The thrust of jimmy's suggestion was to create the impression that a pedophile was tailing the school bus, wasn't it? "Suspicious person around the kids/buses" implies a little more than an impatient "see you enn tee" honking her horn.
 
Don't get me wrong--I'm not defending her, but you want to make sure that you don't land in the soup yourself   |

Your report to the police brings a needless response and a possible criminal charge.  Her middle finger sticking up is a protected, albeit imature, expression of speech.  Whatever happened to bus stops?  When the bus stopping goes beyond the mere picking up of children and turns into a social gathering the bus driver could be cited for blocking traffic and/or creating gridlock, which is a stretch. |

You don't pull a gun that big unless it'a true. Even if un proved or proved to be innocent , the accusation alone will leave serious damage to someone's reputation and live. Possibly dangerous damage. What she needs, really , is a quick pullover and a calming down by a prosessional police officer, a reset if you will. But I do believe that agressive behavior toward a school bus shoule be reported right away. |
