How does this woman still have a job?  A school bus driver in Volusia County stopped her bus on a railroad track after becoming upset that children on the bus were misbehaving.  This woman actually decided it was okay to stop on the railroad track when children that were on the bus saw a train coming.  Allegedly the woman told the children she would get off the bus with her own child and leave the other children on the bus to get hit.  She has been giving a different assignment at work where she does not interact with children.  Unfortunately car crashes involving school buses do happen.  Lilly, O'Toole & Brown has represented dozens of clients invovled in crashes involving school vehicles, as well as school employees injured by the negligence of other drivers.  But to leave a bus on railroad tracks because one is upset with misbehaving children is well beyond the simple standard of negligence.
