Bus Driver Chokes Mentally Challenged Kid

Posted by Bossip Staff

The bus driver is supposed to have someone accompany the mentally challenged boy on the bus, and after he starts throwing cans and cursing at her, she understands why. Peep how the ridiculousness subsides after she wrings his neck.

Question of The Day: is she wrong for getting physical with the mentally challenged boy?

    Oh the JOY to hold the top three slots. Now I can feel like I have truly done something important in dis life. AHHH YESSSSSS!!!

  5. Lacombe Redbone (You So Krazy!!)

    Oh My GOOdness! Nah, she is dead wrong fa dat!!

  6. Lyn

    She is wrong, even if it was a ‘normal’ kid.

  7. KILO

    He did stop throwin shit tho, guess gettin choked up brought him back from mentally challengeddom if only for a moment.


  8. She should’ve just turned the bus, back around and took him back to school..I can’t recall how many times I’ve had bus drivers do that when I was a kid..or she should’ve contacted the necessary people to let them know that she was not going to subject herself..

  9. NIKKI UNDERWOOD

    That is the reason that I don’t have children…

    …I think that I may be a choker as well… :( hate my honesty if you must

  10. NIKKI UNDERWOOD

    OH…if it WAS my child I would have detonated that chick…ole girl on there…just lookin’ baffled…

  11. G MONEY

    I don’t think she was wrong.

  12. Aunt Viv passin' thru 'cuz Bossip is treading on thin ice

    I think was ol’ girl was wrong. I know it’s hard to maintain composure when you’re being taunted like that but I think she should not have choked him.

    Signing off…

  13. Baby girl

    I dont see nothing wrong with it…Shit he was out of order she was just correcting him…This looks like a normal situation a child gets out of hand and you reprimand them…minus the choking lol!!!…Just cause he is mental its a big issue.

  14. Fullthrottle

    It’s not funny but that mother knows damn well she does the same thing at home lol. It’s hard taking care of someone’s kids. He was by himself so I would have let him act out as long as he didn’t effect my driving.

  15. Jane

    Nope. He looks like a nut. Hope she can keep her job

  16. Elegance1981

    Damn she made a mistake. I guess if he punched her in the damn face would she be wrong not to respond. I see his ass got quiet when she came back there. He need a Southern Azz whippin. Accidents happen when the driver is distracted. There should have been somebody on the bus. To the lady that lost her job keep ya head up boo!

  17. Lady elle

    (ALTHOUGH I UNDERSTAND)SHE WAS WRONG BUT SHE SHOULD HAVE NEVER LEFT THE SCHOOL WITH HIM WITHOUT A MONITOR.

    SHE IS EQUIPPED TO DRIVE A BUS, SHE IS NOT EQUIPPED TO DEAL WITH A AGRESSIVE MENTALLY DISTRUBED CHILD.

  18. noone atall

    if you don’t want your kids gettin’ smacked/choked up they need to know how to behave - the people taking care of your kids (teachers, busdrivers, babysitter, daycare, etc.) don’t make enough to be expected to put up with bad behavior.

  19. QueDST

    That is out of line to choke a child - PERIOD!! There was a better way to handle this. Regular Ed or Special Ed - it doesn’t matter. No adult should be choking a child.

  20. b-nice

    As a person who has worked with Mentally disabled adults and children this bus driver regardless if the child threw a shoe or hit her with a brick she should not have put her hands on that child.

    Bus drivers need to be trained in behavioral crisis intervention in regards to handling all children not only children who are disabled. If this were my child I would be so upset, frantic, that this woman without any sort of sensitivity training would place her hands around my sons neck, slamming his head against the window. Then has the nerve to say, “have a nice day” as he was leaving the bus.

    Shame on this bus driver and shame on the state of Texas and any state that allows a disabled child to be harmed and not immediately inform the mother. The child was just confused, scared, alone, the fear build up to the point the child became aggressive, she could have pulled over the bus called authorties to get the child some help.

    I can’t even write anymore I feels so sad for this child, by what this video has shown.

  21. jen

    This is ridiculous. He is handicapped, this means he has no idea what is to be considered right and wrong. Are you people stupid? Some of you claim that their parents should raise them, but the mother is obviously attempting to educate him and hopefully get him help. This woman needs to be fired. Nobody should choke a child, that just shows them it is right to do that when they are older.

  22. ImDaMan

    She was not wrong…He throwing cans, cursing, yelling, hanging out the window,she had to do something…she tried to scare him straight..I bet he got his mind right after that..that was not abuse to me..i bet it didn’t hurt..but it made him realize she not the one to mess with..again she not a trained specialist for agressive mentally retarded kids..she did the best she knew how in that situation..there was no protocol on what she should have done…BUSSY YOU COOL WITH ME

  23. WOW

    Have these people gone mad. A “monitor” on the bus?. With the extent of his “illness” what “school” is this kid attending if he behaves like that “on the bus”?.

    Could you imagine having to deal with him in a classroom?.

    There’s a whole lot more shit to throw.

    Pencils, books, erasers, chalk, desk, chairs, other kids, lol.

    It must be like one of those old school “WWF Cage Matches” in his classroom, LMAO !.

  24. cliff

    all though i want to say that this lady is a complete douche for choking out the kid. i can’t. it has to be a pretty damn stressful job to drive mentally challenged kids and then to have one throw a can at you after the city failed to have a monitor on the bus has to drive a person nuts. shes still wrong for doing it but i can’t blame her at all.

  25. try me

    I agree with lady ellea dn noone atall. I have dealt with asperger children and let me tell you it has not been a picnic in the park. These kids can be difficult and sweet when they want to and they have the oddest and most unpredictable mannerism. I feel, though the diver could have handled the situation in a different way, she it not trained to handle children with special needs and that is why there are monitors for situations like this one. I feel all she should have gotten was a reprimand and trained in the ways one should handle a situation like that when it does arise and perhaps told to go to the parents and apologise about the incident. nobody is perfect and I am sure that there are parents out there who have done worse than this little outburst.

  26. WOW

    Seriously though, the bus driver should never have been put in that situation. Knowing his capacity for that type of behavior and the fact that the monitor could not be present he should have been placed in restraints. Not only for the drivers saftey but his own.

  27. ImDaMan

    I agree 159% with try me…She couldn’t have said it better…

  28. try me

    blame it ALL on the system i tell ya. the child and the bus driver were both acting out their roles and non are too blame.

  29. B

    Seriously, what was ole girl supposed to do!? He her with a can! I don’t know if he was mentally challenged. He might be a little slow…but we are giving excuses. He was “smart” enough to curse and be violent…he was also “smart” enough to sit dat A down when he got choked out!! LOLOL!!!

  30. Chanel Shades

    I’m sorry but that lady needs sit at home and be paid by welfair. You can not go around choking mentally ill children on camera and admit you did it. Anither thing the mother need to sit on the bus and moniter him. He would not be throwing cans if she did her job. Sad

  31. CAT EYES

    This woman should be fired IMMEDIATELY!No one has a right to choke or otherwise put their hands on anyone!When she took the job,she knew the risks involved in dealing with unruly children,mentally ill or not.If it was one of my children,she would still be trying to get my foot out of her ass!She could have just drove back to the school and told them the situation and they will have someone else deal with the child or have the mother come to pick him up.

  32. nik

    i have a brother who is mentally disabled, he isn’t violent like the boy but if he was by chance i would kill whoever put their hands on him like that or in any way. i am also a teacher of the disabled and i would NEVER dare put my hands on a child like that or in any way. when we send childern with disablities to school we are entrusting those who accept the job to work with them. there should be no warnings with this woman and anyone does that. she should find another profesion.

  33. B Nice

    He’s not too damn slow….throwing cans…..he sat is ass still after that….I don’t see the big deal….she didn’t hurt him

  34. B

    Seriously, what was ole girl supposed to do!? He hit her with a can! I don’t know if he was mentally challenged. He might be a little slow…but we are giving excuses. He was “smart” enough to curse and be violent…he was also “smart” enough to sit dat A down when he got choked out!! LOLOL!!!

  35. Niasia

    She should not have done that at all. She should have pulled over and left his ass on the bus alone until somebody from the school or his momma can come and get him from the side of the road. I would have gotten off the bus and locked him in it until further notice!

  36. ImDaMan

    leave BUSSY alone..how was she gone turn around and drive back to the school with the kid throwing sh!t at her and jumping round hanging out the window./I’m sure this incident was not in her job description…they should have locked that kid down if no monitor was there..noone goes to work to be abused..i’m sure that can hurt more than her puting her hand around his neck…that boy had plenty of sense to act right when she was done… he retarded but he know rap songs…and how to taunt someone…his mom done snapped on him before..she a lie if she say she didn’t…imagine 24hrs at home with him like that i’m sure she done did worse…Quit trashing tthat lady..

  37. try me

    beeing a teacher around mentaly challenged children requires skills and traning. do not ever compare your training with that of a bus driver who is stressed and underpaid and overworked with situations she has no clue how to handle.what the hell are polititians there for? they should look into this things and find ways to improve them.

  38. Monica

    I think she should have turned around and took him back to the school and explain that is behavior was out of control and she couldn’t go on driving with him and let someone in his family come get him. I know she was frustrated, because he was acting extremely bad, but no matter what you not suppose to put your hands on them. She had to know she was on camera.

  39. dapro

    Nik I luv u and the whole 9 ma but you work 4 Bossip ma lol

    Either that or you need your own sh*&

  40. ImDaMan

    she warned him he kept at it..that kid knew what he was doing and NOBODY can tell me different..I bet in her head she was like..”I know this muth@rfuck@r did not just fu@k up my doobie”..i’m kidding…her head probably hit the wheel when he threw that can at her…again..i’m kidding…but seriously…lil daddy was wrong for that

  41. NIKKI UNDERWOOD

    dapro

    True story…

  42. ImDaMan

    Nikki u work for bossip?

  43. Royal Chocolate

    Mighty funny his ass calmed down after she choked him. As mentally challenged as he is, he understood that “sit down and shut up” means “sit the hell down and be the hell quiet”. You see how calm he was when he got off the bus?

  44. lisalisa

    still straddling the fence on this one….

  45. Pryncess

    I honestly don’t think she meant any harm. You can tell the way that she asks him, “what’s wrong?” at the beginning, and the way she says “see you tomorrow” at the end, that she was sincere. She talks to him as if she would her children. I just think her nerves were shook when he threw something at her, and she lost the patience that she had had with him. Now she was wrong for choking him, but I really do not think she meant any harm. But she’s an adult, and has to face the consequences of her actions.

  46. Tammy

    You can warn these kid, threaten them and it is not going to make a world of difference. These kids have a disability which is at times behavior that they can’t control. Now for those that said that she should not have been punished if it was your child she choked and slammmed their head into a window you mean to tell me that you wouldn’t be upset.

    Now being a bus driver and having a child with behavioral issues I know first hand that there should have been a monitor on the bus before the child got on. My son gets door to door service with a monitor and if there is not a monitor the bus by law does not transport my son to school or from school. They wiil not pick him up until a monitor is available. The school should have also been held responsible along with the bus driver for putting the little boy on the bus.

    If you do not have a family member with behavioral issues then you do not understand and please not make a comment about a situation you could not possibly understand.

  47. RicoSmithicals

    With special needs kids as long as the child is not doing anything to jeopardize the life of anyone including themselves also if the driver os not properly trained for the childs behaviors she cannot restrain or detain. Now the choking was a little excessive but physically restraining is okay as long as it doesnt physically come across as abuse.

  48. Doagae

    Violence and cursing is learned, not apart of mental retardation….the only person who failed this boy is is mother for allowing him to act like that and make excuses for him….

  49. rudeashell.com

    HELL NO SHE WASN’T WRONG; YOKE THAT ASS UP!! A lot of times people say, oh he’s special needs, blase’, blase’. I can understand that part; but his disability doesn’t mean he doesn’t know what he was doing. He had sense enough to put together and recite a rap song. This kid unbuckled his seat belt, and when she tore in to his ass, he got right. He knew right from wrong before he got on that bus. What I think was wrong was: 1) they set her up sending her to drive him without the aid of a monitor to help her during the ride (lack thereof clearly put both of their lives in danger) and 2) they were wrong for not letting his mother know what happened after the fact. The bus driver is a human adult and took a lot from him, but throwing that can at her? Oh man it was on. I don’t think she was wrong at all. She was human.

  50. MiMi

    She wouldn’t have done that to a General Ed. kid. They would have whoop her ass.

  51. Tammy

    One of those lazy ass teachers should have rode with the boy. They know how to deal with him better then the bus driver. No they too busy trying to get there asses home. When your children go to school don’t always think they are getting the right services.

  52. WordtotheWise

    She was dead wrong. You never put your hands on someone else’s child, period. Maybe she should’ve called dispatched and asked them how to handle out of control children. Lord, I hope she doesn’t have children of her own.

  53. TIQ

    I would have fucked his ass up to.

  54. Karen

    Parents kill me acting all dismayed to see a bus driver choke the hewl outta their kid knowing damn well they birthed them and still can’t control them.

    That child didn’t just throw a heavy object at her, he was moving from seat to seat, screaming, in short being a distraction that could have caused a SERIOUS accident.

    A child with such serious behaviorally issues shouldn’t be allowed interaction with the “normal” kids anyway. I wouldn’t want my child to be on a bus with such a lunatic.

    That happened NINE MONTHS before, with no other complaints against that driver, I don’t think she should have lost her job. Those were extenuating circumstances that warranted a good choke down.

  55. Karen

    @TAMMY, what do you suppose teachers should try to do at the end of the day besides go home?

    Maybe his lazy azz mama should drive him home everyday-knowing damn well he’s a traffic accident waiting to happen!

  56. WordtotheWise

    Apparently she wasn’t prepared to handle such a child. I guess hindsight is 20/20, but I still don’t believe you put your hands on someone else’s child. Period. Isn’t this why they have radios on the bus? I know she snapped. Lord knows I see people do that on their own children.

  57. Candylicker

    She shouldn’t have took the kid without a monitor, I don’t think she should be punished.

  58. Super_fly_honey

    Sorry yall but I would’ve done the same thing! Them mentally challenged kids can get on your last nerves. Yall don’t know what that lady had to go through with him. Obviously she dealt with that ish everyday and got fed up. You really can’t blame anybody. Like when you was little and you made yo mama so mad that she just straight snapped on yo ass. That don’t mean she abusive but she just snapped. I probably would’ve slapped ole boy if that was me.

  59. matt

    yo… i have a delayed child and if that was my kid, i’d beat the breaks off that bitch. i’da choked her till her eyes popped out. did you see how his head hit the window? i normally don’t but i had to comment on this one.

  60. Eric

    Choke the SHIT outta Him… Saw his ass Got real REAL quiet afterwards….

    seriously challenged kids respond well to challenging Discipline

  61. Its the Foosa

    she is wrong! You cant just go around choking out mentally handicapped kids.

  62. 1TruDiva w/The PlatinumVocals thinks the dog whisperer is hot!!!!

    Choked him?????

    Shit—Why she wait so long???

    That lil mufukka could’ve caused her to have an accident!!

    Lil Bastid!!!

    And why are we so quick to label children nowadays? If the sumummabitch is bad–he’s just bad!!!

    Peple kill me!!! Labeling “some” of these kids as ADD, ADHD, ABC when they know good cotdam well these kids are just B.A.D!!!

    But I’ve learned something a long time ago–I don’t know if this applies here but you KNOW that sometimes when a child is “labeled” there is usually extra “benefits” for the parent(s).

    I’m just saying.

  63. 1TruDiva w/The PlatinumVocals thinks the dog whisperer is hot!!!!

    I ALREADY KNOW I’ma be that one ol’ lady in the neighborhood none of the kids like!!

    I’ma be sittin’ on my porch and when they walk by and speak, I’ma say some shit like–

    “Don’tbespeakin’tomeyalilmufukka. Yabettastopskippin’schoolandstopsmokin’allthemreefersIbeseein’yasmokeandhangin’outwiththemlilfast-assedgals!!”

    LOL!!!

    They gone look back and say “I hate her. She get me sick”.

    Then, I’ma blast a shot in the air and watch them run!!!

    Lil Mufukkas!!!

    ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  64. Anonymous3 - the fire sign

    you can’t tell me that this boy’s mother never saw her son react that way before…why wasn’t the bus driver warned and given a chance to accept him on the bus or not….however she didn’t have to jack him up like that….that boy had one time to hum a can at me and I would politely turn the bus around and take him back where I picked him up and would have his parents or the school officials contacted

  65. MGM

    That boy wasn’t that damn mental, his sorry ass parents ain’t checking his ass. That boy knew how to stop when she rolled him up.He kept acting crazy because he knew he could. Children need to be corrected and those parents obviously were not whipping that ass. Yes, It was wrong for her to touch him,but when he started personally attacking her by throwing things- that’s self defense to me.

  66. Apo6

    Hell i feel all kids need a good yoking up, and if you are a 70’s baby you got that shit in the reg. A special needs kid understood to sit the fuck down and shut up, he was calm then a mutha after he got yoked up. He wasnt taht damn retarded to curse, throw shit, or give people the finger while rifding the bus. His lil ass deserved a yoking.

  67. Tammy

    @ Karen

    If these lunatic ass kids get on your nerves then find another profession. Watch what you say about children with disabilities because you may have one of your own. The bus driver does not have patients and she is probably abusive to her own children.

    It not the mothers job to transport her child to and from school that what the bus companies are getting paid for. Now if the bus campany can’t run it’s business the right way then maybe they should shut dowm.

    That is like me riding with one of my friends and she picks up three children that belong to one of her other friends and one hit me from the back seat and I get to choking him and slam his head in the car window. You don’t think his mama gonna be mad?

    This is not a job for everyone. If you can’t handle it find another job. Don’t be beaten on someone eleses child because she can’t control her funky ass behavior.

    Like I said the bus driver is wrong and so is the school department. They failed that childs parent.

  68. Tammy

    Let some woman choke one of you guys children and I bet it be a whole totally different story. You will defend your child to then end. If you didn’t defend your child then something is wrong with you and not your child.

  69. SpearChucker

    she didn’t do SHIT! all she did was grab him by the collar and scare the bejesus into him…which seemed to work

    bus driving’s harder on your head than on your feet, cut her some slack jack

  70. SpearChucker

    SMDH’s mom didn’t check her when she was young…now look how she acts

    if some little dipshit was throwing cans at my head while I was trying to drive I would have done the same damn thing

  71. karen

    What type of disability is it that causes one to throw a can at someone telling one to sit down? A damn dog understands sit!! The driver was assaulted by the damn student. She should have ran that damn bus into something and claimed disability. He learned that damned behavior somewhere, probably at his house. You see he wasn’t in the clip, grabbing the mic and hitting the reporter. The reporter doesn’t care about them damn kids, just sensationalizing some bullshit for the mother and her attorney. One million dollars for video cameras? Invest it in the regular education classroom where a difference might be made in the world.

  72. sepia830

    Hmph…Chokers of America unite. And why wasn’t the little badass on his medication? People with special needs kids need to understand that other people do not necessarily have the empathy or the patience to deal with them.

    And no the bus driver didn’t tell him she would see him tomorrow when he got off the bus. lmmfao


  73. I more than likely would’ve just took him back to the school and notified my superiors that the kid was acting erratic and throwing things that could’ve resulted in an injury or even caused me to have an accident. Other than that….I would’nt have put my hands on him…..PERIOD. There’s a lot of short fused people out here with jobs that require more patience than they’ve committed themselves to give.

    She could’ve led him back to his seat and restrained him in a seat belt….oh, wait a minute…are there seatbelts on school buses these days ??? I remember that being an issue as well.

  74. Tammy

    Listening to half of these comments make me want to pass a law to have cameras in every facility that my children may go to when I’m not present. I wouldn’t want no one that agrees what the bus driver did was right no where around my children. Some of you guys sound like some very sick individuals. I don’t want grown ass sick people around my children.

  75. karen2

    If either of my kids is acting like a park ape on a schoolbus- and hit the driver with a soda can, probably the same driver day in and out for a year and my child gets choked: I bet you my kids sit they ass down next time and don’t throw shit no more. Is “sorry I hit you while you WERE DRIVING” good enough? I wish my son/daughter would come home crying “mommy/daddy I got choked by the bus driver” He/She did what? Get the piece and tell me xactly what happened. Well I was out of my seat, opening the window and screaming out of it and I hit her in the back of her head with a can. Go get my belt, you want to act crazy, lash, lash and write your apology out now!!!

  76. me

    Umm, I was brought up in a school that allowed physical punishment…and I have been jacked by my momma plenty when I got out of line. My gauge was when he calmed the hell down AFTER she grabbed him, which indicates that he knew that what he was doing was inappropriate. Maybe if his momma had choked him out a few times at home he wouldn’t be cutting the fool on the bus!

  77. Nikki

    He yelled and screamed…she told him she was coming back there

    He yelled and screamed some more…she warned his bad ass again

    He threw that can…she choked his ass

    He had ample warning.

    they suspended her then gave her her job back and hnow that the news is talking about it, they fired her again. Yes she should have had a monitor but who’s to say they both wouldn’t have choked him?

    Bernie would say a kid can get chopped in the throat…

  78. karen2

    Tammy love, raise and discipline your children and you won’t have too much to fear. In my generation we didn’t have all of the foolish that’s going on today. We were loved, raised and disciplined, not defended for every WRONG thing we did.

  79. karen2

    In my generation we didn’t have all of the “foolishness” that’s going on today.

  80. ~*MahoganyGyrl (sorry Im from Brooklyn)*~

    ~*Man I don’t care what that child did he did not deserve to be choked PERIOD. And That ho ass bitch is lucky that shes still able to walk around and live to see another day. Cause All hell would have broke loose after word got back to me. And she had the nerve to brag about what she did. OH HELL NAW. Somebody need to choke her dumb butt. I don’t know what is wrong with the world today that Folks think they can fukk with other people children. I tell you what I would be on somebodys death row had it been my own child.*~

  81. 1TruDiva w/The PlatinumVocals thinks the dog whisperer is hot!!!!

    If we raised our children to respect adults then this wouldn’t be opened for discussion.

    If parents took more responsibility for their children and disciplined them instead of leaving the disciplining up to the teachers then teachers would be able to concentrate on teaching.

    IF THE LIL MUFUKKAS SIT THE HELL DOWN ON THE BUS AND ACT LIKE THEY GOT SOME UPBRINGING THEN THE BUS DRIVER WOULDN’T HAVE TO YOKE ‘EM UP!!!!!!!!!

    If he wass “medicated” why wasn’t he strapped in???

    lOL!!!!!!!!

  82. Bringthanoize

    Child shouldn’t have been choked but the usual bus monitor was absent that day which help’d to escalate the situation when the kid threw the soda(?) can at the driver.

    She overreacted and the parents should have been notified but a written reprimand on the bus driver seems in order in this case. It was an unfortunate incident but the poicies should be made known in this situation to all drivers to hopefully avoid any other similar incidents.

    Some kids need to be home schooled in my mind.

  83. Bringthanoize

    policies.

    corrected.lol

  84. LilRose

    The boy was not hurt in this situation and the driver had to do something to make him settle down. Maybe choking him was not the best solution but I don’t think she should lose her job over this. She is a bus driver, not a psychiatrist. Maybe that is how she handles her own kids when they get out hand. Personally, I don’t care if your blind, deaf, disabled or “crazy” I am going to defend myself against ANYONE that is attacking me, period. Sorry but that is my honest opinion.

  85. trea

    i think she should have handled it a different way.

  86. Latrell Sprewell

    I would of done it. lol

  87. Obama-yes-we-can

    As a person who works in direct care with mentally ill people, I can understand where that bus driver was coming from. Who knows what other challenges she faced earlier that day. The school should have notified the parents when a monitor was not available to transport the child. Some families can’t even control their child but they expect a stranger to be able to do it. I feel bad for the bus driver but she wasn’t right to do violence on the child no matter how aggravated she had gotten so that is where the monitor was necessary to deflect the behavior of the student. It’s hard to try to drive and be distracted by someone throwing things at you.

    Notice how the school made her the fall guy when they were the ones at fault to begin with.

  88. Pynk

    uh oh Nikki they gave you a shout out!!!

  89. memchee

    uuuh, lil dude ain’t so mentally challenged if he takes direction after being joked.

    Someone at home needs to adminster/instill some sort of discipline.

    After veiwing this, it is obvious (ole girl is in the wrong), that lil dude comprehends what he can and can not get away with.

    Therefore, someone needs to raise the parenting from mentally challenged to mildly challenged.

  90. Tammy

    @ Karen 2

    The child was disabilied. Unless you worked with a child like this then you don’t know. And if you have worked or working with children like this leave your job immediately.

    It don’t have nothing to do with parenting. Most of these kids get love and care at home it’s just the way there brains are mapped out. You need to go to the library and do so some research before you make a comment. There are retraints to use on children and it’s not choking and slamming heads into windows. It’s not that he was doing something wrong it is an illness that he can’t control. I don’t care how much loving and schooling he gets this is an illness he will carry with him for the rest of his life.

    Please don’t ever work with children period. And I hope to god you don’t have any.

    All the people that believe the bus driver was right go to the library do some research about children with disabilities because you are really clueless.

  92. keekee

    don’t worry, most of the bad asss retarded know EXACTLY what’s up .. good for her - you do see how he stopped though, haha

  93. Peach

    Of course she was wrong. That is not even a question. You dont put your hands on other people children, mentally challenged or not. For all those people that have children and care about them, knows what it feels like if you see or hear that someone did that to your child. SHE WAS WRONG. SHE NEEDS HER NECK CHOKED!

    SHE DID RIGHT AND I AGREE WITH BABY GIRL

  95. Celia

    that boy does not belong in school, he belongs in an institution. And Mom knows that, why the hell is he going anywhere without professional assistance. Damn the school system does not have the proper funds to give that child what he needs. Mom needs to swallow her pride and put him in a home where he is constantly around professionals. If he is this dangerous as a child imagine him as an adult. I’m not calling that baby a demon or a retard or any of that ignorant shit but he needs to be under constant professional supervision. That chick did what anyone else would do if a kid threw a damn can at their head. She didn’t beat the shit out of him like some people would have. I don’t think she should have lost her job she isn’t trained to handle violent and challenged children. That child needed restraints, to hold him down until he got home.

  96. kigali (Female Condoms cost $2.50 and are Reuseable!!) No Excuses!!

    Well the truth of the matter is is that the child is mentally disabled and as a result is given more leeway. Most of these comments here supporting this bus driver are just trying to justify typical black female rage at every and anything. A black female can strike out, hit, beat, cuss out, anyone she wants to because as a strong independent black woman she can scream racism, European standards of beauty, or male abandonement.

    Every one of us has dealt with an impatience, hostile, and volatile black female. They are among the most dangerous in society. They are the ones who are raising a next generation of male sociopaths. Black females generally dont have patience for anyone whether its cussing out or beating their own children or someone elses. But hey we can always crticize Beyonce.

    And these same black females wonder why they are passed over for jobs over the hispanic, white or Asian woman. Who the hell wants to deal with that shit?

    No Excuses for Black Female Rage.

    But I guess, had this little boy been her boyfriend, not only would she have bailed him out of jail but would have had a child with him after such abuse. Who can understand the sociopathology of the black female?

  97. D@ Pop3

    I DONT THINK SHE WAS WRONG..BUT IT COULD HAVE BEEN HANDLED BETTER..SHE DID GET HIM 2 ACT RIGHT..MAYBE THATS WHAT HE NEEDS A HOME..A LITTLE CHOKING HERE AND THERE..BUT I ALSO THINK ANYONE THAT WILL BRING HARM 2 ANYONE FOR NO REASON SHOULDNT BE ABLE 2 LEAVE THEIR HOUSE OR SHOULD BE PUT IN A CRAZY HOUSE..

  98. Nikki

    I have children, and if…I say if cuz they know I’d choke the shit out of em if they did it…they threw a can at a busdriver, I would want her to pull that bus over and snatch that ass up. Keep it 100. Bet that ass think twice b4 throwin another can

  99. kigali (Female Condoms cost $2.50 and are Reuseable!!) No Excuses!!

    Now before you dumb ass females talk about the effectiveness of choking, realize that the LAPD is no longer able to use the choke hold manuever to subdue a suspect because a choke hold kills people. When you choke someone, you arent restaining them, you are depriving them of oxygen and anyone who is undergoing breathing obstruction is going to be docile because you are slowly killing them.

    So yeah keep saying how effective this shit is. Keep supporting abuse and then wonder why your children grow up fucked up and angry. Bare in mind a child is more likely to be abused by a single parent and since black females love to be single mothers I wonder how many innocent children are being abused by you bitches.

  100. Flawdagurl

    She wasnt wrong… but had it been my child I would’ve had to tear homegirl a new asshole!

  101. Jojo69

    First of all you know this woman is not paid very much so therefore she probably only has a high school diploma with that being said she like what a lot of people are saying was not trained to handle a situation like that. She should have been reprimanded like some people have said and then made to go through training. Here in Houston some schools have monitors for the specially challenged. My aunt is a special ed teacher and she has had to ride on the bus every now and then.

  102. TR

    After she chokes the kid, choke the mom. Ill is ill but even mentally challenged people know when wrong is wrong and they’re wrong. Kudo’s to the driver.

  103. kigali (Female Condoms cost $2.50 and are Reuseable!!) No Excuses!!

    @Tammy,

    Thank you for your very educated post. Its one of the few that are actually shedding light on the situation. Its interesting that so many of these black females are supporting this kind of behavior when record numbers of their sons are being deemed mentally ill and put in special education. Maybe we should all sit and enjoy someone choking thier out of control children.

    I’ve dealt with children with server mental illeneses and you dam right its hard but it is only for the educated and sympathetic. Those two qaulities exclude the vast majority of black females who are under educated and vindictive.

    Am I wrong to suggest that there should be jobs that black females arent allowed to have? Basically any job where she has to deal with other human beings? Maybe she can should do data entry or clean toilets. The larger public would be a lot safer.

  104. A moment in the dark....

    The fact that if she is wrong should not even be a fucking questions!! Stupid ass shit like this is why jobs should keep uneducated people unemployed!! Well educated and trained folks could have redirected the situation without physical harm.

    But you know what, this behavior and mentally is common in the black community! “oh bit his little ass and he will act right” or “you better chill out before I whoop ya ass”

    What does that prove to your child??

    Bossip writers of this article is a example of what I just state above by saying:

    “Peep how the ridiculousness subsides after she wrings his neck.”

    This is why we have black children growing up hating themselves and committing crimes! Because they are taught at a young age to “whoop” someone’s ass!

    Sad! Obama cant fix you hood ass people, im sorry!

  105. A moment in the dark....

    and I did mean Mentality

  106. kigali (Female Condoms cost $2.50 and are Reuseable!!) No Excuses!!

    @tTruDiva,

    That little girl in your gravatar is very cute. Can I choke her if she throws something at me?


  107. What a sickening woman. What kind of normal person would choke a mentally challenged kid? She should be sitting in the back with him, she seems just as mental as the kid. She should NOT be working in an environment with kids. How sad is it that these kinds of things go un reported. Sick, sick people. If I was the mother of that kid I would sue the shit out of the school district.

    She was wrong…but she was at her wits end…no excuse though.

    That being said…it worked.

  112. ShavonDenise

    aaah yea!! WTF do you think Bossip?? And why was that a question? Did they even think to ask that question in the video?

  113. justvisitin

    @ A moment in the dark…

    The damnedest thing about Bossip is that it is designed to write in a manner that engages people. And judging from the differering opinions in the post, I’d say the writer did their job quite effectively.

    Now, it is never wrong to choke the shit out of a retard when they are acting the fuck up on a bus…lol and kidding. It wasn’t right and she is extra dumb for not knowing there was a camera on the bus. I’m contradicting the shit out of myself, but that little retard had it coming and you can tell the mom doesn’t do shit. He sits there smearing his spaghetti-o’s all over the furniture and eating his poop at home. His siblings probably can’t stand the way he uses “retard strength” to forcefully remove their snacks from their grasps. SMH and appalled at myself for that rant

  114. Tammy

    I don’t know what they pay bus drivers in Texas but in Boston the starting pay for bus driver is $24.00 dollars an hour and monitors are $18.00 hr. But regardless of how much you get paid you do not abuse a child. If I was the mom I would just let the law suit speak for me. Let’s see if the child or the bus driver would win. I bet the child would.

  115. Tammy

    @justvisitin

    I hope you don’t ever work with children let alone have any. There is a way to restrain children and it’s not by choking and slamming there heads into windows.

    You may have a child like this or even worse one day so watch what you say. Karma’s a bitch.

  116. justvisitin

    @ Tammy

    Tammy, quit it, why don’t you? You should be lucky. Remember that abortion, the first one, you had when you were 19 while you were attending community college? Yeah, that fucker was gonna be mentally challenged. So I went off on a little bit of a rant; kill me. I didn’t say you shouldn’t have sex or get pregnant or have a baby just because you killed the first two you had in your womb. Geez. You’d think the kid was yours or something. Don’t go getting all self-righteous and judgmental on me. You’ve a thought or two that can be scrutinized as well.

  117. Soul Cry

    I do agree that we have youth today that are out of control. But this child is mentally challenged. I agree with those that say she should have either stopped the bus and call for help, or return to her pick up point.

    There is no excuse for a stranger feeling they have the rights to manhandle your child.

    Comments have been made in regards to corporal punishment…let me tell you this I was raised in a home where a spanking was your punishment, and it made me a better person. Perhaps because we had a strong unit with a hard working and strong Jamaican mother. She demanded structure and boy did she get it. All of us graduated with honors from HS and are college graduates. Never a call from a cop or a call home from a teacher. We knew that when we stepped out of the house we were representing HER not ourselves. You respect adults and knew how to conduct yourself in social settings. ‘Til this day, I walk with her teaching. The key is making sure you encourage, embrace, and show your child love. My mother may have punished us, but always made it known that we were her greatest achievements.

    …lol…I don’t even curse in front of my mother…partly because I’m still scared of her…lol

    She is my best friend, and I thank her every day for her guidance, sacrifice…and yes, discipline.

    Yet, I do understand A moment in the dark…. is coming from…during my stint in the Cali I saw a whole different form of child rearing with mother’s telling their children that weren’t shit and would never be shit. Beating the tar out of them strictly due to their own lack of patience…so in that retrospect, I agree.

  118. A moment in the dark....

    @ justvisitin

    I get your well illustrated sarcasm and there is truth behind EVERY joke! I don’t pity you at all! In fact, It just further proves that you are a product of your environment and culture! Do think, feel and put out what you know and have learned.

    Your right, Bossip writers did their job on engaging their readers on this topic; however, there are many techniques in which a writer can solicit their reader without revealing just how bias and dumb they are on a particular subject matter!

    But this is a black blog site so you can’t set the standards too high! The writers are not scholars and I’m not reading anything of any real substance, so no hard feelings!

    Leave this type of article/ video and commentary for the educated blogs Bossip!

  119. Lils

    that’s probably what all the “mentally challenged” kids need an a** whupping and a headlock. And yes I’m a mother who will yoke her kids up with the quickness…that’s what my momma did…

  120. darealwifey

    The driver was dead wrong, and the parents SHOULD be outraged, and the driver should be fired (if not prosecuted). If she knew the child had mental problems and he got out-of-control, then she should have pulled over and called for help. You can’t lose it on a kid like that.

    Now…that’s my official answer and I’m sticking to it, but I have to admit, he *DID* seem to calm down after she choked him. (I’m so ashamed because I’m cracking up right now).

  121. Lils

    Since the mid to late 80’s the white doctors have been diagnosing children with add or adhd or now its autism. When I was in junior high school back in the early 80’s - the nun’s were allowed to spank us with rulers. In the 70’s the teachers spanked you in class if you didn’t behave. We were some well disciplined kids. Hell, all my mother had to do was give me a look. I didn’t get beat that often because I was afraid of her. The kids nowadays or lazy, disrespectful little ingrates. And I won’t think TWICE about laying my foot in one of their asses. Has anybody noticed how many kids are given the diagnoses of being “mentally challenged”. While there a legitimate cases, most parents just want their children medicated with something so they don’t have to deal with them. G-d bless the generations coming up behind us. Because they’ll be some seriously f–ed up individuals.

  122. vegasgal

    @WOW: I just choked on my drink I was laughing so hard at your comment. You are going straight to hell in a handbasket for that one LMFAO.

    On a serious note the school should not have expected the bus driver to be able to contain that kid, she doesn’t have the training for it. I don’t think she should be fired, but the child shouldn’t be allowed on the bus without a monitor. If no monitor is available then his parents need to go to the school and get him even if they have to leave work.

  123. WordtotheWise

    @Tammy>>>I totally agree w/your posts. Damn, some people are straight up violent. I was whipped just like everyone else, but damn. I hope some people do themselves and society and favor and don’t breed. Lord knows there’s enough child abuse in this world (there is a difference between child abuse and whipping, but some people on here sound real scary. I can guarantee you if someone laid a finger nail on my child, there would be hell to pay. Trust and believe that. I do, however, believe this child should not have been on that bus, but the driver could’ve handled it differently. Grown people should have control over themselves (yeah, right) and not act like children. She was wrong and she got what she deserved.

    Why you make me scroll back up to hear that shit??

    ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  125. matt

    lils i feel you but let someone else yoke your kid up? i check my kid but everybody else but his mother better come to me if they got a problem and let me handle the discipline. period

  126. 1TruDiva w/The PlatinumVocals thinks the dog whisperer is hot!!!!

    @ Kigali–

    Why you trying to take me there??

    If she threw something at you, I’d CHOKE her!!!

    Lol!!!!

    Naw seriously– I’m not going to sit up here and act like Mykel doesn’t do any wrong but at the same time, I don’t have a problem dealing with her when it’s warranted. Like I tell her “It won’t be ME who’ll be embarrassed!”

    Lol!!

    She gets her bottom swapped when it’s warranted. IN ADDITION– The time is taken out and she’s taught the err of her ways!

    TRUST and BELIEVE THAT!!!!!

    @ A moment in the dark…

    I don’t know who told you different, but you are on Bossip writing comments, just like everyone else. You may think you are able to portray intelligence through proper sentence structure and verbiage, but at the end of the day, you
