Bad School Bus Beating In Florida… Bus Driver May Face Charges

Three students are accused of beating a younger student aboard a Pinellas County school bus.

Officials said the bus driver from Lealman Intermediate School called for help when three students “ganged up” on a 13-year-old student, kicking and punching the victim.

The driver stopped the bus near 20th Avenue South and 51st Street. Police said the suspects used the emergency exit of the bus to escape.

Joshua Reddin, Julian McKnight, and Lloyd Khemradj, all 15 years old, were arrested a short time later.

An investigation revealed one of the suspects had tried to sell drugs to the victim in a school bathroom. The victim notified officials at the school. Later that day, the suspects and victim rode the same school bus home.

Officials said the victim tried to crawl under a seat on the bus as the suspects punched and kicked the victim for roughly a minute, police said.

The victim suffered a fractured arm.  Police say Joshua Reddin also took the victim’s money after the beating.

All three teens are charged with aggravated battery. Reddin is also charged with unarmed robbery.  All three have been released from police custody.

Lawyer has 11 lawsuits filed against JCPS concerning bullying

They’re being filed by an attorney who has a history of taking action in these types of cases.

 

LOUISVILLE, Ky. —Four new lawsuits were announced Tuesday against Jefferson County Public Schools.

All of them cited complaints of bullying within the school system.

Attorney Teddy Gordon has filed 11 lawsuits against the school district over the past year.

Two of those have been filed just in the past few days.

Some name students as defendants, others allege wrongdoings of teachers and administrators. But all of them are based on what parents called a lack of intervention by JCPS.

“Insults, bullying, torment, harassment — just an atmosphere of violence,” said Gordon.

The most public of the cases involved a second-grade boy at Frayser Elementary School. The lawsuit stated two fifth-graders “assaulted (the victim) in the bathroom at the school leaving him to die by hanging him on the hook in the bathroom stall.”

That lawsuit named a teacher, the school’s principal and the two fifth-graders as defendants.

JCPS has said that all staff members followed protocol.
