My bus number is 6112, route number 384.
00:04
The mother was at the school, angry with me and the principal because her child was put off the bus for cursing me out and cursing out the principal.
00:15
So he had some days off the bus.
00:18
She says she's going to beat my, you know what, when I get to the bus stop.
00:23
She's going to be there.
00:26
Because, Robert, she put all this way at the school, the principal could have called the police while you were there.
00:31
She took off.
00:33
She got in her car and drove away quickly.
00:39
So, you know, I got the principal in the bus.
00:43
I'm going to the stop,
00:45
and then I'm going to bring him back to the school.
00:48
So what I'm trying to say is if you can get the police at Old Chapel and Seward.
00:56
That's not how that works.
00:58
We don't just call the police and have them for something that we think is going to happen, driver.
01:04
Oh, it's going to happen.
01:06
She's going to meet me at the stop and assault me.
01:08
You know what.
01:10
Cover, that's why I said, why didn't the principal call the police?
01:14
Y'all, to break me on the bus?
01:17
Because she left.
01:19
She's not at the school.
01:20
She's going to be at the stop.
01:23
I have a cell phone? Because we can't just call the police for something you think is going to happen.
01:28
We call the police after something has already happened.
01:31
So I'm supposed to get assaulted, then you'll call the police.
01:34
That's really wonderful.
01:56
3-8-4, are you there? My invitation about 3-8-4 of us, I want to...
02:01
Yes, I'm here.
02:03
Can you let me know what's going on? You speak about someone else, ma'am.
02:06
I'm trying to help you. What's going on? I had an irate parent at the school, her child was put off the bus,
02:13
for cursing me out, threatening my life,
02:17
and... The mother is irate, she's come to the school, she was even threatening the principal.
02:24
The principal is on my bus now.
02:26
He's been at the school?
02:31
He is going with me to the stop.
02:36
She said she would meet, she's going,
02:38
you know,
02:40
trying to beat me up at the stop.
02:43
I didn't say anything to her.
02:45
All I said was a child riding the bus this afternoon, and she said,
02:50
I'm going to keep you know what when I get to the stop.
02:55
She was very nasty to me as the principal.
02:59
Are you still at the school? Merkel, are you still at the school? Yes and now.
03:04
No, I'm headed to the stop right now.
03:06
I'll be there in a couple minutes.
03:08
Okay, can you do me a favor? Like, when a situation like this happens, don't leave the school.
03:13
You're supposed to let us know before you leave the property so that we can make a decision on what you're to do.
03:18
So you've made a decision on your own.
03:21
You've had the principal on your bus.
03:22
You've not even let us know what happens.
03:24
We can't even support you because you've already made a decision.
03:28
I'm going to see if she's at this stop or what do you want me to do? Just go and turn around and take all the kids back to school.
03:36
For other kids to get off at that stop, I want you to certainly stop at that stop.
03:40
But if you need that, the police, when you get there, will definitely support you.
03:45
Well, I'm saying I'm sure I'm going to need them because she's very threatening.
03:51
She's very nasty.
03:52
She got her car.
03:53
I just had an accident, leaving the school, driving down the road quickly, got out of her car, a person in their car.
04:01
I understand your frustration, but unfortunately, I can't call the police for something that has not happened.
04:07
She's not caused you any bodily harm at this time.
04:10
She's not there right now, so I can't call them for something that has not happened.
04:16
But I'll definitely support you if anything should occur.
