GULFPORT, FL - Gulfport police recently released surveillance video from a school bus that shows the bus driver's perspective of a beating earlier this month.
In the video from July 9th, the victim is sitting in the second seat of the Pinellas school bus with his head down. The violence starts as soon as he stands-up to get off the bus.
The bus driver, John Moody can be heard yelling for somebody to try to stop them and calls dispatch for help, "I got a fight. I need help in a hurry, I got a fight I need help in a hurry."
The punches and kicks continue, and the victim falls between the seats. At one point you can hear his screams on the video. The bus driver yells at the attackers, "leave that boy alone," but doesn't try to intervene physically.
Then he again calls dispatch to verify the address. "Get somebody out here quick, quick quick they're about to beat this boy to death. There's nothing I can do...please send somebody," said Moody.
According to Pinellas school bus driver policy the driver's first duty is to call dispatch, and only has to step in if they think it's safe. They're not required to intervene.
Gulfport Police Chief Robert Vincent has publicly questioned the driver's lack of action even after the offending teens had left the bus. "There was time for him to intervene and or check on the welfare of the child in this case. He didn't make any effort to do so and that's what we want to bring to the attention of the prosecutor," said Chief Vincent.
Police investigators turned this video and other evidence to the state attorney's office. Prosecutors will determine whether to charge the driver with child neglect.

Amish?
Need I say it? holder’s people.
Southern Amish...
Ahh yes. If Obama had triplet sons, this is what they would have looked like.
Child neglect? No way would I intervene!! And get the Zimmerman treatment? Put your kid on a government bus with welfare government punks, what do you expect?
nothing in the entire report mentioned or much less discussed the fact the perps need to be charged!!!!!
and was this a “hate crime”???
3 black teens attacking a lone white 6th grader. As expected.
The black kids are being brought up on felony battery charges - watch the end of the video.
Nope. After Zimmerman it’s best to walk away. Wouldn’t want the Trayvonists and Obamabots at my front door.
They’re making it about a bus driver. We need our own Sharpton I think.
“Child neglect?”
How about charging some of the parents of these hoodlums with child neglect?
Your government schools at work
3 blacks beat a white kid . no media attention to that
then they blame the driver ( what if he’s an old person?)
The only favor you can do for this little boy is to send the video to everyone you can think of. Distressing to the point of despair. I’d like to hear about the parents of these little Trayvon angels.
Listen to what the cops are saying!!! - they are considering pressing charges because the bus driver did not sufficiently intervene to stop the attack. But if he intervenes, he potentially becomes another George Zimmerman, is accused of being a racist, or of overreacting against these “unarmed children”, or is treated like those homeowners defending their homes against burglars, who are then subject to prosecution for shooting the intruders. This is absolute madness.
The only thing the bus driver should have done is pull out his cancelled weapon a eliminate three feral Animals!
I am done looking at these losers as Anything other than a blight on society.
But the parents are a “mother” “father” step mamma and gir fren’— and they are saints. They got them haloes from de EBT. Obama haloes.
Lou Pinella is attacking school buses?
