Simple battery

[sdshaman]

I live in New Mexico. My son was assaulted on the school bus by the bus driver. Apparently he targeted my son on several occasions, threatening to duct tape him is he didn't behave. 2 weeks ago the bus driver stopped the bus and approached my son, who was being a 12 y/o on the bus, and told him to settle down. My son did and when the bus driver was walking away he found a toy on a seat and threw it at my sons face, hitting him with it.

I confronted the bus driver and he admitted doing it. I then reported the incident to his supervisor who also confronted the bus driver, who again admitted that he had thrown something at him. The video on the bus mysteriously did not record. The bus driver then falsified a disciplinary report he filed against my son. He dated the report a day before he actually filed it making it look like he filed the report before I confronted him and his boss. He also put things on the report that were not true making it look like my son was a bad guy.

This report was given to the supervisor of the transportation as well as the principal of the school.

How should I proceed with this? I want something to be done because this act was wrong even if my child was misbehaving.

side note: There was a separate incident earlier in the year where the video would have shown fault. It to also mysteriously disappeared.

yeah....um...

I live outside of Albuquerque New Mexico. My 12 y/o son has been cut down by a certain teacher who does not like him. She punishes him for simple things such as detention for placing his water bottle on a chip another student left behind at lunch. She has pushed to have him tested for special ed, which he passed with no concerns, and her latest is (since we have pulled him from the school) talking bad about him to his friends.

She has always tried to find some sort of fault in him, bringing that to his attention and has had him held back a year.

Is there anything that I can do about this?

am i the only one seeing a pattern here?

At this point I believe you've done all you can do. If the bus driver batters you boy in any way forget about calling his supervisor ~ call the police.

I don't condone what the bus driver did. As an adult they should exercise more control when dealing with children; BUT you do need to teach your son to behave. Maybe a little accountability on the side of child is warranted as well.
