[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 101804, member: 1550"] I don't think this is going to get "big." I don't even think I can win, but I'm trying. Today I visited the principal (and in our tiny community she has clout) to tell HER what is going on and she was VERY attentive. She said nothing would happen today (and it didn't), but that she would have the Superintendent talk to the bus company. I guess part of this depends on what the contract says. I'm not sure that the school can force the bus company to change drivers. I'm confused about that. If anyone knows more, tell me (I live in Wisconsin). I am seriously nuts thinking of her with my son and all the other kids too and I told the principal ALL the gory details about this woman and she seemed very attentive. The television station and newspaper did not call me back today. Nobody did, although the principal had said she would, so it's another day. Oh, I did call CPS, but they said that her racial slurs and the details I gave her about driver weren't child abuse...lol. I mean, if my next door neighbor calls and tells them that my child's hands are dirty, they investigate, but telling CPS about the driver isn't abuse/neglect. "The bar is rather high," she said. I got off the phone and laughed. REAL high--we all know how high...lol. So they're out. As for other parents, I don't know most of them. And no attorney will take this case pro bono. I can't even get an attorney that interested in it. If I can't get anywhere, my next move is to insist that the school send my son to school by cab and pay for it. There seems to be a lot more politics to this than I thought. [/QUOTE]
