MANCHESTER, N.H. — A woman seen in video boarding a Manchester school bus and yelling at students has been arrested.
Manchester police said they identified the woman as Lillian Gosselin, 33, of Manchester. They said she can be seen on a cellphone video taken by a Parkside Middle School student on Dec. 15 yelling at students on the bus.
Advertisement Manchester school officials said the woman stopped the bus after students threw objects out of it, apparently hitting her car. The district said the bus driver opened the door thinking the woman was reporting an issue with the vehicle.
That's when she boarded and started yelling at some of the students, using obscene language, police said.
Police said Gosselin is facing a misdemeanor charge of criminal threatening and a violation-level charge of reckless driving.
Gosselin was released on bail and is scheduled to appear in Manchester Circuit Court on Feb. 2.
The Manchester Transit Authority, which operates school buses in the city, could not be reached for comment. Officials previously told News 9 that they have reiterated to all drivers they shouldn't open the bus door in such situations.
Parents who had children on the school bus said they were relieved to hear that an arrest was made.

I wonder if there was any discipline for the students who threw stuff at her? And I know a guy who drives a school bus in the winter (he fishes in Alaska in the summer) and I think he said the bus windows are specially designed so students can’t throw stuff out, or only with difficulty.
There’s video of the entire incident from onboard cameras.
If something was thrown from the bus, the perps should be suspended from riding the bus for the year.
Let their mommies bear the brunt.
She’ll get more time than Smollet or Clinton.
Or the many big names who paid to have sex with underage girls.
Obviously democrats.
Future soccer hooligans in the making.

Why did they not investigate the womans claim that the students threw objects at her car?
Seems to me that is the root cause of the incident?
It would be grand fun to see if those throwing objects at cars in traffic, could be found guilty of a felony.
Oh my those poor students! Actually it was probably the best life lesson they learned all week. This nonsense of “creating safe spaces” denies young people complex situations where they learn to develop their street smarts and coping skills. Sometimes he lessons learned on school buses are more instructive than the classroom.
Wow.
She must have done one of those tricky police maneuvers where she rammed the back of the bus and made it go sideways.
What’s that called?
Heimlich Maneuver?
How about some rest of the kids who threw stuff at her car, maybe pay damages if any.
And I’m sure they have video of that too, or was that erased to protect the privacy of the poor kids.
They arrest a woman who has a reason for being mad but do not arrest the bus driver for allowing mayhem on his bus.
He should have been arrested because as the driver of the bus, he is responsible for the behavior of the kids.
well I only saw the one video with no sound...but if those “kids” were throwing things at passing cars its their little precious arses that should be punished.
If none of the students were disciplined, they only learned that they can get away with dangerous behavior before age 18.
As a kid, some friends and I pelted a car with snowballs, only to find it belonged to the local thug/felon/neighborhood ne’re do-well.
Several times we thought we had eluded him, and his car would suddenly appear again. He chased us for an hour.
The best speech I ever heard was in a situation like this. Football team on a bus on the way to the field, and a smart alec kid yelled, “hey baldy” to Big John who was in his back yard and was very sensitive to being bald. He got in his car, chased down the bus, and forced it to stop. the assistant coach in the first row was nicknamed “lurch” and was much of a man. He never left his seat or said a word. Part of what Big John said was he knew we all knew who said it and that we also knew he was not man enough to stand up and say anything to his face. It was the best thing that could have happened to that kid.
