YOU GOT WRECKED BY A 66 YEAR OLD BUS DRIVER

Why can Florida not stay out of the A/V room? This story and associated video was from MSNBC and is worthy of a watch.Here is my take on the situation, and it is twofold: first and foremost, teach your kids to respect authority on some level. What is in the video is an example of blatant disrespect, which admittedly can be healthy at times, but not in association with a driver concerned for safety issues. Second, I will agree with Albert Taylor calling for a deputy, but not putting his hands on the kids.
Let's face some facts here; at one point or another we have all ridden the bus to school. It is a lawless frontier that is rarely dealt with on the level necessary. Legalities aside, the boys got what the parents should be delivering at home. The two kids are getting felony charges, while the driver (a school official), is receiving a misdemeanor. The mother, Sheri, mentions that her boys (angels?), are not allowed to go anywhere, whereas Taylor, 66, and kicked their ass "...can go out to dinner with his parents or whatever..." Guess what lady, he is 66 and more than likely has been around the block a time or two, that aside, he is 66! I am not so sure I would be concerned with whom he goes to dinner with, but on how your kids act while you are not around.
