’t care where the food goes. Believe me, they’d be perfectly content if every scrap of food they shipped to a school cafeteria got loaded into the back of a dump truck and carted away to a landfill.
Ounce again we get our real news from the U.K. media and not our own.
Had experience with bullies when I was in high school.
It was hell for 8-9th grade, not just for me, but for many. Bus ride was just awful...both directions.
There really is only one answer to it. determine who your main bully is, and beat his ass in front of all of his friends.
If he is bigger than you, then fight dirty. Grab his jewels and squeeze and twist. If that doesn’t work, punch him in the eye with your thumb extended.
If you take it, they will dish it. If you dish it, they will crumble like the cowards they are.
How did I know before I even clicked on the article...
Maybe if momma had spent less pan-handing for free busing, she could have worked harder at a real job, made a bit more money and moved her kids to a less “ethnically-rich” neighborhood where her children wouldn’t have to live in fear.
