BTW, I would never let my kid on a public screwl bus..But, again, I have a choice that is not difficult to make.
The little brat should have shut her mouth, answered the bus drivers question and then been done with it. All these kids are thinking they are being “dissed” when anyone presents authority into a situation.
I don’t discount that. I believe the driver has the same personality...Just look at the daughter she raised who got involved.
My bratty, spoilded, arrogant, babied, foul mouthed, never is wrong as*hole child should be allowed to do whatever she want just as she is allowed to do at home.

Not too bright, are you? The daughter watched her mother being treated like garbage from a snot-nosed spoiled brat. It’s obvious the person with the problem personality is the idiot who wouldn’t sit down (and her mother for raising such a moron). Thank goodness the daughter had the decency to stand up and defend her mother.
I hope you haven’t reproduced, because I’d hate to see their personality/ies in public.
This type of stuff would never happen when I was a kid- times were a lot different. Bus drivers were treated with respect. In my day, bus drivers were on the same level as teachers. In fact, at my school, bus drivers were pretty high on the totem pole, and school officials more or less left them to their own devices. You would often see them swaggering through the halls, smacking students right and left for no reason. If you had a radio or sweater a driver liked, he would push you against the wall and take it away. They always hung out together and wore leather jackets that said “Bus Driver” on the back. They would threaten you, give you tittie twisters and snap your suspenders. In fact, if you ever hear some old geezer claim he walked 20 miles a day to school- well, it was only because he was afraid of the bus driver. A lot of kids probably didn’t like them, but I gotta admit- they were tough, but fair.
OMG!! If my mom was being attacked by a kid, I would certainly come to her defense!! Are you a kid who WOULDN'T try to protect your mom?? GODD FREAKING GRIEF!
Look at the video...The driver made the first move phsically...I can see that all were wrong here. The driver should have handled the matter in a manner that did not cause a brawl...She was definately as guilty as the teen who wanted off the bus. And watch how her daughter defends using the F-word and then calls the 15 year old a a bitch. Makes one wonder if this has not been brewing for some time...The driver is unfit to handle her bus and the action by her own child is an example of that.
That comment took me a few to sink in...
What a pathetic outcome you perpetuate. For God's sake get a grip on reality here.
If you had been the bus driver how would you have handled things?
WE are just reping what we sowed, Ann, Just reaping the seeds that were sowed in the 60’s.
Many of us were raised in the 60’s. What happened? We aren’t all self centered.
I have seen many videos on my local Fox 10 station. If I were the driver I would have called in to the school the disruptive student and then the police. The driver handled it completely wrong. I am glad all 4 involved are being charged. The police made the right decision.
We know you are glad. She called in serveral times. My question is how would you have kept her from getting off the bus?
The driver locked the doors..No one was getting off that bus. The driver struck the phone out of the students hand..First mistake in my opinion. The student went after her phone and proceeded to tell her mother what was going on when the drive pushed her back. Now tell me that was an appropriate action by the driver. Four are charged. Four handled it completely wrong. Four should be charged.
Are you not going to answer the question? What would you have done?
I thought I made it clear that striking the student was wrong. I would not have done that. I would have called the proper channels and waited until they arrived and made sure no one got off that bus. The bus was locked by the driver and no one was getting on or off that bus. That is what is suppose to happen.
I was raised in the 60’s also.
The people I was raised were not like that.
I went to public school and had good teachers that taught us both academically and practically. We respected the Servicemen/women.
We were raised in a small town rural setting, I don't know if that made a difference or not.
So you would not have touched her. Tell me how you would have kept her on the bus yourself..not what you think the driver did wrong. Remember if she reaches for the door bar you will have to move to avoid contact.
