The parent of a Norwin School District student has been charged with unlawfully climbing aboard a school bus Jan. 19 threatening a student who allegedly had been involved in an altercation with his child.

Patrick P. Belk, 25, is charged with unauthorized entry of a school bus, harassment and disorderly conduct filed by Irwin Police.

According to the complaint filed before North Huntingdon District Judge Wayne Gongaware by police Chief Roger Pivirotto, a First Student bus driver reported that the incident occurred at 3:35 p.m. Jan. 19 while the bus was dropping off students in Irwin.

Pivirotto reported in an affidavit of probable cause that during a stop, Belk entered the bus, ignoring warnings he was not permitted on board and complained about a female relative being “kicked in the stomach” by one of the students on board during an altercation.

Good grief! When I was a pup, parents routinely got involved like this if the kids couldn't settle it amongst themselves.

It was a lot more effective than the "safe space", assemblies on bullying and all the crap they do today.

Was listening to sports talk where they were discussing that big brawl between players and fans at a Clariton vs. Monessen basketball game.

A guy called claiming to be a high-school coach called and said “anyone who has any involvement these days with high-school sports programs will tell you that the parents are an absolute train wreck.”

well, I kinda think so. I knew a parent or two when I was kid who wanted to get things “straight” with a punk bully of their child.
Don’t think is was uncommon years ago—now today, we all wring our hands, “what can I do”. Sadly—call a lawyer is about all—unless ur the guy reported on here.

I can’t imagine you saying it is ok for an adult to illegally enter a school bus and threaten a seven year old kid.

It’s always the bullied student who gets suspended for fighting.
