Again, regardless as to whether it was a problem child or a little angel, nobody has the right to curse or berate a child that's not their own.

And there is the answer to why we have so many problems with kids these days..
Growing up I was just afraid of getting a beat down from the nighborhood adults if they caught me doing something wrong as I did from my parents. Wrong is wrong.. and if it's only an ass-chewing and not a beating big flippin deal..
Teachers are now powerless to discipline problem kids, where as our principal had an OAR in his office for the true troublemakers. These days a teacher looks at a kid the wrong way their job is in jeopardy.. "MOMMY, Mr Bluebell looked at me and smiled!!" "Yes dear, I'll call the school tomorrow and put and end to that crap!!"
If the kid,ANYONE's kid, is being a nuisance on a bus to the point the driver can't pay 100% attention to the job at hand, then the driver should be empowered to do what needs to be done to ensure the safety of the other 59 kids on that bus.
