• Mom Found Guilty of Trespassing After Jumping on Speeding School Bus

  A Raeford, North Carolina, mother says she feels relieved after receiving a guilty verdict in connection with her actions in January, when she boarded a school bus she says was speeding through a residential neighborhood. Mindy Brumfiel says the bus appeared to be traveling more than 40 miles an hour in a 15 mile per hour zone, and so when it stopped, she got on. After the bus driver asked her to get off, she said she wouldn't until she got her own daughter off -- then proceded to call the driver and idiot and tell him he was speeding. Read More...

• Bus Driver Dies While Driving Kids to School

  This is one of those stories that 1.) makes me glad to hear about a kid who kept her head and wits, while at the same time 2.) makes me wonder a little about the people who are entrusted to get our kids safely to school on buses.

• Mom Starts Fight on School Bus: "Handle Your Business!"

  A Tampa mom angry that a school bus driver didn't stand up for her 9-year-old took matters into her own hands, boarding the bus and instigating a fight between her kid and a girl who slapped her. Police say the woman told her daughter to go "handle her business" -- which I took to mean "Get a new mom" but apparently meant "Go kick some ass!"  Of course, the woman wasn't bright enough to spot the camera on the school bus, and it recorded the whole mess. I just don't understand parents these days. What kind of lesson is she passing on if she can't even avoid getting caught? Sheesh.

• How Safe is Your Kid's Schoolbus?

  Before you say, "Oh, this couldn't happen to my kid. Our buses are safe!" think again. Are you sure? A school bus near Houston was carrying dozens of teens when the brakes seemed to fail and the driver seemed to lose control of the bus. No one was hurt but that's when they found out that the driver had expired insurance, didn't possess the correct type of license to drive the bus, and had only been on the job two days. Read More...
