- socialpyramid, on 03/26/2008, -6/+341"Ohio courts have repeatedly protected the schools by ruling that they do not have a duty to protect students while they are being transported on school buses and vans." - I see Ohio's Bulliers Lobby is in full force
- MasterThief117, on 03/26/2008, -11/+302How backwards can this ***** country get? First it's "oh, your girlfriend is a minor. You are now going to be a convicted sex offender at the age of 16." to this, "Oh, your seven year old daughter was sexually assaulted on a public school bus? Oh, sorry there is nothing we can do about it, even though the boy involved confessed."
This ***** sickens me. You know, if the legal system won't deal with this, why don't we give some Internet justice? - protogenxl, on 03/26/2008, -6/+289Call the cops and charge the kid with rape and school as an accessory
- GemStar38, on 03/26/2008, -8/+259I have 2 young girls who take the bus and this report sickens me. Who's duty is it to protect students while they are being transported on school buses and vans? They should not be called 'school' buses if it does not fall under their realm of responsibility.
- AnokK, on 03/26/2008, -12/+216OK I Dug, and now I am sad and angry. If I were the parents, I would go vigilante, but hey, that's me just a silly Anarchist tendency!
- inactive, on 03/26/2008, -12/+211Her father needs to remedy this situation - with a baseball bat.
- positron, on 03/26/2008, -4/+200He should do it on the bus, that way nobody is responsible and he can't be prosecuted. Right Ohio?
- DarKnight90, on 03/26/2008, -5/+121This is *****. It takes a lot to sicken me but this is truly an outrage. Dugg so this can be brought to peoples attention.
- wynja, on 03/26/2008, -3/+112God Bless the USA. It's amazing that parents can be put in jail for refusing to send their children to school, but the school cannot be held responsible for what transpires during their forced journey to school. This is outrageous.
For that matter, why are 7 year old children being transported with 16 year old children that have a history of being abusive. Setting aside the sexual abuse, this is still ridiculous. When I was in elementary school, we were bused separately from the high school kids to avoid bullying.
Ohio you have lost all of my respect. - LiquidIse, on 03/26/2008, -5/+98School district website and contact info: http://jackson.stark.k12.oh.us/district/admin/admi ...
Do what you will. - misfit410, on 03/26/2008, -3/+85That is funny, because when I was off school property and off school time a lady accused me of throwing a rock at her car when I was 7 years old, the school cared and suspended me for it.
- alexmcone, on 03/26/2008, -4/+81I hope they string those bastards. They say she imagined it !!!!
Its a seven year old kid for crying out loud. Have they no shred of decency ? - JackStowe, on 03/26/2008, -17/+88They are supposed to take care of its citizen. Ohio wake up!

Not a Rick Roll ^^ - FoghornLeghorn, on 03/26/2008, -3/+61You're misinterpreting what happened, there's very much something they can do about it, the boy can be charged with criminal charges. What they can't do is sue the school for liability, which I think makes some sense.
This is obviously an extreme case, but if you open the door to the school being responsible for your child's safety on the bus you're setting an easily corruptible precedent. What happens if kids are rough housing on the bus and one breaks an arm, should the parent then be able to sue the school district? Where is the line drawn between what the school is held accountable for? Just criminal acts? Any sort of of injury?
Here is what I think the school can be held accountable for when it comes to the bus, anything resorting from negligent or reckless driving that causes harm to the children, that is all, and that is assuming the school district hires the drivers.
Punish the boy as you would any minor who rapes or molests minors, but I really don't know if you have a case for suing the school over it. If you want to sue someone, make it the boys parents since he's not of legal age. - inactive, on 03/26/2008, -9/+64I agree with this. The school has no representatives there so its out of their control.
The problem is with the company supplying the bus service. They should come down on them with a hammer. - NoCt1, on 03/26/2008, -1/+55Thats not anarchy. Thats being a vigilante. Anarchy and Vigilantes are a little different. But agreed.

By the way, I'm from Ohio - this state isn't all bad. - veriix, on 03/26/2008, -0/+46I guess I'll start off with fixing your link: http://jackson.stark.k12.oh.us/district/admin/admi ...
- ChemiosMurphy, on 03/26/2008, -3/+47What if the Judge's children were raped? ***** would change REALLY quickly.
- dacardworld, on 03/26/2008, -28/+71yet another reason for me not to have kids
- inactive, on 03/26/2008, -1/+44I would hate to know what the hell happens at the back of a long bus.
- Needles13, on 03/26/2008, -2/+45How can you just say it didn't happen because a bus driver can't see 5 rows back? (remember it's a short bus) This is pretty ***** up, it's one thing to say you didn't see a kid standing up or throwing a piece of paper out the window, but getting raped for over a year and a half?! Come the ***** on! They even both had the exact same story! I'm as outraged as I've ever been.

By the way, I'm from Ohio - this state isn't all bad. - RetroEvolute, on 03/26/2008, -2/+39Because they'd rape people on buses?
- nebbo, on 03/26/2008, -5/+41more like another reason not to send them to public school now days
- mikeman10001, on 03/26/2008, -4/+39How the hell can you not sue? The school makes them take that bus.
"You have to take our bus.. But we're not liable for anything that happens on this bus that we made you take."
Sounds like a load of bs to me. - equilibrium7, on 03/26/2008, -0/+35WTF!?!? ...They ever hear of "Duty of Care"? Typical officials... push it all back onto the parents. *****.
- inactive, on 03/26/2008, -3/+35i wish they would give more information other than just "ohio" narrow it down so that we can all start tying up their phone lines and letting them know just what pieces of crap they are
- form3hide, on 03/26/2008, -5/+34Out of their control? I'm under the assumption that the school district hired this bus company, and therefore, the district should be responsible for anything that happens on the bus.
- ifman, on 03/26/2008, -2/+30THIS IS ABSURD! I was always told in school that the school was in loco parentis, meaning they had the rights of our parents with respect to authority and protection from the time we were picked up (or arrived on property by our OWN MEANS) until we either entered our vehicle or were dropped off.
I've been punished for things I've done on school buses, 10 years ago the school can punish me for throwing paper at a bus driver (gimme a break, I was 14) so why can't they protect our kids 10 years later. - inactive, on 03/26/2008, -6/+33So let me get this straight... If I find myself in the mood to rape and molest a child, I just need to be sure I am in Ohio and on a school bus?!? Got it.
- twisterrust, on 03/26/2008, -6/+33You Rape seven year old girls in Parties?
- oldhick, on 03/26/2008, -3/+30I would imagine this an attempt to avoid an extremely costly lawsuit. If there were civil caps on lawsuits then maybe organizations would be more likely to fess up... This is disgusting and awful and I hope the outrage in Ohio reaches a boiling point soon.
- wilderr67, on 03/26/2008, -6/+31This is horrific!!
- insertAliasHere, on 03/26/2008, -2/+26So you rape 17 year olds, then. Nice.
- Cyberbladewolf, on 03/26/2008, -2/+25The school is accountable for the bus. Hell, they claim it all the time, then disregard it when it's suitable. When I was bullied throughout elementary, and Jr High school, I'd constantly hear, "It happened off of school property, so there's nothing we can do." then when I fought back I heard the phrase, "We're responsible for you from the moment you leave the school until you step foot on your own property." and I got punished for fighting back. The school systems are fickle and sickening in their lack of justice. Not only do acts such as bullying go un-punished, and standing up for yourself gets punished, but horrid teachers get away with crimes, or not teaching because of the teachers union, and then horrible atrocities such as these happen and they claim they're not responsible.
BTW, I live in Ohio, and attended elementary and Jr High school in Ohio, just to make this more relevant. - robbob, on 03/26/2008, -0/+23Odd, when I got into fights after school, I got suspended because I was in route to/from schoool. I had to reach home first. Apparently its a little convenient to interpret the law for different situations
- cmdrNacho, on 03/26/2008, -2/+22you are ignorant.. please look up socialism
- PleaseJustDie, on 03/26/2008, -2/+22No wonder the driver claims it didn't happen, just look at him.
http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb83/Silentghos ... - FoghornLeghorn, on 03/26/2008, -0/+20Raped and sodomized? If the bus driver didn't notice that, either he/she's full of ***** or it never actually happened, seeing as it was confessed to I'm assuming it happened. No one is that absent minded.
- mlvassallo, on 03/26/2008, -1/+21I know this is a totally tasteless time to bring it up, but how many of you watch the bus footage at around 4:29 more than once? How insane is that?
- MemeWarrior, on 03/26/2008, -2/+22Is it fake because you're a bus driver in Ohio?
- misfit410, on 03/26/2008, -3/+22We do too.
- SinisterBunni, on 03/26/2008, -4/+22EXACTLY!!!! I am so ***** tired of seeing organizations point to an outsourcer or contractor and the cause of an issue instead of examining their oversight processes to see how broken they are.
- bobartig, on 03/26/2008, -1/+19Well, apparently, if you rode along to school with your daughter, asked her who had raped her, then pulled out a gun and shot them all, you'd just get away with it, as long as it took place on the bus.
- opticwind, on 03/26/2008, -0/+18Sorry, flawed reasoning...you'll be just as screwed as before, the school just won't get sued in a civil court. The rapist still gets prosecuted in a criminal court.
- NoCt1, on 03/26/2008, -0/+17Its the County supplying it for the school system. Not a company.
- inactive, on 03/26/2008, -1/+16foot job anyone?
- inactive, on 03/26/2008, -0/+15don't use your reverse psychology on me. Buried.
