WHO CAN YOU COUNT ON TO GIVE YOUR CHILD THAT EXTRA PUSH? THE BUS DRIVER? THE TEACHER? THE AIDE?


 
 
msn news video of School Bus Driver Pushing 8 year old Girl Diagnosed with Autism From School Bus
According to msn news:
A school-bus driver was charged with aggravated child abuse after allegedly pushing a special-needs child off the bus.

The Florida State Attorney's Office released a video Wednesday of a Tampa school-bus driver allegedly pushing an 8-year-old special-needs student off a bus with her foot.

WPTV.com reported bus driver Stephanie Wilkerson, 41, was charged with aggravated child abuse in October.

A video of the incident was taken from inside the bus. The girl fell and broke her ankle, WPTV said.

Tampa Bay Online reported that Wilkerson was driving the bus to Tampa Bay Boulevard Elementary School on the morning of Sept. 28.

According to TBO, when Wilkerson told the autistic girl to wait her turn to get off the bus, the girl supposedly slapped and pushed the driver.

A spokeswoman for the school district told TBO that the driver was removed from her job Oct. 1.http://news.msn.com/us/video-of-driver-allegedly-pushing-child-off-bus-released
 
Should the law require that videotapes of abuse incidents by schools, bus staff, etc., be released to the public?
