I saw the interview this morning on the Today Show. What a cute little girl! It broke my heart when she started crying while talking about the abuse she had to endure.

You go, Dad! I don't blame him at all and respect him for defending his daughter. If this has been an ongoing problem with this bus, why didn't the driver do something to help her? Put the bullies off the bus, tell the school administration about the abuse, say something to someone so it would stop.

I'm hoping that all charges against the Dad are dismissed, he did what he had to do. It's the bullies that should be facing charges; make an example out of them then kick them out of school. Then make it very clear to the parents of these out of control tormentors that their "Kids will be kids" attitude will not be tolerated. Some serious family counseling should be ordered by the court at the very least.
