I just read a story about a little girl named Blessing. You can read the story here. My mouth was dropping open the further I got into the article. I cannot believe that this child was assaulted on a school bus and she is the one that is being punished.
This child was attacked by two older kids. The two bus attendents did nothing, and apparently found humor in the incident that sent the little girl home in hysterics. Her mother called the police immediately, thank God for her common sense. Too many people would have first called the attorney or something. No, this mom kept her wits about her and called the police and an ambulance for someone to come check out her daughter to make sure she was physically okay other than the bruise on her body.
I am shocked and appauled by this. At what point to do we step up and protect our children? At what point do we stop other kids from hurting the younger, weaker ones? Actually, at what point does that become amusing to an adult, and WHY were they not removed from the bus route immediately?? Even if an investigation were to show that they somehow were not neglegent and contributors to child abuse, they should be removed until proven they were not involved.
I really hope that beautiful little Blessing gets justice for what has happened to her. No child should be attacked. A school bus is certainly no place that any physical altercation should be taking place. The slightest distraction can cause a horrible accident. Why the two monitors on this bus were allowing anything like this to happen is beyond me.
