Bus Driver up for Kidnapping?



Should the bus driver be charged with kidnapping?

I don't know, maybe my parents were just mean when I was growing up. But I know damn well if I was on a bus and misbehaving, and a Bus Driver did something like this, their response would be along the lines of "Good, they should have drove you to the dump and made you walk home from there."

With kiddy cell phones and crap, you've now got these panicky little whine-o's calling their paranoid parents about the lunatic Bus Driver who's holding them hostage. In reality, any youngin' would blow up the truth to sound like a greek tragedy in their favor. But what get's me is the parents are asking the police to prosecute.

However mundane and simple the Bus Drivers job is, they are "still" part of the system that must administer some degree of discipline. Otherwise, children would just run rampant and act like completely abnoxious little shits. And I'm sure many Bus Drivers are already tiptoe on eggshells as it is. But I can't imagine some kid, say, tossin' crap out the window at other cars just getting away with it. You know you did it, too...

Absolutely not. The bus driver is my hero.

Yes, yes...Bus Driver's most likely are people who couldn't get real jobs, but needed some form on income. But, I'm sure they're at least good people (on some level), since they have to pass drug tests and all that jazz to ensure their sanity before they tote our rugrats from here-to-there-and-back-again.

But regardless of their worth, or how hard the job is...they have to load up and play taxi for a bunch of abnoxious kids. Yes, their our kids, and let's face it...we love them, but they're abnoxious little bastards.

Basically, should a Bus Driver just bite their tongue, and endure whatever the kids on the bus throw at them? Or should they use whatever means they can to administer some sense of "Behave yourself, you little shit, or else"? I don't think it's fair to say "Well your a Bus Driver. I mean seriously". It's their job to make sure the kids are safe, and to make sure they're behaving themselves for whatever period of time they're in their custody on the bus.

Yeah, this is fine. There are plenty of kids that do all kinds of things, ranging from hair pulling to GBH, on a schoolbus, and you need some way of stopping them. I guess you could allow bus drivers to beat kids, that'd make this whole thing unneccesary.

Hail to the bus driver, the bus driver man.

And made them all call their parents to come and get them.

People don't want to do the most effective thing because it's usually more work.

I'm not sure we're ready for the RoboAdmin 2010.

Why not? We already have a successful RoboPoster, codenamed Jophiel.

I'm guessing it's more that he left the designated driving route.

My bus driver did this all the time. It's not new. It's a tried and true bus driver tactic.

Once, he just pulled off to the side of the road for 15 minutes and said he wasn't going again until it was completely silent. As a result, I missed my transfer bus to my magnet school and was late. The county had to send a whole empty short bus just for me. I was very late to school. After that my parents started driving me instead, even though it was on the other side of town . . .

We got our bus driver fired in like 7th or 8th grade. ***** deserved it.
