Angry Yet ANOTHER school bus beating in Jacksonville

This time it was against a 17 year old pregnant girl. She is now in the Hospital fighting to save her unborn child. The other students who hit her, punched her right in the stomach several times. She will make it, but the doctors are doing everything they can to make sure the baby survives.

This is just getting rediculous. If these kids are fighting on the school bus like this, I just hope this is not what the future of our city is going to be like.

It was a Ford too. That's the saddest part.

Kids are downright cruel. That's horrible for the expectant mother

But you know what... I could care less; I have such a bitter attitude toward school buses and the *****ty kids who ride them.

Excuse me.

Very true, I used to ride a bus to school every day and never did anything like this happen. CPS and "concerned" citizens have parents so afraid to punish their children these days that kids are being allowed to, literally, get away with murder. And blame it on society and the TV to boot. If parents were allowed to, and moreover encouraged to, punish their children maybe things would start to turn around. I spanked my kids when they were younger...gasp...yes, I did and I'm not one bit sorry. They are both well adjusted and happy adults now that don't shoot people or beat them up when they feel they've been wronged. To quote a very famous book..."Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you punish him with the rod, he will not die. Punish him with the rod and save his soul from death." Proverbs 23:13-14 NIV.

Pardon my ranting...some things just make me so darn mad!

Why do you feel that way about kids who ride school busses?

Sorry for this long rant and if this is off topic... My seven year old is on a baseball team that I am helping coach. The manager's son is a punk with no control over his anger. The manager admits his son has a problem and he says he talks to him and his son told him he will not "do anything". He thinks that is all it takes.

He has been in a couple of fights in the dugout before the game starts. (He started each one). I caught him throwing his glove into the face of another player, I grabbed him by the elbows from behind and picked him up ... take him to his dad (the manager) and tell him his son is fighting in the dugout. He sits down and talks with the kid and then lets him play in the game. He told the other kids parents he wanted to talk to them about what happened after the game. They booked right after the game without saying a word.

I talk to the manager the next week on the phone about parenting situations. I told him my sons know that any behavior like that will not be tolerated and they know they would not be playing in that game if they are involved in something like that... I asked the manager why he did not bench his son... he said it would have hurt the team. I told him his son's actions hurt the team a lot more than if he was not to play. (Another parent told me his son had 12 opportunities during that game and only caught one ball and through it away. He also struck out once and this is coach pitch.) I then asked if his son was involved in another altercation if he would please bench him. He said no. Kids are kids and they are going to fight.

I should have never agreed to coach with this clown.

Am I wrong???

You're right, he's a clown. Some people shouldn't have kids. Your manager is one of them. Even Dr. Spock later admitted he was wrong. If you don't punish your kids in some form/fashion, you really don't love them.

I'm just bitter because I waited a year to get my learner's permit so I was stuck riding the bus (and still am) because of a simple miscommunication/denial in my family.

I believe I have to wait a year and a day to get my license. So I believe it will be April 30.

I wouldnt make a big deal out of it :P

I was lucky enough that I pushed and pushed for my license, and so the day I turned 16 I was out driving by myself About a year or so later they enacted a new law saying that you had to have a learning permit for 6 months before you could get a license, regardless of your age.

a little discipline always helps. i can get my license right now, but i have to get a job and pay for my own insurance first. as much as id love to have my parents pay for it, and a truck and gas, i know its gonna help me out in the long run. im not gonna be like most kids at school and depend on mommy and daddy to pay all my bills and then when its time to really work have no idea what to do.

these kids attacking others are no less than criminals. i dont care how old they are, they are criminals, thats it. they need to be charged for aggrivated assault and charged as an adult. need to abolish all this "oh hes a minor, he can almost get away with it" BS and teach these kids a lesson. let them spend 6 months in juvenile and see if they wanna keep attacking helpless kids.

When I got my liscense, I just went in and got mine regular liscense. Well I had to go twice since I failed the driving test. Lady said I pulled out in front of a car that was over a 1/4 of a mile away.

One reason why I keep reporting these school bus beatings that we keep having here is because I had something happen to me on a school bus before that pretty much changed my life. When I was in Junior High school which was about 12-14 years ago, I was riding the bus home from school. Well, this kid that always acted like a little punk decides to have a little fun. He take a pen and slobbers all over the end of it and then sticks that end into my ear canal. Less than a year afterwards I had to have surgery on because my ear drum and the little bones because they had started to deteriorate. I always had almost perfect hearing prior to this incident. I think the saliva got to my ear drum and reacted with it and messed it up. I didn't say anything to anyone right away, but I wish I had of, because I could have sued that little punk.

When I told the doctor about it, he said that is probably what caused it to happen. Right now, I may have 40% percent hearing in that ear. I will probably never have good hearing in this ear either. And this is all because of some lilttle rich brat who thought he was better than everyone else. Every child under 16 needs to have their little behinds tore up every now and then.

this is interesting, my youngest is now in 7th grade. i was totally amazed when he started coming home with stories of people getting in fights at school.
we all had a couple fights in school when we were kids these guys are running 2-3 per day. it's like a war zone in there.
he will not be returning to this school next fall. have to find something out in the country.
he's had a knife pulled on him once so far and been called out twice, fortunately he's a wrestler and able to hold his own but still not a situation i want him in. he's not there to learn to street fight, he's there to learn.
not too mention being offered drugs for the first time. this has been a big year for him. funny it's made him want to spend more time with me and a few select friends. funny his friends want to hang around more too. when they first strted junior high i was told by him and his friends that they wouldn't be hanging around as much now that they were in the big time. had an image and all.
there are still some good kids out there, but their getting harder to find.
mine started to slip a little and the school called and one of the things they said was. "at least with you we know you'll do something to handle this" seems most parents don't even want the school to call and if they do call. the parents read the riot act to the school, and then do nothing to hold their child responsible.

Yeah, the school fighting can be bad too. When I was in 10th grade, our school had a major riot that lasted for about 2 weeks. It didn't matter what the school done to try and stop it, it did not help, in fact made it worse. It was all because of a fight between a black student and a redneck. Then they started ganging up on each other. Several students had to be taken to the hospital. There were knives and probably guns pulled too. I know the school lost at least a 100 students in that time period, because of the parents took action. It was so bad, that it would take 10-15 minutes to go 2 doors down to the next class because the halls were so full of kids fighting and watching. Its times like these that make you scared to send a student to school. Then you can't even trust the school bus drivers to get them there safely.

From the time they leave the house in the morning to the time they get home after school, they are never safe anymore.
