A lawsuit was recently filed for the sexual assault of a special needs child on a school bus.
The child’s parents filed the suit against a Maryland school bus company for the injuries that were inflicted on their son.
Lawsuit Details
The suit claims that the seven-year-old child was abused by a 17-year-old described as a “sexual predator.”
According to the suit, the accused teenager had a history of sexual misconduct.
A teaching assistant was reportedly required to ride the bus with the student to supervise him and prevent incidents like this from happening.
However, the suit claims the teaching assistant wasn’t on the bus that day which left the plaintiff and other children in the hands of the bus driver.

The child’s parents are blaming the driver of the bus for being negligent and not protecting their child.
