7 year old Boy dragged off bus in Memphis video. Disgusting abuse of a child. Don't defend this!

There is no excuse for such violence against a child. I was upset because on other posts...people here defended this.


"A 7-year-old boy from Memphis allegedly suffered a concussion after he was dragged off a school bus by his feet in an incident captured on video.

The boy, a student at Robert R. Church Elementary School, was forcibly removed from school bus by an unidentified male employee on April 12, FOX13 reported. Shortly before the video was recorded, the employee was allegedly breaking up a fight.

However, the boy’s mother, Kimberly Hardin, claimed her son was not involved in the incident.

Hardin first saw the video after the parent of another child at the school sent her the footage. She said the school district didn’t inform her about what happened until days after the incident occurred.

As a result of the school bus incident, the boy allegedly suffered a concussion and bruises, his mother said, adding that the 7-year-old was afraid to return to school as well.

A representative for Shelby County Schools told Fox News in a statement that the employee has been removed from his position, pending an investigation"


Update grabbed the wrong pic and in fixing this saw that this is not the first or last incident sadly so I am posting my search...the Pic of the kids being dragged off the bus including down the steps is in there along with dozens of other instances...very sad

Particularly the black ones.

This is intended as but I've seen lots of posts that are pretty close to that sentiment, and seriously mean it.
