Girl Gone Wild Leads to Assault on Bus Driver

GREAT MILLS - 2/9/2009

Printer friendly


 
On Jan. 30, at approximately 3 p.m., two students – a sister and brother – at Great Mills High School assaulted a female bus driver in the parking lot. A St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office investigation revealed that the bus driver was in a verbal dispute with a female student, 15. 

The bus driver told police that the female student had been suspended from riding the bus and that when she had asked the student to leave the bus; the student argued and assaulted her.
 
Then the student's older brother then allegedly assaulted the driver by pushing her head into the dash board.
 
The brother is 18-years-old; however, his name is not being released at this time because he has not been served with charges yet. TBN learned from SMCSO that application for charges has been completed against him.
 
The 15-year-old was charged as a juvenile and released to her mother.  This case is still under investigation.

Yep, would have had a whopping whipping at my house too. Would more than that never expected or accepted this behavior to start with. Where does anyone get the idea it is okay or acceptable behavior or even just response to a situation.
I hope they change the charges to adult for both...Civil charges against the student/parents...even if they have nothing...so it can follow them.
Who's or what is next if not permanent charges and reprecussions.

ignorance is no excuse
In order for the student to have been suspended, the student (obviously) had been notified by the school AS WELL AS the parent. She should never have even attempted to board the bus. As far as parenting goes, I doubt either of these kids have had 5 minutes of positive parenting their entire lives. Being a parent is not a right -- it's a responsiblity that too often is not taken seriously enough. My bet is that these kids live with violence at home. Not an excuse, but not an unusual outcome, either.

Not to get off the subject of this story, but what the heck are you talking about cphase43? That was the worst display of grammar I have ever seen! After reading it 3 times, I gave up trying to understand what you meant. LOL

I just do not understand kids and parents today. I am so sick of the parents that think their kids do no wrong and always justify their kids actions by saying the teachers/bus drivers are in the wrong. Kids that have parents like that will never amount to anything because they will never take responsibility for their actions. I would have left my daughter at the jail as long as i could have before i picked her up.

INSANE
this is just stupid. that girl should have known that she had no right to do that! Young teenagers these days are doing nothing but messing up the teenage name for every teenager out there. Both the brother and sister need to be punished, who in their right mind would do this...what kind of home do these kids live in!!!

Ridiculous
As a school bus driver myself if one of the students on my bus put their hands on me I'd be out of a job because I would whoop their @ss.

...as i would hope every citizen would. When you are assaulted, you have a right to defend yourself. Just because you cart their behinds to and from school FOR FREE TO THE RIDER does not mean you should have to endure their abuse. (Pls -- let's not even discuss how may of these kids have parents who pay taxes.) Whooping a** should be encouraged and in fact taught, because self-defense classes should be provided for these brave folks who cart these hooligans to and from their free housing to their free education and back again.

And, when, pray tell, will the juvenile justice system in this county stop giving cookies and milk to these kids and start some serious punishment. Home to parents -- Give me a break. These are the same people who raised these kids in the first place. Give them to Uncle Cameron for a while -- HE can fix their wagons!

I hope the parents read this article and relize what kind of losers they are to raise kids like that.

Bring back the "Good old days"
The problem is we have had our hands tied as to what to do and how to correct our kids. Not that BEATING them is acceptable, but punishment is and should be. Yeah, I'm older and a single dad, but I tell my son that when I was in scholl, the school took care of you, then called the parents and the parents got you again. Now they think you can't touch them at all. Of course, if you start when they're young, you don't have to. I have never raised a hand to my son, but he knows that there are strict repercussions for his negative actions. Just as there are positive benefits for his good behavior. We have a good relationship, but I am his DAD long before I'll be his friend. If we want our kids to succeed, we need to be a positive part of their lives.
Both kids should face some kind of punishment - otherwise we are teaching them and others that this is acceptable behavior.

The same type of actions happen at Leonardtown High School and others as well. Great Mills has been a wonderful school for those who want to take advantage of their education. Unfortunately there will always be those whose parents/guardians do not care; however that does not mean that these are only students from Great Mills. There are actually great students (and parents of students) that attend the school. Please don't place blame on the school or area; only on the parents that have raised these children!

Kick A**...
I am from out of town; and i cannot believe the stories i read here keep repeated itself.
First of all; No bond until trial date. They may settle them down. If not, the second
keep them in jail with no parole for 1st time convictions. These Southern Maryland girls (14to17yrs old) are running wide open and wild!!
