We don’t have the whole unvarnished story here, I think. If you look at the picture of the ‘disabled’ girl and her mother it might give some perspective. That girl is huge for her age and built like a tank. One could only imagine that bulk and size coupled with a bi-polar attitude coming into play. The look of the mother can, to me, only be described as “yeah man...I’m gonna git my effing money outta dis.”

This, coupled with a lack of to what extremes the bi-polar disorder extends, and a very very curious comment in the article about “the full sized bus.....”....makes me think there is more here than meets the eye.

So due to her size and your perception of her mother's attitude you figure she DESERVED to be thrown off a moving bus into traffic? That there is a valuable perspective and mitigating circumstances whereby throwing her off a moving bus into traffic was a reasonable response and not at all assault and battery and attempted murder?

It was a bus full of “special ed” kids.

This is what happens when you encourage your child to act crazy to get gubmint checks. They have to ride the bus with the other kids getting crazy checks, only some of them really are crazy (and dangerous).

I think your posting is very uncharitable and over the top.

That girl is not “huge” for a 13-year-old. And I think the mother’s look suggest a level of anger that would be most appropriate after such an attack on her child.

As to the mention of a full-sized bus, I suspect that the description was meant to distinguish it from the short bus that is usually used to take kids to special schools. And having such a large bus would allow the perp better opportunity to do his deed before the adults could stop him, I suppose.
