I'll warn you now that this video is very disturbing. It shows a girl being beaten on a Marion County school bus by several students on their way to Liberty Middle School in Ocala. Yes, middle school. What are we teaching our kids today?
I saw this on the news and literally cried. I truly don't know what I would do, as a father, if this happened to my daughter. Why are children acting this way? What is wrong with our society that children do this for a seat on the bus?

this is so disturbing. On the part of those kids AND the bus driver. If I ever thought my kids had bullied someone there would have certainly been hell to pay. Everyone of those kids involved should have to pay dire consequences.
ReplyDeleteI drive teens to high school and I would have pulled the bus over in a remote area and told them that until it got quiet, we weren't going anywhere and for everyone to sit down and shut up.
ReplyDeleteI did this once and said I didn't care if we sat there until 10:00 at night, I didn't have put up with their behavior and didn't have anything else to do. I got a book out and started to read.
Boy, it got quiet real fast.
