A brutal beating was caught on tape from inside a school bus.

The graphic video showed a middle school teen repeatedly hitting and taunting a 10-year-old boy.

The female bus driver can be heard yelling at the teen, and then moments later removing two teens from the bus; one of them just 14 years old.

That is a disturbing picture.

The one looks three times as large as the little boy.

What was the older kid doing - holding his hand out like he was going to shoot him with a gun? Or was that some gang symbol?

I watched it again. The perp is black and the little boy who was beaten is white.

No hate crime here though.

I don't blame the father for being outraged, but this
is the sort of thing that goes on constantly with
young boys/men, and older ones for that matter.
But the 14 year old needs a good a** whipping by someone
twice as big to let him know what it feels like.

"Hmm my 10 year old is about 5'4" and 180 lbs id like to see them try it on him."

Of course they won't try it on him. Bullies beat up much smaller children, because there is very little chance the bully will get hurt that way.

Bullies have lots of tricks. One is for different bullies to beat up the same small kid on different days. Then the school authorities will punish the victim for "getting into fights" (as if he had any choice in the matter).

Another trick is for a group of bullies to surround a little kid, one (or more) of them will beat him up, then the others will be "witnesses" who will say that the little kid "started it".

Public school officials are often criminally stupid, when it comes to dealing with bullies. The way to solve this is to provide school vouchers for all students, so that parents can send their kids to small, non-bully schools.

My opinion, But I think so much of this crap comes from using video games as babysitters. This is the video game generation, in full bloom. If you don't like someone, don't talk it out, beat the crap out of them. So many parents these days are so out of touch with their kids, and so much out of the picture.
That boy deserves some time behind the wood shed.
But, then the state would show up and call that child abuse.
I know bullies are old as time, But it just seems so wide spread now, and MUCH more violent than ever.

Agreed - The Father of this smaller child should tell his son good job for standing your ground ...but next time put a right hand right back in that kids nose!!..and come hell or high-water if he wants a fight give him one! (9 out of 10 times bullies like that will back away right then and there if popped in the nose).

And without question this kid won't be bullied afterwords no matter the outcome of any little tussle. Bullies and dipsh*ts like this bigger kid (while dumb) will understand there is easier kids to pick-on.

And too bad adults in charge can't discipline kids anymore because that bus driver should have rang that child's neck.

That is really disturbing. I feel so bad for that little boy.

...one of them just 14 years old.

I don't believe in this "just" crap. Many young teenagers these days act like grown-up thugs.

The public systems are infested with liberal school officials and judges that the bully will probably be given some "counseling" and be back in school in a couple days.

I applaud the bus driver for doing what she could, by removing the bullies from the bus.

How many bus drivers do you think would have just turned the other cheek.

Yeah, and if you noticed, they show the 10 yo's face, but not the beater, so it's not like they're trying to protect because of being a minor. The female bus driver got in the beater's face. She's lucky she wasn't beaten down, too.

I noticed that.

More evidence that the guilty are protected, while the innocent suffer.
