Anyway, he does tell us he was smacked. The school system had recently put recorders in the buses so I of course wanted to know what happened. If my son was acting up on the bus I would have apologized to the bus driver. Don't lie to me or talk nasty to my wife though.
I go to the bus garage that next morning. The driver and garage supervisor is walking across the building with a tape in their hands. I asked if I could talk to them. The bus driver told me that my son had indeed been unruly and he has had to ask him many times to sit down but that he had never hit him. That made me mad because I believed he was lying. I explained how I was fine if he had smacked him for being unruly but do not lie to me about it. My son nor the other kid had any reason to lie here. I asked to see the tape. I believe the supervisor then lied to me when he told me that this tape wasn't the one from his bus, that the recorder on his bus wasn't working yesterday. I asked him to show me the tape to verify that. He said I wasn't allowed to see the tape. (I admit that legally I might not have been able to, but I would have shown a parent 1-2 minutes to show them I was telling the truth). I told him I didn't believe him and he would hear from me.
I left there and went to the school board office. There I was told that they have never had a problem with that driver but they would investigate.......days go by and we hear nothing. My wife calls and she gets told to not call back again that they are investigating and they would get back to us. Once again, pissed me off.
Off to the school board meeting. I first talk to the School superintendent who tells me that he would look into it. I'm not satisfied. I got the attention of the lone female board member and told her the story. She gets the super and tells him that he knew that they had passed a resolution that anytime violence is accused they would turn it over to an outside investigation. He reluctantly agreed.
To make this long story shorter I never do hear from the school system but I read in the news that the bus driver was arrested for child molestation. It seems the investigation turned up that he was molesting both of his own kids.

Geeze..............
I know the feeling. A bus driver is another public servant. I have a case with one on going at the moment too and the papers work i was told that would be returned 90 days ago still isn't here.
I used to have a living history dog and pony show by paper contract, and that was so i wouldn't get shot on some school's steps. I made the contract and at first it stated the super had to call the cops and say I would be attending the school and what for on day xxx xx xxxx AND the cops were supoposed to call me back when they had notice.
Well the cops are never going to call you back i found
So I changed the contract to state the super would call me back with which cop he talked to so i could call that one.
This system is all based on who can escape what duty and have no accountablility except to prey upon the We the people for fees, fines and revenue.
With all this getting thrown under the Bus going around a kids getting beach slapped by bus drivers we may have to ban buses and bus drivers eh
I like how city hall thinks it holds all the cards and yet will never show their hand don't you?
In Rochester NY where i made the mistake to paint my wife's mother house years ago, thinking she was a little old lady and how big could her house be anyway ......... it was a Kodak 3 decker
OMG was that place big for one guy and high. not to mention the ft porch needed rebuilt and there were balconies every where too! Ugg.......
One day the school bus stops right there. I hear a war going on in the bus and the driver stopped just because he couldn't drive with a war going on.
I had a estwing framing hammer in my hand as i had been working on that deck and had jacked the ceiling roof up off that deck just then.
The driver let me board the bus and i yelled STF UP and SIT DOWN. The driver asked if i might stay till 'security' came. I did and those guys thought i was the problem.... at first. They didn't like that estwing hammer a bit but neither did the kids. I think that city sucks just like i think ALL cites suck.
As to cops they don't add up either. That Lt Da cop doing time isn't going to like 'any words' I have to say.
I don't use words like he used on any woman, and he is going to wish dearly he didn't on mine.
I kind of like the new Police State.. This is going to be great fun....
Remember you are innocent even after getting arrested until proven guilty. I have been arrested dozens of times but never convicted once.
