Sounds like a criminal offense to me-- There's a term for illegally detaining someone. This a-hole driver had no authority to do this.
I'd get an aggressive prosecutorial criminal lawyer if it were my child this happened to.
I agree. And this is one of those times I wish there was an active group of conservatives who could fight as mean and ugly as the moonbats. If this particular shoe was on the other foot, by now every possible bit of dirt in this bus driver's life, past and present, would be public knowledge. We'd know if she ever left any local, state or federal tax unpaid, if she'd ever worked a trades job without a valid license, if she had unpaid parking tickets, and a second cousin by marriage who had once been accused of child endangerment. This woman would find the media setting up broadcast satellites and a tent city in her front yard, where they'd accost her every time she so much as peeked out her kitchen curtains.
Instead, the only reason a lot of us are even hearing about this story is because a liberal attorney said something insane about it while on the Fox News channel. It sucks.
