A 7-year-old boy from Memphis allegedly suffered a concussion after he was dragged off a school bus by his feet in an incident captured on video.
The boy, a student at Robert R. Church Elementary School, was forcibly removed from school bus by an unidentified male employee on April 12, FOX13 reported. Shortly before the video was recorded, the employee was allegedly breaking up a fight.

I tell you what else about this video. Only thing "shocking" about it is how the kids don't behave. Curtis would never have allowed it.

The kid must have ordered a Starbucks.
As a teacher I can tell you that your typical kid doesn’t have the same attitude towards bus drivers, teachers, principals, etc. as kids did when we were young. It’s even worse if you deal with kids at alternative public schools or inner city schools...it’s unbelievably bad.
Is that kid speaking English?
I may be wrong but I think he is yelling to a lady who sounds black and says “shut your foul mouth”. Maybe bus monitor.
But this white driver, time to be well armed, cause this will be everywhere by tomorrow.

I believe you! I’ve seen stories posted here about how some of the 18 year old snowflakes act towards police so can only imagine how the younger ones act in school.
Like I said my school bus driver Curtis would never allowed this! Don’t get me wrong Curtis was cool but he did not allow cut-ups!

We have no idea how great of a threat that seven year old posed to the kids on the bus, the bus driver, his teachers or even police officers. Quite likely, the bus driver feared for his life.
Let me guess....the child is black and the school bus driver is white.
Here’s my bus patrol story.
Boarding the bus after school, heading for home.
I assume my “patrol” position at the front of the bus as the door closes.
I hear crying and screaming. One young man is holding his head and weeping. I walk over and ask what happened. The kid sitting next to him says “He broke my candle!”
Sure enough he was holding a long taper candle, broken in half.
The crying child exclaims, “He hit me in the head with it!”
well the way I figure it they could just call in the police and take him off in handcuffs but then the news will raise an even bigger fuss. You just can’t win on this.
The brat was told to get off the bus and would not obey. So either the bus driver drags him or the police handcuff him and drag him. which do you prefer?
Oh I’m waiting for the “special needs” card to be pulled and that’s why he was acting up. You know he could not help his behavior, he has a “problem”.
Why did he have a candle??
He made it in some art class.
True story.
With the perp being dragged from the bus, the people of Memphis will undoubtedly sleep better tonight.
I believe it.
Who could make up a candle? :)
The kid with the candle was a punk.
He’s probably doing 25-to-life somewhere...
ROFL
I believe you....we respected and feared, and loved our teachers back in the day...your parents always took the side of the teacher, no questions asked...
I was always afraid of the other kids on the bus. They’d start the fight, I’d finish it and I’d be the one in trouble. So, I just walked the three miles or ran them. At the time, (the 1970’s) you could still ride a bicycle to school.
