Surveillance footage from a Gilbert school bus shows the driver and a 15-year-old student physically confronting one another on February 15th.

If it’s true the doors were locked, she could have prevented the student from getting off of the bus without ever laying a hand on her. The driver was as wrong if not more so than the student. She is the adult in charge and she blew it.
The only mistake the driver made was that she should’ve decked that snotty brat hard enough that she couldn’t get back up.
What’s wrong with all the *boys* on that bus that none of them protected the driver from the little twit?
Well I obviously diagree but you are intitled to your own opinion. The jury will sort it out. I’m more interested ih how kids become like this to begin with.
Absolutely!!!!
So the “boys” are supposed to become physical with a nonviolent 14/15 yo girl?
Apparently according to the 911 tapes, they didn’t see the way you do.
Yep. She probably needed to be slapped silly ,a long time ago.
I saw the video on GMA.
It’s too bad eveyone is being treated as if they had “equal” contribution to the problem.
The problem clearly was the bratty, self-absorbed, violent snot who refused to sit, and who attempted to leave the bus at an unapproved stop (driver was not legally allowed to leave the brat there).
so...bratty snot gets physical - and the driver’s daughter sees this and gets upset. She comes to mom’s defense.
Driver should keep her job and not be punished.
The upset daughter should be given a light slap, and the brat should be banned from riding the bus, as well as go to a superintendent’s hearing for expulsion.
I do believe the girl deserves to be charged with being disorderly, but the driver clearly handled the matter wrong from the onset. Remember, regardless of the girl's temper tantrum, the driver is the adult in charge. She used bad judgement in how she handled the situation.
What are you watching? The one young boy that came forward was obviously attempting to pull the bus driver’s daughter off of the girl. He went straight for the bus driver’s daughter saying “get off”. This driver was NOT in control. At all.
Damn straight. And if you think that little witch was non-violent we didn't watch the same footage.
Boys should be taught to protect women who are being assaulted. With violence if needed.
And yes right up until the last she had the other kids under control. Out of the entire bus, only 2 weren't doing what they were told.
I don’t even know if I would light slap the daughter. When she came up, before she even made contact, her words were, “get off my mother” Nothing most of us wouldn’t do, even for a stranger.

I know...but these days it’s difficult not to do anything to someone who’s been caught on tape getting physical.
This girl was no threat to this driver. The girl says in the video while on the phone with her mom that the driver was accusing her of talking loudly. As the video starts you cannot hear the girl over the louder students. This was a matter that could have been handled with a write up and follow up in the principal's office on the next school morning. There was nothing shown to warrant the driver pulling over to start with. It looks as if there was something that posed an immediate threat to the safety of the other kids prior to this escalating it would also be shown as the tape was rolling then too.
LOL...yeah, right.
That was your little darling on the bus, wasn’t it...
