A New Jersey school bus monitor charged in the death of a 6-year-old special needs student appeared before a judge earlier this week, after prosecutors said that she could have saved the girl’s life had she not been on her phone instead.

Her daughter had a rare chromosome disorder called Emanuel syndrome, which led to her being non-verbal and using a wheelchair. She was on her way to an extended school year program in Franklin Township around 9 a.m. on July 17 with the wheelchair she utilized secured in the back of the vehicle by the 27-year-old Davila.

The girl was found unresponsive, and officers who responded to the 911 call performed CPR. She was rushed to a nearby hospital's intensive care unit, where she was pronounced dead. "If she were in the back of the bus paying attention and observing the students as she was supposed to, this could’ve been prevented," prosecutors said.

"I don’t know how to feel about her release. I was prepared for her release, I thought I was. As long as they are following the law, I don't have any choice but to accept it," said Williams.
