Should they not have had an assistant with them, so the driver could be concentrating on the driving.

in Georgia it is not , at teacher a my wife’s school took her foot and lightly brushed it against the child’s butt ( not a problem child 1 of her better students and told him to take a seat ) she was arrested 2 hours later and terminated 2 weeks later another teacher was terminated for making her class hold on to a rope so the would stay in line .these are elementary school kids , it may be different in other states but not in Georgia.if a student hit’s a teacher all they can do is report it . TIMES HAVE SURE CHANGED !

You need to ask a lawyer on this one? Good question. I know one thing, the driver is never supposed to touch the child unless in emergencies only. And this is not an emergency. or like KJA63 says, are you making this up?

If you have to ask this on yahoo answers you don’t seem to care very much. Shoot I would be at the police station the minute i found out.

What sort of bus has straps that allow 5-year old children to be strapped with their arms spread out?

You just made this one up didn’t you?

Things like this often happen because so many parents think schools are responsible for raising their kids for them.

Well, consider this, when one has to question whether something is ethical or not, chances are it’s definately not ethical.

Trust your gut instinct.

no I dont think it is the fact is an adult is never allowed to put their hands on a child in such a way even if they are not behaving its abuse.

no it is not, go straight to the police or his boss and ask for some answers, that is not right, he cant do that, it dont matter how much the child is playing up, u should never restrain them,
