This time it was worse, my husband and I watched the video and I could not believe what I saw. I sat there and watched my son getting jabbed in the side, in the face, shoved against the window and then sucker punched in the face before he was to get off the bus. I sat there and cried as we watched it with the principal. My son recieved 2 days in ISS because they say that HE provoked the boy to hit him. The video clearly shows my son not saying a word to him until after he got hit.The other boy got suspended off of the school bus for the rest of the year... and 3 days of out of school suspension. Whoopee...Well, enough was enough. We went straight to the sherriffs dept. and filed a simple battery charge on the boy. He will be taken to juvenille court at the end of April. The investigator has the video tape. But yet my son recieved ISS, which is a bunch of bull. This child has 6 incidents against him already this year, not only with my child.The school system did not hold the bus driver responsible in any way responsible for this even though she KNEW that the older boy was not suppossed to be sitting with my son anyways. I think it is a shame that we can't even trust our bus drivers to get our children to school safely anymore. As for the bully, he's going to bully the wrong person one day and it will all fall back in his lap. As for your incidenct,,,I know how you feel and my heart goes out to you...hope all goes well to you and remember that you can take legal action against this boy if he is in the 6th grade or above...I found all the information I needed on the internet that I needed for my state. Hope you can do the same. Someone has to stand up to these kids who think that they do no wrong and that they can pick on someone 2 times smaller than they are....take care and let me know what happens....

we have bus monitors for our preschool kids. the monitors range from 16 to 60+. i dont think a 16 yr old should do it but i think they should have to keep a monitor on ALL the buses for this reason. i cannot believe they punished your son.

i remember bullies in school. the shame of it is that most bullies get by with all they do. what are, are teachers doin? can't they see this goin on?

i hope all goes well with him now

how is your son doing since going back to school? been thinking of him and you

We would love to go after the school system but we are first going to try to get this child out of the school. He has had 6 offences already and Georgia LAW states that after 3 offenses that a child is to be placed in another school. Way to many chances for him. No reasoning at all in my book...will let you know what happens in court...parents sure need to be aware of this and thank goodness for videos on school buses.

that's a good law. never heard of it before, but i think it should be instated in every state. i'm glad i saw this thread, i wanted to know how things were going.
