News: Bus driver angers mom

By SARAH KENNEDY, CALGARY SUN

Stuffing a napkin into the mouth of a swearing six-year-old got a Cardinal Coach Lines employee moved to a different bus route, but the boy's mother says she's furious the woman wasn't fired.

Tina Zygadlo said she picked up her special needs son, Dominic, from the bus stop a month ago and noticed something was wrong.

"The bus aide got off and said my son was using foul language and when he wouldn't stop, she rolled up a clean paper towel and stuffed it into his mouth."

Zygadlo told the aide she would formally complain to the school -- that deals specifically with special needs children -- and the bus company.

...

Almost a month later, Zygadlo said she is baffled more action hasn't been taken.

Keith McWhainnie, vice-president of Cardinal, said the aide admitted to pushing the napkin into Dominic's mouth and she regrets what she did.

McWhainnie said there is a student management component to their employee training, but no formal instruction on handling children with emotional or behavioural problems.

the mother had every right to be angry and the busdriver should have been fired. she had no business touching a someone's child. all she had to do was report the child and someone would have let the mother know and maybe the child wouldn't be allowed to ride the bus if it continues. shrug

yeah, even if the kid was a fucknut, the driver needs to know that she can't just go doing stuff like that. It's unacceptable.

music "Whip You With A Strap" by Ghostface Killah


Picture me snotty nose sittin on my aunt's lap
The kid like 5 or 6, shit, I will curse back
I got it from the older folks, sittin in the living room
everybody had cups, Stylistics song boom
but then came Darryl Mack lightin' all the reefer up
baby caught a contact, I'm trying to tie my sneaker up
I'm missing all the loops, strings going in the wrong holes
It feels like I'm wobbling, look at all these afros
Soon as I thought I was good the joke's on me
I heard a voice "get in the room, I get angry"
Sting my feet catch a tantrum
spit, scream, fuck that
Momma shake me real hard, then get the big gat
That's called the belt help me as I yelled
I'm in the room like (panting)"huh, huh, huh" with mad welts
ragged out, bad belt yes her presence was felt
Then get my black ass in the bed it's time crash out (crash out)



Despite the alcohol, I had a great old Mama
She famous for her slaps and to this day she's honored
But when I was a lil dude her son was a lil rude
I picked the peas off my plate and pour juice in her nigga food
Get beat, then I'd run and tell grandman "mama hit me for no reason"
She whipped me hard when I finished eatin
and felt that belt stingin after I wet that bed
Hid my drawers and start cryin, when she felt that bed
Caught another when I told her those the fake pro-keds
In the corner weavin and screamin trying to block my head (ahHH!)
Nowadays kids don't get beat, they get big treats
Fresh pair of sneaks, punishments like "have a seat"

Back then when friends and neighbors would bust that ass
and bring you back to your momma she got the switch in the stash
That's back to back beatings
Only went outside for free lunch with welts on my legs still leakin yo

Upon first reading it, I was like... a napkin ain't nuthin!!!

Talkin to a kid that had this mouth scrubbed with a bar of soap!


On the other hand, it's up to the parents to administer, not a fucken busdriver or teacher for that matter.


I'm not buying the "special needs" plea though. hmph!
