Creepy bus driver alert!
A Missouri school bus driver has been accused of cornering an 11-year-old girl and her friend at the back of an empty school bus and telling them they were going to “burn in hell” for being gay.
“She’s just been the most horrible bus driver I’ve ever had!” 11-year-old Maurissa told her local news station.

Maurissa is a fifth grader at an elementary school in Kansas City, MO. She says she and her friend were playing a game on the bus last Friday morning. When they arrived at school, the bus driver let off all the other students, but told the little girls to stay behind. She then ordered they move to to back of the bus, where she proceeded to lecture them for ten minutes about homosexuality, calling them gay and saying the children would “burn in hell real bad.”
“She was talking really bad to me and I didn’t like that,” Maurissa, crying, said.
The little girls had been playing a game that involved innocently touching one another’s arms. Maurissa said the driver told her she was “touching her best friend too much” and she was “gay for it.”
“She hurt my feelings very bad,” she sniffled.

When the crestfallen children were finally released from captivity, Maurissa raced inside the school and told a teacher.
Maurissa’s mother, Patricia, is upset because she says the school did not inform her of the incident until the end of the day.
“I feel like she was all day by herself, dealing with it,” she told local news. “How do you deal with that at 11?”
“She’s been through so much,” the mother continued, “she just did not deserve to be put in this situation. It’s not fair!”
The school claims it is not their responsibility to notify parents of incidents that happen on the bus, but rather it is the responsibility of the company that operates the buses, First Student, to reach out.
First Student said the bus driver, whose name has not been released, was immediately terminated.

First Student. That explains it. I’ve never heard a good thing about that company. Several years ago they were awarded the busing contract for a school district up here and it was such a disaster that the district had to terminate the contract early and give it back to the previous company.

@Kyler Phoenix: @Kevin L. Dennis:
THE ARTICLE SAYS SHE WAS FIRED. “Immediately terminated.” Learn to read.

And you know there is a 100% chance that the Bus Driver was some closeted self hating lesbian.
ANY time anything like this happens it always seems to be some self hating closet case.

Let’s talk about the criminal aspect of this situation: Holding anyone against their will is considered kidnapping. It does not matter that it was only 10 minutes. And, the school cannot escape responsibility just because they privatized their school buses. Bullshit all the way around!

That is so incredibly creepy.

@NoCagada: That language is hateful and unacceptable! Apologize!

Wouldn’t surprise me if the driver was a closet case.

..well actually—it does appear that he’s probably homosexual himself!
