The bus monitor charged in connection with the death of a 6-year-old student on a school bus last week appeared in court Tuesday. CSloanTV spoke to the little girl's grieving parents.

, who died on a school bus last week, appeared in court Tuesday to answer to the charges.

Amanda Davila entered the Somerset County courtroom wearing a prison-issued jumpsuit, facing second-degree aggravated manslaughter charges, but the judge let the 27-year-old out without bail, pending conditions."I don't know how to feel about her release. I was prepared for her release. I thought I was," Fajr Williams' mother, Najmah Nash, told CBS New York.

Heartbroken family members in court say Fajr suffered from a rare chromosomal disorder that prevented her from speaking, but she could make noises. "She did have earbuds in her ears and I did see her looking at a cellphone, but we don't know at this point whether or not there is anything coming out of it," said Michael Policastro, Davila's attorney."She was told, you are not allowed to touch any of the people who come onto, you can't even adjust their harnesses or anything. That's the parents' responsibility," Policastro said.
