Louisville, KY. School Is Mandatory,Does This Amount To State Sanctioned Sexual Abuse of Girl?

What is wrong with my city lately? I am ashamed to bring this one, it should never have happened. A poor little kindergarten girl was sexually abused by 2 third graders on a school bus.

This loosely ties into the sainted dead kid thread I began, in which a "childish prank" led to a child's death.

Well if throwing deadly weapons is a mere childish prank, what the hell is this then? School is madatory, us parents go to jail if we dont educate our kids. Nowadays a parent can barely pay the light bill, much less afford to take off work to driv their kid to school daily. I mean come on, Kindergarteners on a bus with third graders, where is the bus aide?

Sickenly, Kentucky parents are lax, because NONE of the other daggum kids on the bus told the driver!!

I am just furious, once again our school system fails YET ANOTHER child!!

This is America's Heartland, folks.

LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB Fox 41) -- Jefferson County Public Schools says a kindergartner was sexually assaulted on a school bus by two other students.

JCPS has finished its investigation into the September incident that happened on the way to school. The district says two third graders are responsible for the assault, a boy and girl at Klondike Elementary school. Both have been disciplined.

The victim is a kindergarten girl from the same school.

Lauren Roberts, the JCPS Spokeswoman says, "We did substantiate that a young lady was inappropriately touched. There was inappropriate physical contact. Some of that was of a sexual nature and she was verbally harassed by other students. While this did occur outside of her clothing it was very disturbing."

Where do two third graders learn this? Why is this allowed to happen in my city? I am disgusted.

Also, in my opinion this amounts to state sanctioned sexual abuse. I hope this mother yanks her kid from the school district period until safety can be assured. After all this school system milks our government for dollars allocated to the KY Safe Schools Act.

Do school busses count?

As a mom of 3 kids whom lives now in North Carolina, I have to say its stupid what they are doing. The reason why I left the State of Maine and moved here to NC was because my son at the time 5 years old was Molested by his teacher. The laws there are strict your child has to be in school its mandatory, yet they wanted my child to go right back to the same kindergarten teacher that had molested him.

She was still teaching right up until 3 years ago when a proud parent may I add, killed her, he had, had enough of seeing her molesting children. They found out in total that she had molested over 140 children and the school was allowing her to stay there and continue to do so, as well as teach. Just goes to prove that the one place where we think our kids are safe, they are not.

It can't seriously be argued that the risk of sexual abuse at school or on the bus outweighs the benefits of public education. The best way to ruin everything is to stop teaching kids.

Who do you suppose should be held accountable for the incident in the OP? I don't think there's an easy answer for that. You can only expect so much of the driver, their main priority has to be driving safely. It seems like it's possible that this could have happened despite a competent adult at the wheel, who almost certainly didn't notice what was happening.

You said that parents can't be expected to drive their kids to school because they can't take the time away from work. If the parents have to be at work, do you suppose the kids would be safer if they weren't at school? If the parents couldn't drive them somewhere, they would be left at home, right? Is a kindergartener unsupervised and uneducated and alone all day better off than a kindergartener who goes to school, even if there are third graders on the bus?

Third graders learn this type of behaviour from...
1.Older siblings.
2.Their parents.
3.TV
4.R- rated movies
5.Video games
6.Other children
Kids are exposed to a lot of 'filth' on a daily basis.
As a parent,all you can do is try to be the best parent
you can be.You can try to protect them,but you can't
watch them 24/7.You have to work and they have to go
to school.
I would suggest that all parents try and get involved with
their kid's teachers,schools.Attend meetings and let the school
know that you will be watching out for your children.

I believe that, as was posted in the OP, there should be a bus aide at all times on all buses. This year I've had to deal with an incompetent bus driver who, with the bus still running and children still aboard, got off the bus to tell parents to get a grip on their kids.

I believe the school district should be held accountable. The bus is school property, and on the ride home, in most places, the child is considered on school property until they reach their doorknob.

The bus drivers main priority is to drive the bus safely. I believe having one or two aides on the bus would help alot of problems that occur on school buses.
