School Bus Attacks in Georgia and Indiana Spark Outrage

Two violent school bus incidents in Georgia and Indiana have raised national concerns over student safety on school transportation. In Bulloch County, Georgia, seven students were arrested and charged with battery for attacking a 7-year-old classmate, while the bus driver was charged with failing to intervene and report the abuse. The students have been suspended, and the driver has been dismissed. Separately, in Jennings County, Indiana, a 15-year-old was charged with raping a 7-year-old non-verbal special needs student on a school bus, with attorneys for the victim's family filing a legal claim against the school district for gross negligence and civil rights violations. Both incidents were reportedly captured on bus security cameras and have resulted in reviews and enhancements of school bus safety measures. The cases highlight ongoing systemic failures in protecting vulnerable children during school transportation.
