According to news reports, a 17-year-old South Carolina high school student, Tavon Walters, is facing assault charges after being caught on video slapping a 5-year-old girl on a school bus.
The girl’s father, Terry Peters, noticed a red hand print on Jazmyn’s face after she got home from an after-school program. Jazmyn told her father that the boy dared a girl to hit her but said he would do it if she wouldn’t.
Bus surveillance video shows Walters reaching over the seat and using the hand of the girl seated next to Jazmyn to slap the kindergartner in the face.
Police say Walters is on probation and has a history of violence and getting into trouble at school. The rural school district could provide no good answers as to why such a wide range of ages was allowed on this bus. The boy turned himself in and was given a $1,000 bond.
In the news report below, which shows the attack, the school superintendent didn’t help matters when she nonchalantly stated, “The behavior on the bus was not any more abnormal than on most buses.”
On why the 17-year-old criminal was even allowed to ride the bus, the superintendent said, “Well, he’s not had any bus incidents, for one thing.”
Where is the outrage from the Left or Black Lives Matter?
