    Marietta School Bus Chaos Posted On YouTube
    "I Was Fearing For My Life," Student Said

    POSTED: 6:36 am EDT September 16, 2008
    UPDATED: 11:12 am EDT September 16, 2008


    MARIETTA, Ga. -- Parents are criticizing Marietta school officials after video of a chaotic school bus ride was posted on YouTube.

    The incident began last Friday, when school officials said the driver pulled over to write up students who were being unruly.

    A cell phone camera captured students on the bus getting more upset, after the students claimed the bus driver refused to let them off.

    The students can be seen and heard on the video screaming for help. Students are also seen jumping off the bus through the emergency exit.

    One of those students, DeBrandon Harris, said he was suspended from school and cannot return until further notice.

    “I didn't do anything wrong. I was fearing for my life," Harris said.

    But the Marietta High School student and his mother believe that he’s being made a scapegoat for the other students.

    “This doesn't look good on my college application,” Harris said.

    Thomas Algarin, the communications director for Marietta city schools, told CBS 46 News Monday that this was the bus driver's first solo run with these students. It may also be her last. The driver is being removed from her duties pending an investigation.

    When the driver finally stopped in a shopping center parking lot, furious parents confronted her.

    Susan Caudill said she talked to her son while he was stuck on the bus.

    “If you had heard what I heard on the phone, including ‘I'm being kidnapped,’ it would take some years off your life,” Caudill said.

    Another parent, Jerrea Harris watched the video and said she never wants to see anything like this again.

    “This is unbelievable. I'm very concerned,” Harris said.

    The video has been removed from YouTube.

    School officials did not release the bus driver’s name. They said the investigation is ongoing.

    Officials said they will talk to all of the students who were on the bus.

    At first I thought the same thing until I saw the video yesterday on the news. Parents were following the bus in their cars because the bus driver wouldnt stop. They finally managed to stop her at a shopping center and get their children. My guess would be that she missed a stop due to being new and refused to listen to the kids.

    If I had a bunch of crazy asses following my bus full of kids I'd try not to stop either. How am I supposed to know they are parents?

    I guess we really need to see the video to understand.


    Edit: Saw some of the cell phone vid on the news, looks like a cluster of stupid kids? Would like to see the bus video.
