A Georgia middle-school girl with special needs was allegedly sexually assaulted and raped by other students on a school bus as the driver failed to intervene, the girl's mother claims in a federal lawsuit.

"Emboldened by the lack of discipline and restraint," a second student then got up, sat next to the girl and groped her, the suit says. The lawsuit goes on to describe several more incidents in which the second student allegedly assaulted and ultimately raped the girl.

Over the next several days"without the intervention of the bus driver," the boy continued to inappropriately touch the girl, expose himself to her and force her to engage in sexual activities. On April 20, 2019, the boy allegedly groped the girl, removed all of her clothing and then raped her on the bus, the suit states.

"The Bus driver, in this case, was completely derelict in his duties and repeatedly exhibited a willful and deliberate indifference to maintaining student discipline and ensuring student safety," the lawsuit reads. The driver did not report any of the assaults until the day the girl was raped, when he told the school district that he had"noticed something," the suit claims. According to NBC affiliatein Atlanta, Fulton County Schools said the driver was"immediately separated from the district."

Horrific. The driver also should be prosecuted for abetment.

😱😢😡

A horrific case for sure but what it fails to say why over the course of 2 weeks she never screamed said no to alert the adult thats the most confusing to me. Hope the kid is tried as an adult.

Georgia...

Who in the fuck are these people?

😢😢😢all involved and bus driver are so guilty very sad 😢

So it's the bus driver's fault a bunch of white middle class american mothers have raised rapist children? Be a massive surprise to find out the colour of the drivers skin too. Unacceptable moral standards.

The bus driver is not dumb. He can see things happening in the rear view mirror. He could have parked the bus to stop the abuse. He must be held accountable. The parents of abusers must be held accountable, too. The girl must press charges.

I can not explain my Anger here as a mother of a special needs child

School bus drivers do the same as teachers, they look away and pretend it’s not their problem

Wow, I’m so sorry for her and what she went through and I hope the offenders get serious punishment including whoever failed to help

He has to focus on the road it's not his fault the girl made no noise and he didn't notice anything was wrong while he was driving.....

This is not the driver's fault

HillBeverlyhill As far as I'm concerned, the bus driver is a sick predator. Throw him in prison for allowing this to happen. The boys involved need to go to juvenile detention. What's really disturbing is that they are special-needs too. Where did they learn this behavior? Look to the parents.

peterdaou What the fuck. What kind of monsters are being raised in this world. That poor kid. How the hell did the bus driver just stand there and do nothing. This makes me so furious!

Sick

Serious Jail time for the driver and abuser

The age of Trump.

So disturbing!

HORRIBLE!!

cute

NCfarmer321 Cut their peckers off. Only thing that will stop them.

The bus driver and the boys should all be charged, and all should be made to register as sex offenders for the rest of their lives.

I have no words that are adequate to express the deep sadness for this girl and the rage I feel towards those who assaulted her and those who failed to protect her. This is just horrific!

Omg this is so terrible hard to read the bus driver should get life in prison and those little boys should join him

?

Thankful her mother took her immediately for medical care. The boys name will come out. Justice will follow.

God, I hate this world so much sometimes. This is sickening.

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

peterdaou Republicans want to slash funding for education. If there was proper funding, there would be special buses for special needs kids, or aides who sit with them on the regular buses.

This is why schools need more funding....the kids need real supervision by someone trained. I hope the family is able to be compensated enough so she can get private schooling where she's safe from harm.

What’s the matter with the bus driver? I can’t even find the right words to describe how despicable this is🤬

This is another example of STOP USING THE LIKE BUTTON.

This is so sad and evil this poor child and bus driver needs to bend over justice will rule this crime 🤬

Charge driver with assessory to rape!

What is wrong with people?....😒

Is here India?

What parents are creating these sexual assault perpetrators? Investigate the homes of all rapists involved.

I hope that the driver can be charged with something!

dissguuuusting

Unspeakable!

When adults fail to protect children, then this world isn't turning round anymore.

This is hard to digest and if true, a failure of what I consider the foundation of our society. We have to protect our children.

It never got *this* bad on my school bus (decades ago) but it was pretty bad. I don't have kids but if I did, I'd have a hard time putting them on a bus.

Both boys deserve to be castrated

goldietaylor Please tell me the driver was fired, that was negligence.

Ok, I've just about had enough of this sort of news, what kind of arsehole continues driving the bus? Probably out of fear of being shot.

Wtf

My god why wasn't their an aid on the bus with these special needs kids?

Wow..

😡

We use to get yelled at by the driver and fight bus monitors. Not anymore I guess. They just get paid to make sure you get from A to B and thats it!

Guaranteed the attackers were raised by progressive liberals.

All special needs busses I know of have an aide on the bus, in addition to the driver.

I hope the driver didn’t get off on watching it happen. And idc if the boys were special needs they knew enough to rape and molest a girl. They need punished.

According to my 8 yr. old granddaughter, they don’t discipline. They can pull kids’ hair, punch.

Another thot just occurred to me. Where did the boys, themselves special needs, learn this behavior Maybe it’s not the first time for them, or they saw someone else (an adult?) doing it to this, or another girl. We don’t know the whole story.

REFORMATORIO y PRISION COMUN BASTA DE APAÑAR CRIMINALES!!!

Problem is, a bus driver is not a babysitter. He can drive or break up an assault or fight between kids, but he can’t do both. I sense scapegoating going on here. Probably how the district will cover its collective ass. They’ll probably find some way to blame the girl as well.

And the driver needs to be charged as well.

Such brave young men, and such a responsible adult male driver. All need the wood shed.

Adults have been turning a blind eye to children getting abused since time began. At least now there is video, a child might get justice.

what the 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Not surprised.

LockThemUp if the evidence proves their guilt. Shame

What the hell is wrong with people?

If the students involved are indeed guilty, release their photos and names so that their lives can be ruined forever as they have done to this poor girl. They deserve no sympathy or secrecy even if they are juveniles.

The driver was... thrown under the bus. Literally.

I smell BS.

WTF 🤬😡

😳😔

Just wow. We are failing our children people!!!!!!!

the bus driver needs to ensure the environment is safe.. Sue his ass off.

😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Is Gym Jordan a substitute bus driver on his days off

This is terrible. What’s wrong with kids these days? More importantly what the heck is wrong with the bus driver?

If I was the bus driver on that bus I would have kicked somebody’s a””! You don’t let these kids do what ever they want.Including raping a special needs child!R u “F”ing kidding me!OMG!

I wonder how many of these abusive kids came from 'good Christian families'.

What the .......... I am so unclear how a bus driver who is picking up and dropping off the students, why didn’t the bus driver step in?! Unbelievable, makes me sick that this happened

👍

The children are so violent!😯 We become what we're exposed to! The work so vast, the workers so few.😔

The bus driver should not just be fired and banned from ever working with kids again but there should be a lawsuit against him and he should do time in jail. It is the bus drivers RESPONSIBILITY to protect our children while they are on the bus.

School bus drivers are not allowed to have physical contact with the children so the school bus driver did what they were supposed to do.

I think I know why you Americans have the 2nd amendment.

Horrific.😡

Expecting 'he is just a kid'.

Omg! WTF pardon my language, what was wrong with driver of the bus. He should be charged with aiding in rape of this young child.This is horrific. I am sick to my stomach.

Sue the driver, the principal, the Superintendant, and the School Board/Distruct! Fire the driver, and have him arrested for being complicit in the commission of felony RAPE of a disabled minor🤬🤮🤬

They just sent the special education paperwork home for These Brundidge Babies cause they have autism and ask if I wanted to have them ride the bus. I wrote HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL NO!!!!!! This is a damn shame!!!! The bus driver needs to be run over with his own bus! Let me drive!

W-what?....

My austistic son was bullyied everyday on the bus. The drive and the bus company didnt do a thing. I have been taking them to school everyday since. If you cant give a damn about that you shouldnt be a bus driver.

🤬

According to the lawsuit, the bus the students were on is equipped with a wide-safety mirror as well as audio and video surveillance so the driver can monitor what's going on. The bus is also small with only 3 or 4 rows of seats, the suit says. This is awful.

Bus driver must be charged.

Their asses better be in Jail! Including the bus driver. This is not a joke! It was the schools job to protect that girl and they failed her and her parents miserably. What kind of animals are these so called parents raising?

That’s beyond disgusting. I thought with special needs students, especially one described with this girl’s level of inability to communicate and function at an appropriate cognitive level that there would have been at least 1 aide on the bus to assist her. Would’ve prevented this

This is terrible!! 😔 as a mother I would sue as well.

I would go blackout rage mode as a parent. This is horrendous.

Omg. What is wrong with people? Omg.

Sadly, this doesn’t sound like a stretch. We removed our elementary kids from the bus because of the lack of supervision/intervention. Thankfully, the issues we were dealing with were nowhere near this serious, but our 10yr old was shown porn on the bus.

Oksista4U everyone on that bus students and driver should be held in a cell for 24 hours. Isolation. There is no hell great enough to punish all these perpetrators. Publish their names regardless if they are minors. The disabled girl they tortured was a minor. Sex crime/torture

Sick.

Solid parenting. Probably someone else's fault.

Parents raising animals.

Savages

Wtf!!!!

The driver is a bastard. Very freaking culpable

Fulton County.. that is all i will say.

I have no words.

Castrate those who directly participated and those that didn't do shit about it to stop the crime.

Wtf

OMG that poor child. 💔😤

And we have to know about this because....?

This occurred over several days! The bus driver is definitely culpable in these serial crimes committed against her.

BUZs DRIVER Must Be Fired & Kids Put AWAy to Stop hurting Other kids! Juvenile Hall must have these Predators put Somewhere else other than with kids that committed Less Offenses! Dangerous & Depraved CNN MSNBC Politico HuffPost ABC NBC CBS

What the Fuc!!

Trial them as adults and send them all to the electric chair. It's a waste of society's resources to support these vermins.

It is time to put a end to this conduct. The driver and the students should be sentenced to the full amount of time on these charges.

God-what is wrong with kids, these days (and their parents-and the officials in charge of them)?

This is criminal!

And you can bet that school district will find a way to blame the girl! Mainstreaming these handicapped kids is a mistake and a failure. The problem isn’t the “special needs” child (who can’t defend herself), but the rest of those little animals who see her as prey.

Disgusting

This is heartbreaking. The bus driver should go to jail for a long time. The students involved should be charged as adults. I hope this mother wins the lawsuit.

Gross

Middle school? And people kick up a stink when told that we need to educate our boys about consent. Parents: Do better!! Also, that driver is a rapist by proxy. Disgusting!

Sounds like another Jim_Jordan

The other students had some special needs of their own.

That driver should be charged as an accessory or accessory after the fact. Luckily that poor child wasn't impregnated by that little monster.

She should’ve been sitting in the front seat. If she was then the driver needs to be prosecuted.

Sounds like the driver is an adult accomplice!

Wtf ?!?!?

Are you f****** kidding me how in the hell did this happen?

Study Finds Girls Outperforming Future Employers In SchoolNASHVILLE, TN—The results of a comprehensive multiyear study charting the educational achievement of children throughout the United States were released Friday, revealing that the nation’s girls are increasingly outperforming their future employers in all subjects. “We looked at test scores from all 50 states and found that, across every demographic group, girls are consistently outscoring those who will someday have the power to hire and fire them,” said the study’s lead author, Jennifer Malone, of Vanderbilt University, who noted that the gap between female students and those who will hold 86 percent of top executive positions at the companies where they work emerges early in elementary school and continues to grow throughout high school, college, and graduate school. “For years, girls have performed better than their future bosses in areas like writing and reading comprehension, but more recently, they’ve started to surpass them in STEM subjects as well. At the same time, those individuals who will one day pay their female classmates a fraction of the industry standard have fallen further behind.” Malone added that if current trends in education continue, women will soon outnumber nearly all future tech workers, financial analysts, and government leaders at the nation’s universities by a two-to-one margin.
