A violent incident on a school bus in the US state of Ohio drew a strong reaction. The moments when a male student repeatedly punched and kicked a 15-year-old female student were captured on camera. During the attack, the fact that other students and bus staff did not intervene and watched while laughing drew attention, while the beaten female student was taken to the hospital. After the incident, the school administration launched an investigation.
A terrifying incident occurred on a school bus carrying students from Mahoning Valley Community School in Youngstown, Ohio. A male student attacked a 15-year-old female student in the 10th grade for a reason not yet known.
In footage that emerged, the male student was seen punching and kicking the young girl repeatedly. While the attacked girl tried to protect herself, the fact that those on the bus did not intervene drew reaction.
BUS ATTENDANTS DID NOT INTERVENE
One of the most debated aspects of the incident was that the bus driver and attendant did not take action during the attack.
In a statement by the Boardman Local School District, it was stated that the bus was passing through an area with road construction at the time of the incident, so the driver could not immediately stop the vehicle safely. The statement said the vehicle was stopped shortly afterward. It was reported that the staff member on duty on the bus was removed from duty until the investigation is completed.
15-YEAR-OLD GIRL TAKEN TO HOSPITAL
The 15-year-old girl who was attacked was taken to the hospital to have her injuries checked. No detailed statement was made about the young girl’s health condition. The claim that the school administration did not inform the family in time also caused debate.
REACTION FROM HER FAMILY: A COMPLETE FAILURE
The young girl’s stepfather, in a statement to the local press, said the incident was reported to them late and reacted to the school administration.
Saying they only learned what happened later, the stepfather used the words, “This is a complete failure in terms of communication and protection. I have no words.” The family argued that their daughter could not be protected on the school bus and that they were not sufficiently informed after the incident.
SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION LAUNCHED AN INVESTIGATION
The Boardman Local School District announced that it was being investigated whether the bus driver and attendant followed the required procedures during the incident.
As the investigation into the violent incident on the bus continues, it has not yet become clear whether any legal or disciplinary action was taken against the student who carried out the attack.
Meanwhile, Youngstown police are also conducting an investigation into another fight that occurred on November 9 on a bus carrying students from the same school. According to information in the local press, the connection of footage of that fight to the incident has not yet been independently verified.
